TAU-NKWE SAFARIS ARE SITUATED IN THE BUSHVELD AREA OF THE WATERBERGE NEAR MAKOPANE IN THE LIMPOPO PROVINCE OF THE REPUBLICK OF SOUTH-AFRICA, Tau-Nkwe Safaris is also your introduction to the true African bushveld in all its harshness and beauty. Here you step into a world where the lifestyle is in pace with the rhythm of nature. Everything slows down and one becomes aware of ones own primitive needs. The hunting instinct comes alive and is able to follow its natural course : tracking, shooting and celebrating the hunt. Your South African safari starts on arrival at Oliver Tambo International Airport, where your Outfitter/Professional Hunter will meet you and transport you to one of the lodges. From the time you arrive until the end of the your safari, your travel arrangements will be taken care of. For clients' convenience air charter flights can be arranged for your own account. Temperatures during the February to October hunting season are generally hot during the day and cold at night. A large variety of Flora is found in the African bush, ranging from big Baobab trees to patches of thick thorny undergrowth. Please pack safari type clothes as to blend in with you environment, as well as ankle high boots to guard you your clothes, greenish colors as well as camaste are important for preventing for snake bites as well for tick bites. Fabric must be thick enough to protect you against thorns and branches. Warm clothing for the colder mornings and evenings is essential. It is advisable that anti-malaria tablets be taken 14 days prior to your arrival and continued during and after you leave. Speak to you doctor before visiting South Africa. Insect repellent products are essential for ticks. Don’t forget the sunscreen for that harsh African sun.
