McDonald Pro Hunt
Sandy, having started hunting at a very young age and taught to be conservation conscious, followed in his father’s footsteps. He formed McDonald Pro-Hunting in 1991, and the company quickly grew into one of the largest and most reputable outfitter operations in South Africa. The company expanded across South Africa's borders and today also operates in Mozambique, Botswana and Tanzania. We will assist you in making the right choice for your safari, taking into consideration your hunting experience, species list, availability and of course, budget. Some of McDonald Pro Hunt concessions are in remote areas and you will be flown in by chartered plane. Even though you are literally in the middle of no-where you will still be able to live in civilized comfort. Remember the old safari movies where porters carried everything from dining room tables to a giant grand piano to set up camp? Well it's almost like that, minus the grand piano of course! The camps represent what a classic hunting safari is all about, from the furnishings to running hot and cold water. Accommodation can be in luxury canvas tents or thatched roof bungalows... It's all about experiencing a uniquely African style. All the camps and vehicles are in constant contact with the main office through an extensive radio network link and satellite telephones, so even though you might feel disconnected from the rest of the world, you're really only a phone call away. Camps are fully serviced and comfortable with competent staff to look after your every need. Experience and personal attention with an emphasis on detail and excellent references spanning over two generations sets MacDonald Pro-Hunt apart from other outfitters. Couple that with quality trophies and a high standard in ethics and it soon becomes apparent why MacDonald Pro-Hunt. Conservation
and hunting are closely related and MacDonald Pro-Hunt advocates the
intelligent
utilization of wildlife and natural resources. When
you book your safari we will make sure you receive all the necessary
documentation for your hunting trip, including rifle import permits for
the country that you will be hunting in. If given enough time we will
even arrange these permits to be issued ahead of time. If requested, a greet service will assist you through customs on your arrival in Johannesburg. You will be met as soon as you step off the plane and guided through immigration and customs after which our agents will place you on your connecting or charter flight to your next destination. As you touch down on the dirt
strip in the middle of the African bush, your professional hunter will
be there with cold refreshments to welcome you at the prelude of what
will be the most memorable hunting experience you will ever have. As
your guide he will be with you for the span of your safari, ensuring
that you receive only the best in what we have to offer. All the
professional hunters are highly experienced and undergo stringent
scrutiny before they are employed, only the best make the cut. One
of the fully equipped hunting vehicles will take you to the camp where
the rest of your camp staff will be eagerly awaiting your arrival. Your
personal chef, waiters, chamber boys, trackers and skinners are all
geared towards one thing, to make sure that your every whim and fancy
are taken care of.  Imagine dramatic African landscapes teaming with wildlife. Imagine the deep reverberating roar of the king of the beasts as the sun sinks into the horizon while you sip on a G&T. Imagine looking up at a star studded sky, the southern cross still twinkling as brightly as it did on explorers of centuries ago... now imagine your heart pounding away in your chest as you stalk up to a Cape Buffalo, your cross hairs focused on your target, the smell of the beast thick in your nostrils, so close you can almost reach out and touch it... Words simply fail to capture the excitement and thrill
of taking down
your first Cape Buffalo. The only way to really experience it is to
take the next step and actually go and do it yourself. |

hunts with experienced guides and well trained pointers. Again, the
areas
and the quality of the game are the ingredients for good safaris. We
are
fortunate to hunt some of the finest areas in South Africa.
Hunting
has
been a family business for the McDonalds for many years. Sandy's
father, Alex McDonald was one of the pioneers of Professional Hunting
in South Africa. He hunted Kenya, Botswana and South Africa
extensively, from the mid 1950's until his retirement in the early
1980's. His wife, Helen was involved with running the public relations
side of McDonald Pro Hunting until her passing in April 2008.
