Renting a Rifle from Us

Prefer not to travel with a firearm? We offer rifle hire at $50 per day, with ammunition available at $4 per bullet. Our rifles are professionally maintained and carefully matched to the terrain and game species you’ll encounter. If you’re hiring a rifle, we recommend practising with a similar calibre before travelling.

Bow Hunters Welcome

Bow hunting is available—just let us know in advance so we can ensure the proper setup and tracking support for your hunt.
