4-Star Hunting

Staying at the 4-Star River Lodge places you in the heart of some of the most productive hunting areas in the Eastern Cape. From this comfortable base you can enjoy authentic plains game hunting combined with warm hospitality and a relaxed safari atmosphere.

Most of the hunting takes place on Side by Side Safaris’ own privately managed land surrounding the lodge. These well-managed areas hold strong populations of game and offer varied terrain including bushveld, open plains, valleys and mountain slopes. With over 35 huntable plains game species, the area offers a truly diverse safari experience and excellent opportunities for classic spot-and-stalk hunting with experienced professional hunters.

Each safari can be tailored to your preferences. In addition to plains game hunting, guests may also include night hunting, bird shooting or other specialised hunting experiences depending on the season and interests of the hunter.

After a rewarding day in the field, hunters return to the welcoming comfort of the 4-Star Lodge, where good food, relaxed surroundings and great company provide the perfect end to a day of hunting in the Eastern Cape.
