Activities
Embark on an unforgettable hunting adventure in the heart of the Eastern Cape, where diverse wildlife roams freely across rugged mountains, open plains, and dense bushveld. Among the many species you may encounter is the agile mountain reedbuck, expertly navigating steep, rocky slopes, and the regal kudu, with its impressive spiral horns and ghost-like presence in the thickets.
Keep your eyes peeled for the elusive nyala, moving silently through riverine bush, and the comical yet cunning warthog, tail raised like a flag as it makes a hasty retreat. In the open grasslands, the striking gemsbuck may appear, bold, alert, and built for the tough terrain, while the graceful impala test your patience and reflexes with their speed and alertness.
Whether you’re a seasoned hunter or new-comer, Ferndale offers a dynamic and rewarding experience, rich with natural beauty, challenging game, and memories that will last a lifetime.
