Most are taken from the home concession on foot. A few — rhinoceros, the larger elephant — are arranged on extended traverses, season by season.
The Big Five is a category that exists for a reason — every species in it can kill the hunter. We hunt them as such: on foot, with attention to wind and ground, on tracks that may begin at first light and finish past the heat of the day. [Operator voice on hunting philosophy pending Graham's content.]
The species most parties come for, and the one most return for. Hunted on foot in tracks read at first light and pressed through the morning.

Not a home-concession hunt. Arranged season by season with operators we have hunted alongside for years, on tags issued by their respective authorities.

Hunted on bait, walked to from blinds set days before. The most patient of the five and the one that asks the most of the hunter.

We hunt lion only on free-range concessions, under permits we have verified ourselves. Other operators do it otherwise; we do it this way.
[Concession sourcing, permit verification process, what "free-range" means in practice — pending Graham's content.]
Available under specific permit conditions through partner conservancies. Each opportunity is unique, fully documented, and quoted individually.

Hunted at the water line — pre-dawn approaches to known pods on river concessions. A short hunt for some; a long one for the patient.

Each season is hosted for a limited number of parties. The earlier we hear from you, the more flexibility we have on dates and concessions.
