Thaba Mmoyo Safaris offer a variety of
bird shooting (game birds, wildfowl
ducks geese, doves, pigeons) and then
a combination plains game and some
unusual stuff like the Spring Hares
and small varmint shooting.

Upland birds - guinea fowl and
francolin are flushed out of long
grass by walking up to them with
trained dogs or flushed out of the
corn fields or a driven hunt where by
beaters driving the guinea fowl
towards the shooters.

Waterfowl - we will put you directly
under the flight path in a hide or
in natural cover, or we can also put
you in a put blind in the cornfields
were they feed. We also use decoys put
strategically in the grain fields

We offer wingshooting all across South
Africa from the sprawling plains of the
Northern Cape to the bushed of Limpopo
province.

May, June and July is the best
months for the plainsgame/birdshoot
combinations. Accommodations would
be luxury with private rooms and
en-suite bathrooms.

On a typical hunting day, there will
be a morning an a afternoon shoot.

Morning Shoot
Normal wake up for a mixed day is 6:00
with a light breakfast at 6:30 to depart
at 7:00. Guineafowl and francolin are
driven over the guns by singing and
chanting African beaters. The guns
stand at numbered pegs. About four
formal drives are done in the
morning session.

Afternoon Shoot
At 12:00 we enter the dove and pigeon
blinds. These birds feed on harvested
grain fields, and the butts are built on
the flight lines. We also decoy them in,
and they offer very challenging high
volume shooting.
At 16:00 we move to the duck and goose
blinds, built from natural vegetation or
dug into the ground. The duck and geese
also come into harvested fields, and are
decoyed in. The shoot lasts until it is
too dark to see, and about 125 shots per
gun seem to be the norm.
