Top Shooting Sports Spots in South Africa

I recommend booking your safari tour in advance. I waited till the last minute, and ended up with a limited selection. Don’t miss out on the best experiences like a night drive!

Take advantage of the photography time! I was too focused on shooting during the drive and missed some great moments. Set aside some time just for pics, especially at sunrise!

Pack your own snacks and drinks. The ones at FM Safaris can be pricey. I brought a cooler bag and saved a ton plus had my favorite stuff on hand!

You should totally bring your own gear if you have some! The rental fees can add up, and honestly, your own stuff is usually more comfortable. I brought my binoculars and it was a game-changer!

I suggest booking your session online in advance, especially on weekends. It can get super busy, and I ended up waiting longer than expected because I didn’t reserve a spot!

i recommend asking the staff about package deals or combo sessions. i opted for a basic package, but later learned i could have saved a bit of cash by bundling activities together.

Try to go on a weekday if you can. The experience is much more relaxed and the instructors can give you better one-on-one attention. I went on a Wednesday and loved it!

I think checking their social media for any special events or deals was helpful. I stumbled upon a promo that scored me extra ammo for free!

I suggest bringing your own ear protection if you have it. The house ones are okay but a bit bulky, and it made my experience much more comfy!

Try and get there by 9:30 am. The earlier you arrive, the better choice you have of the playing fields and it's less crowded. We arrived late and ended up waiting a bit.

I recommend wearing old clothes! You will get muddy and paint splatters are guaranteed. I regret wearing my favorite sneakers, they’re kind of ruined now.
