The TQ Safaris 102 program offers hunting in Limpopo and the Free State. Your preferred species help determine which region and lodge base best fit your safari. Confirm your lodge, hunting areas and transfers with John when selecting your trip.
The Limpopo lodge is on a private game farm near Thabazimbi. Guided hunting and hides near water points are part of the property’s offering. Rifle and bow hunting can be discussed as you plan your safari.
The lodge lists an approximately three-hour drive from O.R. Tambo International Airport. Confirm pickup arrangements and the actual journey for your itinerary with TQ Safaris.
A Free State lodge is also part of the TQ Safaris 102 program. Talk with John about which hunting area fits your selected package and dates, and whether your itinerary will use one region or both.
Request the lodge details, room arrangements and transfer plan when planning this option.

Build an itinerary around spiral-horned antelope, plains-game combinations, specialty slams or a first African hunt. Some packages use multiple concessions to accommodate their species lists.
The Limpopo property offers hunting hides near water points and welcomes bow hunters. Share your equipment and preferred approach when planning. Published terms call for a minimum seven-day bow-hunting booking.
Buffalo, crocodile, nocturnal species and other specialist hunts require individual planning. Species, permit or quota availability, hunting method and export eligibility must be confirmed before any commitment.
The South African brochure, packages and planning pages list the following animals and color variants. This is a planning catalog: availability depends on the concession, season, permits and confirmed quotation. A listing is not a guarantee that a hunt or trophy export is available.
Specially regulated species and specialist hunts require current approval and written confirmation. Ask about advance permit applications and trophy import requirements for your home country.

Tell us your priorities rather than choosing on price alone. Observer arrangements, extra hunting days, species additions, horn-size limits, transfer details and activities for companions can change the final itinerary and cost.
The published day-rate list and a particular package may differ. The written quote and hunting contract should specify the final inclusions and exclusions.
South African photographic itineraries are advertised for Kruger National Park and Pilanesberg. Discuss whether a park visit can fit before or after the hunt and how transport, guiding and accommodation will be arranged.
The Limpopo property welcomes families and non-hunting companions. Chalet verandas and safari-tent decks offer space to relax between activities. Discuss your guests’ plans and the amenities at your assigned lodge when booking.
Safari filming is offered as an optional service. Choose between staff filming and raw footage, an edited film, or a professional crew, and confirm availability, deliverables and a current quotation.
Confirm your destination airport, pickup, arrival and departure days, passport and entry requirements. If traveling with firearms, begin permit and airline arrangements well ahead of departure.

Discuss field preparation, your preferred taxidermist, mounting or dip-and-pack, export paperwork, import requirements, shipping and insurance. Taxidermy and transport are separate services with their own prices and timelines.

The terms list arrival and departure as non-hunting days, trophy fees for animals taken or wounded, advance notice for some permits, and signed hunting and indemnity paperwork. Ask how those conditions apply to your selected package.
Review current travel advisories and medical guidance for your specific area and itinerary. Discuss mobility needs with John and the safari provider, and consider appropriate travel, medical, evacuation and cancellation insurance.
