LOCATION:
Tusk
Safari & Game Lodge is located in the Limpopo Province
in the Northern region of South Africa.
This Bushveld area is populated with a wide variety of Fauna and Flaura; including
birds, reptilians, insect life and a diversity of vegetation (including Baobab
trees).
Our 1600 Ha facility is 4 hours away, by car, from Johannesburg International
airport, and around an hour by plane - the local airport for light aircraft is
an additional hour by road.
HUNTING:
We
cater for both rifle and bow hunters on our facility. Safaris for dangerous
game can be arranged into the surrounding area as well as neighboring countries
including Zimbabwe, Botswana and Mozambique.
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:
Game on the farm is meticulously taken care of . Vaccination applicators are
spread over the facility, spraying animals against pest and disease.
Game cameras are strategically placed in the veldt to monitor and observe the
