Spiral Horned Antelope
Spiral-horned animals are hunted in the Umkomaas
and Baviaans River. Typically they are active in the
early mornings and evenings and offer some great
hunting. Crusader Safaris consistently takes the
best free range spiral-horned antelope in Southern
Africa. To be able to hunt these species in one
area, out of one camp and free ranging is a unique
experience in South Africa.

Small Game
Common Reedbuck, Mountain Reedbuck and the very
elusive mountain dwelling Vaal Rhebuck are endemic to
South Africa’s high country and one of Crusader Safaris’
specialities. The small animals, Duiker, Klipspringer,
Steenbuck and Grysbuck are worthy hunting adversaries
due to their small size and shy nature. The elusive, nocturnal
Bushpig is hunted over bait at night and is a great trophy.

Big Game Hunting
Crusader Safaris has secured the hunting rights
on a significant portion of the Balule, this is a large
unfenced area and forms a portion of the “Greater
Kruger Conservancy.”
The Balule is part of the APNR (association of private
nature reserves) that controls 650 000 acres of free
range big game country on the west of Kruger. Buffalo,
Elephant and all the big 5 occur naturally in the Balule. Nhoveni Camp Balule - Elephant Kevin Leago - Buffalo
East of the Balule in southern Mozambique Crusader
Safaris hunts the large unfenced wilderness Sabie area.
The Sabie conservancy has some of the best Buffalo
and big game hunting in Southern Africa. A short drive
north west of Maputo, ideal habitat, management and
genetics make all make the Sabie one of Africa’s great
big game hunting areas. Crusader Safaris has hunted
some outstanding old Buffalo bulls in this area.
The camps are typical rustic hunting camps, luxury
chalets and tented camps and an authentic atmosphere
add to these big game hunts. TD Kelsey - Buffalo Chad Gay - Sable Joe Timphony - Buffalo
These large unfenced wilderness areas, famous for their
big game hunting compliment our free range hunting

Useful Information
Malaria Free
All of Crusader Safaris hunting areas are
completely malaria free and malaria medications
are not required, unless hunting buffalo.
There are no mandatory shots although hepatitis
and tetanus vaccinations are recommended.
Clothing Sam Voss - Black Wildebeest Pepe Madrazo - Red Hartebeest
Laundry is done regularly so travel light, 3 pairs
of hunting clothes is sufficient. Dark browns,
khaki and camo are all good colors. A warm
jacket and a comfortable pair of hiking boots
are essential for our hunting conditions.
Weather
All hunting is done in the fall and winter
months and pleasant weather is expected
throughout the season. Rain is very unusual
and the typical temperatures vary from 60°F
to 80°F during the days and cooler in the
evenings and early morning. Haven Young - Southern Greater Kudu Michael Dunk - Nyala Frank Cole - Bushpig
Our hunting season runs from March through
November. Our mid winter months of June, July
and August can get somewhat colder. Early
morning and night temperatures can drop below
freezing, good for hunting, but bring some warm
gear. A more in depth look at Crusader Safaris
as well as travel arrangements, taxidermy and
customs requirements can be found on our
website. www.crusadersafaris.com
