Grootpan Game Ranch provides clients with exceptional bow hunting opportunities. Two hunting methods are provided. The use of conventional hides/blinds or walking and stalking, the choice is completely up to the client.

Hunting from Blinds

We offer the patient hunter the opportunity to experience the African bush in the comfort of a functionally designed hide. Our hides provide maximum opportunity of getting your ideal trophy, and also to enable you to acquire the perfect line for your arrow. The hides provide an 180 degree view around the near vicinity of the blind, which enables the hunter to observe the superb species of the African Bushveld in their natural surroundings. Most of our trophies are hunted from blinds.

The excitement, adrenalin and satisfaction of hunting on foot in Africa is an unforgettable experience.
