Coastal Hunting with Jonny Fetting Safaris – Eastern Cape, Kenton-on-Sea
Jonny Fetting Safaris offers exclusive access to some of the finest coastal hunting areas in the Eastern Cape, centred around the spectacular Kenton-on-Sea region. This stretch of coastline is known for its dramatic dune systems, dense coastal thicket, and winding river valleys—terrain perfectly suited to some of South Africa’s most sought-after and elusive species.
Our coastal concessions are renowned for producing exceptional oribi, thriving in the open coastal grasslands where careful glassing and patient stalking are essential. The thick riverine bush along the Bushmans and Kariega systems provides ideal habitat for Cape bushbuck, offering challenging and rewarding fair-chase opportunities throughout the season.
The region is also home to healthy populations of blue duiker, found deep in the shaded, forested pockets of coastal thicket. These tiny antelope require slow, quiet hunting and an experienced guide—an area where our team excels. In addition, coastal conditions create prime hunting for caracal over hounds.
With Jonny Fetting Safaris, hunters experience the perfect balance of coastal beauty and authentic Eastern Cape hunting. Days are spent navigating some of the province’s most biodiverse habitats, while evenings invite you back to the cool ocean breeze and the relaxed charm that Kenton-on-Sea is famous for.
