Bow Hunting

 

Bow hunting is welcome at Kuru Safaris. We have designated archery only areas so that the animals do not have pressure from rifle hunters.  No permits or special documentation are required for bringing a bow or cross bow into South Africa.

​

We can provide spot and stalk as well as hunting from blinds for our bow hunters. If you wish to spot and stalk, please practice shots out to 50 yards. For hunting in blinds, shots will be less than 40 yards.
