Frequently asked questions

Browse hunting farms, filter by province, species, dates and group size, and reserve the dates you want. Farms keep their own calendar up to date, so available dates are held immediately and the booking is confirmed once you pay.

No. The farm sets the price and that's what you pay. Our commission comes off the farm's side of the booking, not added to yours.

Yes. Farms mark the dates they can't take, so everything still showing is open. Your dates are held immediately, and payment confirms the booking.

No. There is no farm-approval step. Your dates are held when you book, and the exact location and farm contact details appear once payment confirms the booking.

The moment your booking is confirmed. Public listings show the area - the nearest town and roughly how far out - and the exact location, directions and the farm's own number come with your confirmation.

On a hunt over R10,000 you can choose to pay a 40% deposit at checkout and settle the balance 20 weeks before you hunt - or 30 days before, if you book inside that window. Anything of R10,000 or less is paid in full, and so is any booking made so close to the hunt that the balance would be due within 30 days.

Cancel more than 60 days before check-in and you get everything you have paid back in full. Inside 60 days the deposit is forfeited, and anything you paid above it is refunded.

Biltong hunts, trophy hunts, plains game and bird hunts. Each farm lists its own experiences and accommodation rates.

Many farms offer firearm rental. Look for 'Rifle hire' on a listing.

Most farms require silencers. When a farm is an exception, its rules say 'No silencers allowed'.

Some provinces and farms require a permit. Check the individual listing, and confirm with the farm before you travel.

No. Trophy fees are paid to the farm directly and are separate from the accommodation booking.

Get in touch and we'll help set up your profile, experiences and accommodation rate. Listing is free.

Nothing to list. We take 12% commission on the booking total (accommodation plus any day fee), dropping to 10% on Pro (R499/month) and 8% on Premium (R999/month).

Never. Commission applies to the booking total - accommodation, plus your day fee if you charge one. Trophy fees, species fees and anything you sell on the day are yours in full.

Booking funds sit in your Hunt Local wallet as pending until after the hunt date, then become available to withdraw to your bank account.

So a cancelled or disputed booking can be refunded cleanly, without us having to claw money back from you after you've already withdrawn it.

R25 on the Free plan, R10 on Pro, and free on Premium. It's deducted from the amount you withdraw.

Yes. You keep your calendar current, and we only offer dates you're actually open. Available dates can be booked instantly, so close any nights you cannot host.

From your farm dashboard. Close any dates you can't take - already let privately, family using the lodge, a burn - and nobody can book them. Everything left open inside your season can be booked on the spot, so keeping that calendar current is the job.
