HUNTING

The adventure awaits...

Our hunting approach

Aligning with our breeding program and the overall Meletse philosophy, our hunting approach focuses exclusively on making the highest quality specimens available in their natural surroundings.

Whether in the wildlife, the accommodation, the catering or the hunting expeditions, be assured of a pure experience that delivers everything you might expect in a natural, authentic manner. Be prepared to be confronted with Africa in its purest form, as you embark to hunt some of the most truly spectacular animals of the Kalahari wilderness.

The conservancy STS-Meletse

Set in the rolling red dunes of the Kalahari, the hunting conservancy of STS-Meletse is 53,000 acres of unbridled natural beauty, a true hunter’s paradise.

Here, nestled between the dry Kuruman riverbed and the Molopo river, our centuries-old camel thorn trees and huge herds of game will challenge your hunting skills, as each dune crossing holds new, unexpected sights and sounds, you can easily expect a face to face encounter with buffalo, and huge herds of oryx and springbuck.

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.

Our animals

The massive expanse is home to kudu, springbuck, buffalo, roan, sable, rhino, oryx, blue wildebeest, black wildebeest, eland and red hartebees.

STS Meletse boasts the largest natural herds of our resident breeds, well-known for the fact that they have been genetically kept separate from outside dilution. Roaming free on STS-Meletse is the biggest concentration of trophy quality oryx and our exceptional Kalahari springbuck. Our buffalo herds roam free and far on the conservancy, of whom most of the bulls are Rowland Ward sized animals. Last but not least, our massive Damara springbuck rounds out our top tier hunting animals. Whether on the hunt for trophies or biltong, our variety will delight even the most discerning hunter. Bird life includes the intimidating martial eagle, secretary bird, kori bustard, an impressive white-backed vulture colony, and weavers with their typical communal nests.
