Big Five Rifle and Bow Hunting.
Big Five hunting in Africa
Whether you’re a seasoned Big Five hunter or planning your first pursuit, we tailor each safari to match your budget, preferences, and goals. We focus exclusively on Africa’s Big Five—elephant, lion, leopard, Cape buffalo, and rhinoceros—offering thoughtfully designed hunts that align with your expectations and experience.
South Africa remains one of the few destinations where a truly “classic” safari for all of the Big Five can still be accomplished in a single itinerary (this typically requires at least 28 days).
Our dedicated team of professional hunters are accredited, highly experienced Big Five specialists who work to ensure your hunt is safe, ethical, and successful. Each species presents its own challenges, and our methods and hunting areas are selected as carefully as the animals demand.

BOOK MY HUNT
Lion
Limcroma takes pride in bringing you the ultimate lion hunting experience in Africa. The semi-desert region of the Kalahari provides the highest quality lion hunting experience and this is where the experienced Limcroma team will provide you with the highest quality lion trophies. Our concession exceeds 40 000 acres in size and is also home to a large abundance of free ranging plains game. Hunts are usually done on foot and tracking them down in the sandy dirt will give you a lion hunting experience and trophy second to none.
Elephant
Limcroma safaris is fortunate enough to have the exclusive right to hunt the single best elephant area in Africa today. The area not only provides the biggest tuskers but also the best hunting experience you can ever go on. This is also by far the best buffalo area in all of Africa. This can be the combination hunt you have always dreamt of when reading about all the big African trophy hunters of yesteryear.
Cape Buffalo
In South Africa Limcroma has access to some of the most sought after dangerous game locations in the country. Our Cape Buffalo hunts are conducted in either the Limpopo Valley, in and around our base camp, or on one of our multiple areas located in the Eastern Lowveld bordering one of the largest and most well know National Parks in the world.
Rhino
All of our White Rhino hunts are conducted in South Africa on several of our concession areas. South Africa boasts the highest and healthiest sustainable population of White Rhino in Africa. This was brought about by closely managing these animals in a sustainable manner thereby ensuring their survival by using hunting as a conservation tool.
Leopard
The Waterberg mountain range and surrounding area is where we conduct our South African Leopard bait hunts. The Waterberg is known to be one of the most densely populated areas in Southern Africa as far as Leopard is concerned. This area is also the only UNESCO approved savannah biosphere in the whole of Southern Africa which makes it a game rich area with controlled sustainable hunting.
Limcroma Safaris has access to more than 80 000 acres in the biosphere. Please note that these hunts work on a strict permit basis and therefore we have limited availability.
Hunting Big Five game in Africa
An African safari often stands as the pinnacle of a hunter’s journey. The continent delivers awesome, skill-testing pursuits—and the intensity climbs when the Big Five are on the agenda. These legendary animals—elephant, lion, leopard, Cape buffalo, and rhinoceros—command respect and can be perilous. Thorough preparation, confident marksmanship, and disciplined weapon handling are essential to ensure a safe, ethical, and successful hunt.
The ultimate hunting experience of all – Big Five hunting in Africa!
Big five or dangerous seven hunting include buffalo, lion, elephant, leopard, rhino, crocodile and hippopotamus. These are considered to be the most dangerous animals to hunt in Africa, and the world for that matter.

Brian & Family
“After three unsuccessful leopard safaris with other outfitters, Limcroma Safaris was finally the outfitter that made it happen for me. Hannes and his staff are professional and goal driven individuals who take care of every little detail. My family and I shared many special memories and we look forward to many more!”
David
“I took all of the Big Five with Hannes and I’m still coming back. He runs a first class operation!”
Dale
“I have hunted with Limcroma twice. Both times I hunted with archery equipment. The accommodations, service, and food were first class. The PHs, hunting, and trophy quality were all as good as it gets for the bow hunter. I will be returning to Limcroma.”
