Guided Hunting Experience

Located in the heart of the Kowie-Kariega Conservancy, Ford Outpost offers more than just an exclusive bush getaway.

We are part of a conservancy where responsible wildlife management plays an important role in maintaining a healthy and sustainable natural environment. Through a successful conservancy-led wildlife off-take programme, hunting forms part of a broader approach to managing wildlife populations and the long-term health of the land.

For guests interested in this side of the bush, we offer optional, personally guided hunting experiences led by the landowner.

Whether you're here to hunt, explore nature or simply escape with family and friends, Ford Outpost offers an authentic and exclusive Eastern Cape bush experience.

Price and availability on request. Contact Brad on +27 (78) 129 9818 for options.
