Area|
Thabazimbi Bushveld Safaris is located in the Limpopo Province of South Africa, approximately 300 kilometres (190 miles) North of Johannesburg, on the Matlabas river near Thabazimbi.
Our lodges are located near the small, modern community of Thabazimbi, which translated, means "mountain of iron". (click here to view a map)
Thabazimbi is also known as the "Hunting Mecca of the Bushveld" and it is said this area holds more antelope per square kilometre than the Kruger National Park. |

We operate on two privately owned game reserves that are hunted (archery only) exclusively by Thabazimbi Bushveld Safaris' guests.
The terrain, which ranges from mountains to bushed plains to river beds provides excellent habitat for the wide variety of both grazing and browsing animals that live here.
The land is carefully managed exclusively as a reserve and the trophy quality of the game it holds, is second to none in South Africa. Record book animals are consistently harvested by Thabazimbi Bushveld Safaris' clients. |
Hunting is year round, but the majority of hunts are conducted between March and October. This is our dry season with moderate winter temperatures ranging from 0 degrees Centigrade (mid 40's Fahrenheit) at night to the mid 20 degrees Centigrade (80 degrees Fahrenheit) during the day.

Hunting is done from custom designed ground blinds, tripods and tree stands at watering holes or at intersections of game trails for those species that come to water infrequently. |

Blinds are large, comfortable and utilise one-way glass for viewing. Specially designed holders allow hunters to easily and quietly video animals and their shots at the water. Hunters are accompanied by a Professional Hunter, or if they prefer to hunt on their own a two-way radio is provided.
Blinds are strategically placed to maximise bow opportunities and the average shot distance is 20 metres (22 yards) or less. The terrain also provides excellent spot and stalk opportunities for hunters who prefer that style of hunting. |
