While to some they may seem awkward and clumsy, the hippopotamus is actually the world’s deadliest large land mammal, killing an estimated five hundred people per year in Africa. Hippos are aggressive creatures, and they have very sharp teeth, not to mention their ability to run up to 19 mph over land despite their massive size. The hunter needs to take care not to underestimate the senses of their quarry. Hyena are powerful predators with their powerful bites, speed, and intelligence makes for an exciting hunt. This eight (8) day hunt is for two (2) hunters on a two-on-one hunt and two (2) observers in the North West Province of South Africa hosted at Africa Maximum Safaris luxury lodge where they have over 300,000 acres of combined concessions to hunt with an array of different species of game.
INCLUDES: Eight (8) hunting days, accommodations, and meals for two (2) hunters and two (2) observers, professional hunter services, trophy fees for one (1) hippo and one (1) hyena to be shared by the hunters, field preparation of trophies, and all transportation by vehicle during the hunt.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS: Hunt is to be taken between August 1 and November 30 during 2026 or 2027. Buyer must get in contact with the outfitter within 3 months after they have bought the hunt to reserve dates for their safari. If trophies are taken early, the client will not be
required to suspend the duration of days donated for hunting. The hunt
may be upgraded, with extra hunters or observers at normal rates (as per the price list of year taken), extra trophies to be hunted, or extra days booked either on hunting or touring, as the client wishes to tailor the package. The arrival and departure point is Johannesburg OR Tambo International Airport. No permit drawing or lottery is required for this hunt.

To bring weapons into South Africa, an export permit from the United States is required. At South African Customs, the gun owner will supply the necessary import permit, on which a temporary firearm license will be issued. This is a safari hunt package, no credit will be allowed towards a photographic safari.
