We cater for both rifle and bow hunters on our facility.

Our target markets include international hunters, as well as, local group hunts for corporate clients. SLAUGHTERING AND CAPING:
Our well trained and experienced staff maintains the facility and we offer full slaughtering and caping services. Slaughter starts when a member of staff collects your kill & transports the carcass to the slaughtering facility. Once there the carcass is hoisted into the facility by means of an electric hoist, our staff painstakingly skin and if required cape the animal and then store the meat in a hygienic cooling facility. All areas are kept equally clean and hygienic with the use of high pressure cleaning systems. Our caping staff are fully and professionally trained by a well known taxidermist. Great care and skill is used when skinning the carcass with the use of scalpels and skinning knives. GAME AND THE FACILITY:
