Get ready to experience the rush of the African bush with Elands River Safaris.
About Us
10 000 acres of
pristine hunting
With pristine hunting conditions in the spectacular Elands River Valley, Elands River Safaris offers our clients a unique and unrivalled experience with rifle, bow or shotgun. Our concessions are all based in the Eastern Cape of South Africa.
Our home base is less than hours drive from the airport in Port Elizabeth, now Gqberha. This makes us easily accessible after a long travel. Our terrain consists of jagged mountains, rolling hills, flat open plains and thick forests.
This plays host to us being able to have numerous species on our property. Numerous dams are on the property with the Bulk River running through the concession, giving our animals another constant water supply. The river also allows us to partake in some amazing stalks.
Eland, burchel’s zebra, impala, blesbuck, kudu and many more species abound on our concessions. Let us take out for that lifelong dream of being on safari in Africa!
