Professional Hunters and Outfitters

For a number of years running, the Eastern Cape attracted the most foreign hunter visitors of all the provinces in South Africa, generating the highest income of foreign currency via hunting amongst the provinces. The training, quality and ethics of Eastern Cape Outfitters and Professional hunters are also amongst the highest in the country, inter alia reflected by an almost total absence of cases against Eastern Cape PH’s or outfitters, lodged with PHASA (Professional Hunters Association of South Africa). Reasons for the popularity of the Eastern Cape amongst visiting hunters is contained in Advantages of the Eastern Cape elsewhere on this website.

ECGMA has developed a comprehensive set of criteria for Hunting Outfitter facilities and Services to comply to, and offer Inspection and Accreditation Services, the latter recognized by the Subdirectorate Nature Conservation of the Eastern Cape. Outfitters’ facilities accredited by ECGMA thus don’t need to be inspected by the Subdirectorate.

ECGMA is also a partner in a nationally accredited Professional Hunting School, Eastern Cape Academy of Professional Hunting (ECAPH).

ECGMA is affiliated to PHASA.
