On the hunt The hunting experience on STS-Meletse consists first and foremost of hunting free animals in their natural African habitat. Unrestricted by borders and boundary fences, both the hunter and the hunted roam free and far as they each fulfil their natural purpose. Your guides will be indigenous trackers, intuitive experts at following a spoor through our malaria-free savannah. They also play a vital role in making sure your experience is safe, true and uncompromisingly African. Whether per vehicle or on foot, our savannah delivers unprecedented access to an authentic hunting adventure.
