The Kei River Conservancy is the gateway to the rich history of the Transkei in the north and the rugged Indian Ocean coast to the east. This is wild Africa in South Africa, an incredible hunting experience. The largest Kudu in Africa, monster Eland, Buffalo, Nyala and other plains game.
Niassa Mozambique
Crusader Safaris hunts Buffalo, Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Crocodile, Hippo and plains game in the incredible Niassa area of Mozambique. This wild, free range wilderness area is classical Africa. Mozambique is a country of unimaginable grandeur and beauty, from the warm Indian Ocean that washes 1500 km of its shoreline to the rugged mountains and sweeping bushveld of the hinterland.
Sightseeing
We cater for the whole family on our safaris. Combine your hunting trip with some of South Africa’s best tourist attractions, including our famous big five game reserves, beautiful Cape Winelands, the warm Indian Ocean, unspoiled beaches, traditional African settlements and a rich history.
“Exclusive access to the best free range hunting areas in South Africa, hunting animals in their native habitat, unfenced, for superior quality and an authentic experience, ensures you the best African Hunting Safaris.”

The Crusader Safaris Experience
& Conservation through Hunting
The search for adventure and authentic hunting, bonds forged over a cold beer and open fire under the African sky. This is the essence of the modern-day safari, areas that are big and wild, animals that are native to the areas hunted, areas that allow hunters to realistically expect to hunt game that is old, impressive and a challenge to pursue.
At Crusader Safaris we put a premium on the experience, age class and trophy quality are nonnegotiable, when you hunt massive free-range country this is the expectation. The most important aspect is the people you meet along the way, the stories that are told and ultimately the contribution we all make to conservation and the long term sustainability of the diverse game in wild Africa.
Over the last 20 years we have built a reputation for hunting wild free-range areas in South Africa, through sustainable hunting and real conservation our areas are better every year. The anti-poaching team in the Umkomaas conservancy, predator control in the Baviaansriver and the Kei and the valued relationship with the local rural people and land owners all contribute to the sustainability of the Crusader Safaris way. This conservation model, the Professional hunters, trackers, camp staff, the diverse areas, authentic African camps, scenery and experiences is what Crusader Safaris is all about and what we pride ourselves on.
Bird Hunting
South Africa has a great diversity to offer the bird hunter. Bird hunts can be arranged as part of a plains game safari where a morning or evening will be taken to experience the bird hunting on offer. Like all hunting, bird hunting is very seasonal and the best times are the end of May until early September.
