General Of Business
Jannie Otto Safaris is based in South Africa, 40 minutes’ drive from the Kimberley airport in the Northern Cape. We also hunt in other Provinces of South Africa and African Countries, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Tanzania.
Length of Safari
Jannie Otto Safaris caters for safaris that range in length between 7-21 days. Hunters can be assured that on a 10-14 days safari they will return home with a good mixed bag of exciting trophies. Travelling time must be taken into consideration when hunting in different provinces for certain species of game. Jannie Otto Safaris can tailor make your safari to meet your trophy requirements. Experienced Professional Hunters will be with you every step of the way to guide you to a successful and fun safari.
The Hunting Season
In South Africa we hunt from February through November. Keep in mind that May is our autumn/fall whilst June, July and August are our winter months.

Mid 60’s to mid 90’s in spring and summer is average.
- South Africa’s electricity supply is 220 volts AC 50 Hz. Appliances of lesser voltage require transformers and adaptors.
