hunter experience

Hunters will enjoy multiple opportunities to harvest game - our guides work hard to show you a wide variety of animals to choose from. There is no pressure at Kaweka Ranch because we do not run our camp like a factory.

Kaweka Ranch offers both estate and free range hunting, and is happy to cater for rifle, muzzle loader and bow.  The warm climate of Hawke's Bay, natural deer habitat and game management plans are so well balanced that we can guarantee the exceptional quality of all our herds, year after year. 

The red stag at Kaweka Ranch are numerous and impressive, but it doesn't stop there!  Hunters will also find white stag, elk, fallow.  Kaweka is one of the very few New Zealand outfitters to boast an outstanding sika herd plus exceptional sambar and rusa - all 'running together' so there is no travelling to various small areas to hunt exotic species.
