EXPERIENCE THE HUNT WITH KUKAMA AFRICA SAFARIS

Your passport must be valid for at least six months from your date of arrival in South Africa. It must be machine-readable and contain two blank inner pages.
Children under 18, and especially those traveling with only one parent, will be required to provide documentation upon entry to South Africa. 

 South Africa lies in the Southern Hemisphere, meaning seasons are opposite to those in Europe and North America. Winter is the dry season, while summer brings higher temperatures and rainfall. Climate and conditions vary across the country, with noticeable differences between regions and even between nearby areas.

In Limpopo, summer from late November to April is hot and green, with frequent rain and more water available, making stalking easier but visibility shorter. Winter from May to November is cooler and dry, with sparse vegetation and fewer water sources, improving visibility while making approaches more challenging.

 On your departure day, you will take your trophies to the taxidermist of your choice, located right next to the lodge.
This proximity between the lodge and the taxidermist provides an extra guarantee for the proper preservation of the hides, as it prevents any risk of overheating during transport.
At the renowned taxidermist's studio, you can give your trophies a final inspection, admire the showroom and the quality of the work, and then, with full knowledge of the process, order the desired services, either initial preparation (dip and pack) or complete taxidermy.
If needed, we can help you track the progress of your taxidermy from South Africa to your home.
