Experience an authentic hunt filled with the challenge and thrill of the pursuit of trophy red deer, elk, whitetail, and fallow buck.
Hunt the New Zealand back country at Cardrona Safaris. The hunting preserve is in natural undulating and hilly back country, covered in native vegetation. It offers the best of all worlds - the excitement and challenge of hunting in natural terrain, and with maximum acessibility. Come in on foot or by 4WD, or be flown in.
Our private hunting preserve boasts magnificent trophy animals. Cardrona Safaris' game management and breeding programmes are focused on producing top ranking trophies to maintain our stock. After you've scoped the area and selected your trophy animal, the hunt begins. Spot and stalk. The deer are naturally elusive and will test your skills.
Wing shooting is popular in season with a good variety of New Zealand sport birds available.
Free range hunting for New Zealand Himalayan Tahr and chamois in the nearby southern alps is another thrilling and memorable experience. Fixed wing and helicopter access mean you don't have to be a mountain goat/Olympic athlete to enjoy this exciting pursuit. Hunters of all fitness levels are taking trophies of New Zealand thar and chamoi.
