To ensure the safety of everyone, unnecessary wounding of animals, ethical hunting and that hunters and observers enjoy themselves it is necessary to have rules. These rules are as follows:

• Foreign hunters must be accompanied by a licensed Ph and outfitter. A PH must be booked when making your reservation.
• All rifles must be sighted at the range on arrival and the same ammunition used for sighting must be used for hunting. 
• No hunting permitted in the proximity of buffalo.
• No hunting outside designated hunting area.
• No hunting or shooting without the presence of a guide or licensed PH.
• The minimum calibre for rifles is .243 and .375 for dangerous game and only compound bows with a draw mass of at least 45lbs will be allowed. We reserve the right to prohibit anyone from hunting any species if we feel that his rifle or ammunition is not capable of making a clean kill.
• Hunting times are from sunrise to half an hour before sunset. The only exception is for bushpig.
• No hunting will take place on day of departure unless otherwise agreed to.
• Hunters are not permitted to hunt under the influence of alcohol and no alcohol will be allowed in the hunting areas or on vehicles.
• Tips for staff are welcomed; please pay them in the presence of management.
• Hunting in KZN takes place in accordance with nature conservation ordinance 15/1974. No hunting will be permitted without the necessary permits/licenses. These have to be produced on arrival.
• No hunting with the assistance of beating, dogs or baiting. The exception is bushpig.
• Only the Walk and stalk hunting method is permissible for able bodied hunters (except for bow hunters and for bushpigs)
• Bow hunters to remain at their hides at all times. (Once an animal has been shot it must be reported where after a guide will accompany the hunter in retrieving it.)
• Strictly no hunting from vehicles, in the no hunting zone, in camp or within 200 m from vehicles, hides, gates, or any waterhole.
• No practice shots in the hunting areas.
• No head shots allowed.
• Gun safety to be observed at all times. Rounds only to be chambered at the last moment before taking a shot. Remember to allow the guide to walk in front of you. If it is felt at any time that the hunter is endangering anyone the hunt will be cancelled.
• No loaded firearms on vehicles or in camp. A rifle safe is provided and you are requested to keep your rifle locked in there if not being used. Loaded firearms include rounds in the magazine and breach.
• No animal may be hunted that is not on the game quota. Any such animal will be charged at trophy prices, forfeited and charges could be brought against the hunter.
• It is the hunter’s responsibility to ensure that he shoots the correct species, sex and size. The guides are there to guide and get the hunter close to the animal. Do not take a shot if the guide tells you not to.
• An animal or herd may only be approached twice. After two unsuccessful stalks the animal/herd must not be further pursued.
• Only shoot one animal at a time. Hunting of a second may only commence once the first animal is retrieved.
• It is the hunter’s responsibility to ensure that there are no animals behind the one being shot at.
• The animal/herd must not be approached immediately after a shot has been fired. Allow the rest of the herd to calm down or to move away before approaching.
• No animal may be followed over internal or external boundaries before specific arrangements have been made.
• Wounded animals will be paid in full. The guide and management’s verdict in this regard is final.
• Do not litter. Use bins provided for refuse.
• Enjoy yourself , be safe and act in an ethical manner.

In order to prevent the accidental discharge of weapons due to negligence the following rifle safety protocol should be adhered to at all times.

• The safe handling of rifles is the responsibility of everyone in the hunting party. All firearms should be considered to be loaded at all times.
• Never allow a loaded weapon to be carried while travelling in or on a vehicle.
• The guide is always in charge and his word is law. Should they feel that a person/s are acting irresponsibly and endangering the lives of any persons, livestock or wildlife, they are at liberty to call off the hunt.
• Rifles are to be carried with the bolt open, shotguns with barrel broken and handguns holstered until such a time as the guide indicates it is permissible to prepare for the shot. The barrel should always point in a safe direction.
• Weapons are not to be pointed at any other person whether loaded or not under any circumstances.
• Never shoot at flat surfaces or into water.
• Do not load and shoot until the guide has indicated to do so.
• Keep your fingers clear of the trigger at all times until the shot is to be fired.
• If making use of a scope, be aware of obstructions in front of the barrel that are not visible through the scope.
• Never allow the unsupervised handling of weapons by children.
• Be aware of the position of all members of the hunting party and farm personnel before firing a shot.
