We welcome your interest in what Dream Hunt Safaris has to offer as an experience of Africa, the beauty of its natural heritage and wildlife with which this continent is so blessed. We further trust that the hunt and the challenge of the hunt itself will serve to greatly enrich you, as a true Dream Hunt.
How do we function?
The responsibility will be yours for the booking of your own flight tickets with the airline of your choice, and then further to inform us concerning flight number, times of arrival and departure. However, we will be glad to advise.
Trophies and Meat
No meat can be exported, Trophies may, however, be exported. Our fees include only field preparation of trophies. You will therefore be required to enter into an agreement with a local taxidermist for the further processing of your trophies and for the payment of their fees. We will arrange this for you and further inspect the trophies prior to export thereof, also ensuring that correct addresses are attached.
Liability
Whilst all care and precautions are taken to prevent accidents it should be noted that any safari activity is potentially hazardous, and it is essential that all lawful direction and advice of the safari operator or professional hunter be followed. We accept no responsibility for illness, accident or loss whatsoever incurred in the course of the safari, or for any expenses arising from such illness, accidents or loss. We accept no responsibility for late arrival of weapons or luggage or for cost incurred to collect such items from any airport or other place. Should weapons or luggage arrive late and Dream Hunt Safari have to collect such items, a fee will be charged. We also suggest you take out the necessary insurance to cover yourself and your property. Dream Hunt Safaris cannot be held responsible for any delays in flights.
Firearms
We recommend clients to bring their own firearms and a good supply of ammunition. Over the years, we have found weapons such as 30 06; -308;.300 Win Mag or similar, are ideal for plains game. A larger caliber weapon such as a .375 H&H or larger is required by legislation for certain dangerous game. Firearms can also be provided by the outfitter. Most hunting is done from March through to October. The colder months are May, June and July.
Safety
We wish to stress that you will be quite safe and that we will take utmost care to ensure your safety. Furthermore we would like to point out that conditions are overall quite safe and secure. On arrival at Johannesburg International Airport we will meet you. We will then assist in the clearing of your rifles and ammunition, if you choose to bring your own, for entry into the country and on completion thereof, depart for the camp.
General Guidelines
We can customize a package according to each individual hunter’s needs and preferences. Dangerous game does fall into a different category altogether, but details in this regard can be addressed while negotiating an agreement. Each client will be required to abide by all hunting rules and instructions as given by the Professional Hunter, who will advise you, the hunter, all the way and to the best of his ability.
Health
We advise clients and their guests to consult their doctors prior to their departure to South Africa. Our camp and hunting concessions are situated in Malaria-free areas. A first aid box will be available in camp and in all vehicles for use by the clients and their guests.
Clothing
We recommend khaki, brown or dark green clothing for hunting. Camouflage can also be used. A good pair of boots and a broad brimmed hat is advisable, as well as warm clothing for the evenings and early mornings as these can be very cold during the winter months.
