Africa remains one of the premier destinations for adventurous hunters, offering some of the best deals in big game hunting today. Many hunters are starting to plan their safaris for 2025 and 2026. It’s the perfect time to explore some of the “best of” opportunities offered by WTA in Africa.
Plains Game Hunts: Exceptional Value
Plains game hunts are among the best values in the hunting world. In many cases, you can hunt 7–10 days, take multiple animals, and travel to Africa and back for the same cost as a decent elk hunt with a license.
The Eastern Cape of South Africa is particularly well-priced for high-quality hunts. WTA has partnered with top-notch outfitters in this region, providing excellent service and unforgettable experiences. The area’s arid terrain and rugged mountains offer a fun and challenging hunt, with high game populations ensuring consistent success.
Here are some standout trips in the Eastern Cape:
Cape Buffalo Tracking Hunt
For those interested in true tracking hunts, WTA offers an incredible Cape Buffalo hunt in South Africa. This adventure takes place on a massive 60,000-acre property with a resident herd of over 3,000 buffalo. You’ll hunt on foot, with the added excitement of encountering lions, elephants, and other members of the Dangerous 7. Plains game can be added to any buffalo hunt.

Botswana: Giant Plains Game Trophies
Botswana is the place to go for massive plains game trophies like Greater Kudu, Cape Eland, and Gemsbok. Hunters here consistently take kudu bulls over 60 inches. The hunting is exceptional for both quality and quantity. Botswana is an easy choice because of its low population density and reputation for safety. However, demand is high. Our outfitters are already filling up for 2026.
Bowhunting in South Africa and Namibia
Many North American hunters enjoy the challenge of pursuing plains game and Cape Buffalo with a bow. WTA partners with outfitters in South Africa and Namibia that cater to bowhunters, offering options for spot-and-stalk or blind hunting. Multiple shot opportunities can often be expected in a single day. Check out this luxury Kalahari wilderness camp for bowhunters. Check out this luxury Kalahari wilderness camp for bowhunters.
