The size of our "bow-only" properties and the management plan we have in place assures great hunting opportunity all season long. That said, our most serious bow hunters prefer to plan their safaris around the new (dark) moon phases of the driest months of each season to stack all of the available advantages in their favor. The days leading up to, and just past a dark moon and a dry winter is the best combination to have those animals on their feet all hours of daylight in search of water and minerals.
The dark (new) moon phases for 2019 in Southern Africa are as follows:
May 5
June 3
July 2
August 1
August 30
September 28
To take advantage of the dark moon, we suggest timing it so the majority of your hunting days falls within that 10-day window before and after the new moon. Best of luck and safe travels to all of those hunting this season or to those who have their safari booked for next season!
