GRAAFF-REINET — As part of the Wild Karoo 2016 Festivities, Union Preparatory School presents an exciting professionally-presented auction.
The Wild Karoo auction is opened to the public via online facilitation, from May 31 to June 2, and taken to a live closing by seasoned auctioneer Duncan McLaggen on June 3 at the Wild Karoo gala event. The auction catalogue can be viewed online from May 26 at www.wildkaroo.co.za where package information will be provided in comprehensive detail.
From luxury all-inclusive escapes to relaxed self-catering, the Wild Karoo auction offers an assortment of accommodation packages. Indulge in 5 star luxury: Tintswalo Atlantic, nestled on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean in the Table Mountain National Park; Mount Camdeboo Private Game Reserve in the heart of the Great Karoo - luxurious beyond expectation; the glorious 5 star Kuzuko Lodge in Addo - situated high upon a hill overlooking the vast expanse of the big five reserve below; vineyard views in the picturesque Riebeek Valley.
Perhaps an inclusive stay at Leopards Valley Lodge situated in the beautiful mountainous amphitheatre of the Sneeuberg Mountain range? There is also an array of packages for those who prefer the independence of self-catered facilities such as: an idyllic retreat to Oudeland Guest Farm; fun for the whole family at Keurbooms River Lodge; a private holiday home in Plettenberg Bay; and the elemental beauty of Mountain Zebra National Park.
The hunting packages offered range vastly in specification and there is something for all discerning hunters who support sustainable utilisation and responsible hunting.
Biltong/venison hunts-including Kudu, Springbuck, Mountain Rhebok, Warthog, Blesbuck and Wildebeest - have been packaged to cater to a variety of needs and include day hunts, self-catering father and son/daughter hunts as well as weekend dinner, bed and breakfast hunts.
An exceptional offering of trophy hunts such as Sable, Gemsbuck, Kudu, Springbuck (variety) and Blesbuck from professional outfitters Leopards Valley Safaris and Africa Anyway Safaris. All trophy hunt packages include dinner, bed and breakfast accommodation in picturesque settings at the likes of Karoo Wildlife Estates and Wheatlands Country House.
Game breeders can look forward to the inclusion of two Damara Springbuck Rams from Summit Wildlife. The top-class rams will be auctioned separately and the packages includes capture and delivery within the Eastern Cape. Summit Wildlife consists of a group of pioneering game farmers and many of their herds represent the very best in wildlife breeding, not only in the Karoo midlands, but also further afield.
Professional photography packages on offer include studio and location shoots, family shoots, a birthday party shoot and a farm property shoot. The artists behind the lens are Jac Grobbelaar Photography, Framing & Design; Lynnilou Photography and Rob Southey Photography.
“The Wild Karoo” is a fundraising event for Union Preparatory School and the school would like to extend special thanks to all the contributors and sponsors for their support and generosity- without these sponsors this event could not be a success. Tickets for the Wild Karoo gala event can be purchased from Union Preparatory School. No persons under the age of 18. For more information please contact admin@wildkaroo.co.za.
