NextHunt Review – Beestpoort Hunting Safari’s

Welcome to warthog paradise.

There is absolutely no shortage of game and although the game is managed well in order not to make them too skittish, you should not expect it too easy. As it still hadn’t rained by the end of August, the bush was naturally very brown and in some areas somewhat barren, however the animals didn’t want for grazing and were in very good shape. If you are looking for warthogs, welcome to warthog paradise.

The terrain varies between thick bush, open plains and rocky hills. You soon get a good idea which areas each specie prefers. Some areas on the farm are inaccessible during the rainy months due to the slick turf preventing any but the most foolhardy access. What with 4,300 ha of hunting area (including the Naboomspruit farm), you’ll have plenty of space to find your quarry. The terrain is ideal for walk & stalk hunts, but also allows hunting from 6 hides, one of which is an elevated hide.

Because Beestpoort is made up of five ex-cattle farms, there are still a few areas where the fences haven’t entirely been removed yet. This is more of an aesthetic issue than a practical one, as it doesn’t hinder you or the animals’ movement. They also assists with caping and the delivery of your meat to one of two good butchers in the area.

All in all it was a very enjoyable and relaxing weekend and we look forward to our next hunt at Beestpoort next year.
Beestpoort is now a NextHunt recommended farm.

P.S. We’ve been back to hunt at Beestpoort 4 times since our initial visit and have always had a great time. One of the top farms in our books!

    Die beste JAGTRIP van ons lewe”
    Die wenresep vir ‘n perfekte JAG-naweek vereis net 4 basiese dinge, en julle by Beestpoort Hunting Safari’s kry 20/10 vir al 4:
    1. Goeie diens (Van reëlings tot ry was alles net maklik, gerieflik en lekker. Almal was vriendelik en behulpsaam en sou enige klippie in die Bosveld omdraai om dit vir ons perfek te maak.)
    2. Lekker verblyf (Ons kon lekker slaap, lekker saam om die vuur sit en net lekker in die lodge bly waar daar altyd genoeg hout en ys was.)
    3. Uistekende jaggidse (Herman en Dennis was nie net puik in die jagveld nie, maar hulle jare ondervinding en goeie geselskap het die ervaring net soveel meer spesiaal gemaak.)
    4. Die regte wild en opsies van jag (Van… te voet, tot bakkie tot sit en tot wag, die diere en jagervaring was maar net dit waaroor boeke geskryf kan word.)
    Baie dankie aan die hele span, dankie vir julle uitstekende diens en dankie dat ons sulke spesiale bosveldstories met almal kan deel. Ons sien julle verseker weer!

    I would like to thank Hardie de Beer, owner of Beestpoort Hunting Safari’s, and his team for a very special experience. We were a mix of 2 Hunters and 4 Non-Hunters. For myself and my friend who were the hunters it was a professional and pleasant experience. It was valuable to have the PH, driver and vehicle to our disposal, and they were very helpful during the hunt. We got what we came for. The Non-Hunters had a blast and enjoyed the bushveld stay and experience and they told me they had one of the best weekends in a very long time. The accommodation at the Main Lodge and it’s facilities is of a high standard, clean and comfortable.
