 Your hosts during your stay with Jimbah Safaris are Owen and
Riana Smith.
Owen and Riana are lifelong residents of the Eastern Cape
Province and are extremely familiar with the environment and
terrain of the Eastern Cape and all of the areas that you may be
hunting during your safari.
They have been dedicated to the Safari business since1986,
and since that time have hosted many
hunters, observers and guests from the USA, Europe and Australia, providing each of them with an unforgettable experience!
Owen has been a licensed Professional Hunter and a Licensed
Outfitter in South Africa
since 2001. He has, of course, hunted, lived and worked on
the lands of the Eastern
Cape for many years. His hunting style favors the “spot and
stalk” method of hunting used by most hunters in the Eastern
Cape. Owen rather believes in actually hunting ones quarry and
stalking as close as possible to provide for both an accurate
appraisal of the quality of the trophy, and a reasonable shot
for the hunter.
And, while Owen hunts hard every day , every hunt, he is also
enjoys relaxing with the hunters at the end of the day. He
enjoys hunters and hunting and knows that the shared experiences
contribute greatly to the memories you will take with you when
you leave.
Riana meanwhile, handles all the aspects of your accommodation
and meals in the lodge. In addition she insures that proper
records of your hunt are maintained and exercises tight control
of the business side of your safari! Riana has a background
including the farming traditions of the Eastern Cape and your
meals will feature many local dishes reflecting that. These
meals will also provide you with the opportunity to sample much
of the wild game being hunted. [Special dietary needs can be
catered to as required] You should look forward to the tasty
little “Starters” that will precede your evening meal, and be
sure to look for the home made “Rusks” to go with your morning
tea or coffee!
Owen and Riana are dedicated to providing each hunter an
experience of a lifetime. Their exacting standards and
professional approach to your safari, from beginning to end, are
dedicated to providing you with a safari that is both successful
and personally rewarding.
You will surely leave the Eastern Cape with great new friends,
and awesome memories!*
Jimbah Safaris hunting area includes concessions in the
Eastern Cape of nearly 1 000 000 acres.
There are 30 huntable species available in these concession
areas,

The Lodge and Ranch which is Jimbah Safaris primary
location is located near Bedford,
Eastern Cape, South Africa. The terrain varies from flat
plateau to mountainous, about 3500vt above sea level,
including open grassy plains and extremely dense bush.
The Eastern Cape is a fairly temperate climate, generally
including cool temperatures
in the mornings and evenings, which usually warm by mid day.
While the winter temperatures are usually mild, we have
hunted in light snow on a few occaisions in recent years.
The Eastern Cape is a malaria free area, so no preventative
medicines or shots will be required during your stay there. |
