INJABULA
IS PROUD TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE FOLLOWING ORGANIZATIONS:

Rules for game hunting

6. All firearms must be unloaded whilst on vehicles.
7. While in the camp, firearms may only be used on the shooting range. Firearms must be without any rounds in the camp area.
8. While in the hunting area, you must be accompanied by your professional hunter at all times.
9. While in the hunting area, you must be in possession of your written permission (and hunting licence on farms without exemption).
10. If a non-hunter is found in the veldt with a rifle, the hunter's tariff for the full duration of the safari is payable.

    c) Certain areas around the camp are non-hunting areas. You will be briefed accordingly.

The Ethical Hunter

Code of Conduct

In profound acknowledgement to the Almighty, Creator of all life with sincere appreciation for the universe in the sublime totality thereof, I hereby pledge myself as a hunter and as a member of the South African Hunters' & Game Conservation Association to:

• obey all written and unwritten hunting regulations and practices, and to take nothing from nature which I am not entitled to;
• hunt with compassion and to utilize from nature with utmost discretion;
• actively conserve and promote with love and respect, fauna and flora, soil and water and the life it represents;
• employ my firearms with skill and consideration, and with understanding for the value of life; and to hunt with humility, to respect my fellow hunter and to enhance and strengthen the sport of hunting.
