WHERE ARE WE?

Boesmanskraal Safaris is situated at the origin of the Limpopo River near Rooibokkraal, at the confluence of the Crocodile and Marico river.

This area is renowned for having exceptional trophy animals. Being on the Limpopo River affords the opportunity to hunt both Hippo and Crocodile in the same area as you hunt your plains game.

The concessions are set next to the Botswana border in the most picturesque part of the Bushveld in a Malaria and Bilharzia free environment.

My husband and I were referred by a friend. After meeting and discussing the hunt and details, we knew this was the place for us to hunt in Africa. The accommodation and experience were first class. The food and chef were amazing. The staff are professional and trustworthy. The PH was helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Everyone works for the hunter’s success! Compared to other outfitters we researched, this was a better experience at a reasonable cost. I will refer everyone I know to Renier and his team.

I had the pleasure of hunting with Renier Els of Boesmanskraal Safaris in August 2025, after purchasing a package at an SCI event. Our group included my parents, my wife, and our 2 young children – and we had an absolutely unforgettable family adventure. Renier, his wife, Nadine and their sweet daughter Wolfie were incredibly welcoming and accommodating. The even made it possible for our 4 year-old son to participate by hunting impala and game birds – creating memories we’ll cherish forever. Highlights: My father fulfilling his lifelong dream by taking a magnificent Cape buffalo, the “Black Death” after several dedicating days of tracking. Completing my spiral horn slam with a huge eland on rifle and a stunning trophy nyala with the bow.

My wife, Stephanie, harvesting a gorgeous golden wildebeest on the very first morning followed by an epic roan toward the end of our stay. The accommodations were luxurious, the food was outstanding, and Renier’s PHs were knowledgeable, skilled and a genuine blast to spend time with. I highly recommend Boesmanskraal Safaris to anyone – whether you’re going solo, with a group of buddies, or bring the whole family like we did. Renier and his team truly deliver the trip of a lifetime.

Have been there twice. Everything is 5 Star at a very reasonable price from truly honest people. The Els and Pitout families (owners) have all become life long friends of me and my family.
