Bird hunting is enjoyed by millions of hunters every year in America. It is relatively safe compared to hunting animals and can be quite relaxing and fun for most people. If you enjoy bird hunting, consider kicking it up a notch by booking a trip on the South African Rovos Rail Pride of Africa train. This is where the thrill of bird hunting meets exotic locations and panoramic sceneries.
On the Rovos Rail Hunting safari, you will experience an eight day long trip filled with hunting exotic species, gorgeous fine dining experiences with dishes from the local cuisine, the best of wines and cocktail beverages as well as stellar round the clock room service.
What can Hunters Expect on the trip?
You can expect the next few days to deliver an adventurous bird hunting experience to all hunters as they move through various picturesque locations in a train that provides lavish accommodations.
The hunt will kick off in Pretoria, with the train and its passengers traveling through the western reaches of the majestic South African landscape. Once they arrive at their destination, the hunters can start hunting exotic bird species. To keep everyone refreshed and energetic, hunters will get boxed lunches that are served in the field, providing a short and fun break for everyone involved.
At the end of each day, everyone returns to their comfortable accommodations, where they are treated to a gourmet meal experience as well as top-shelf liquor and wine.
