Tahr hunting with New Zealand Safaris
Tahr hunting is what New Zealand Safaris has built our reputation on. Our tahr hunts are conducted on wild, free range, low fence/no rence private wilderness area land under 1 hours drive from the lodge, where we are foot hunting traditionally spot and stalk. All of these private wilderness areas are leased long-term and are exclusive to New Zealand Safaris. Our properties get you right in the heart of where the first tahr herds were liberated and thrive today. On these properties you'll find the highest tahr population numbers in the central South Island.
These properties have excellent mountain roads which allows us to cater to all levels of hunters. From glaciers to river valleys non-hunters have an opportunity to enjoy the scenery and watch the game.
Our properties are all within 40 minutes of our main hunting lodge, or we can camp out in the back country cabins if preferred.
And now for those that are limited on hunting days and fitness we offer special area hunts using our local helicopter for access into the mountains, these hunts are typically 1 day hunts which you would allow 1-2 hours per animal flying time.
