That is a lot of shooting in 6 days. That is a great bushbuck and one of the heaviest mtn reedbucks that I've seen. Nice impala too. Sounds like you had a wonderful hunt. Congrats. Bruce

HUNTERSHILL SAFARIS - Specialty Inn Reviews (Queenstown, South Africa)

Huntershill Safaris

Hunting brings in much needed foreign exchange to South Africa, not just at Huntershill.

Most hunters visit other areas of South Africa as part of their trip.

International hunters who have visited Huntershill have been very generous to the local community and have helped to build classrooms and other facilities at local schools.

Enriched and diverse wildlife

Greg has reintroduced several species and has brought in other species to enrich the wildlife experience.

Some examples are:

  • In 2002 we brought in 10 Scimitar Horned Oryx – the herd is now some 100 strong
  • In 2003 we imported a small number of Hog Deer (originally from Pakistan) and Sanbar Deer (originally from India); both herds now stand at over 100
  • In 2003 we brought in a pair of Pere Davids Deer from China - these are now extinct in the wild. Our herd now stands at over 100, which is probably the largest free-roaming herd in Africa
  • We have 5 types of springbok – normal, copper, white, black, Kalahari
  • We now have a breeding herd of Arabian Oryx
  • We have a group of Asian Water Buffalo that have started to breed
  • Our Indian Black buck are now a herd of about 20
  • Our Axis Deer herd has grown from 8 to 70
  • In 2010 we brought in Red Deer from Europe and now have over 60
  • In 2013 we brought in more Mouflon Sheep and now have over 50
  • In 2013 we brought in 5 Gayal from Indonesia
  • In 2014 we brought in 2 Golden Wilderbeest for breeding
  • In 2014 we started a Golden Oryx (Gemsbok) program
  • In 2015 we rescued a rhino cow from Kenton on Sea and released her
  • 2017 we started a dehorning project to protect our rhino population from poachers
  • 2022 we welcomed three healthy baby rhinos, born right here on the farm, in our breeding project!

Greg’s philosophy is to grow the herds until they are fully sustainable and only then allow hunting, when older and better specimens can be hunted.

conservation

Rehabilitated land

When Greg acquired the various portions of land, each one was badly damaged through overgrazing because farmers typically kept stock close to the farmhouses to avoid predators.

Tenant farmers particularly had only a short-term view and allowed the land to deteriorate badly, while overgrazing the closest fields.

Greg has slowly rehabilitated virtually every part of the extended farm, a process which takes many years. Where before there was devastation there is now lush grassland and savanna, sustaining herds of game.

Educational zoo

At Huntershill we have established a mini zoo.

Huntershill regularly acquires excess animals from zoos and has often exchanged animals with East London and Johannesburg Zoos and has supplied animals to other zoos.

Educational tours are a regular occurrence, which Huntershill does not charge for.

Children are brought by coach from various surrounding schools, sometimes 80-90 at a time.

At Huntershill they are given the opportunity to see game and domestic animals and are given talks on farming, ecology, conservation and wildlife.

A snack and a cool drink makes this a wonderful experience for the children.

Recycling and sustainability at Huntershill Lodge

There is no waste at Huntershill.  Wherever possible everything is recycled.

Hunted animals are skinned on the premises and the venison is used on the premises or transported to our butchery for processing.

Skins are sold for leather, bones are used to make bonemeal and the offal for pets mince.

Huntershill is situated on Wildschutsberg Farm, where lucerne is grown for feed in harsh winters.  Some lucerne is baled and transported to the game farm for the buck and other animals, while the non-hunted buck are allowed in to the fields for grazing.  In the summer cattle from the farm are released into some areas, where they eat the longer grass, making the shorter grass more palatable to the grazers.

Conservation benefits everyone

Here is a quote from a visitor in early 2011:

“ As a regular visitor to game parks and game lodges in South Africa and throughout Southern Africa I thought I’d seen the best that is on offer. Until I visited Wildschutsberg.  On this afternoon’s drive, on one hill I saw eland, sable, zebra, black, white and normal springbok, waterbuck, impala, blue wildebeest, black wildebeest and red hartebeest. And not in small numbers, but in small herds. As we drove along the track the red hartebeest almost seemed to be racing us as they traversed the side of the mountain.  Later in the 2-hour drive we saw rhino (a mother and calf), lechwe, copper springbok, gemsbok, fallow deer and more. Although the farm is vast, each time we crossed to a new area we saw more. I have never seen such an abundance and variety of game in one place.  To top it all, the scenery is breathtaking”.

    When we started looking for a safari outfitter we wanted someone who would not just stick us in a blind but let us still hunt and spot and stalk, They made sure we had multiple opportunities! The 5 star chef makes sure you never leave hungry and the chalets are extremely comfortable.
