Cardrona Safaris offers premier trophy hunting services from its prestigious private hunting preserve located in the heart of New Zealand's most spectacular hunting country. Premier quality red deer, trophy elk and whitetail, thar and chamois are readily available on our trophy hunting preserve and at other nearby locations. Cardrona Safaris, New Zealand, is the ideal hunting vacation for the serious hunter.

With Cardrona Safaris you can experience the hunting vacation of a lifetime. We give you the flexibility you want to make sure your hunting is successful and that non-hunters also enjoy the holiday of a lifetime. You benefit from Cardrona's: prime New Zealand trophy hunting and tourism location (only 40 minutes from Queenstown), superior tourism services (including our own private boat and trophy hunting lodge).

New Zealand is home to some of the world's biggest Red Stats ranging in size from 200 to 300 kgs. The trophy quality continues to improve - thanks to the quality of the original red deer herd and today's selective breeding programs. The largest trophies are taken on private hunting preserves, whose focus is to prodive you, the hunter, with the best hunting experience. A trophy stag is a majestic and splendid animal. At Cardrona we have had some exceptional trophies of up to 30 points.

We also offer hunts for elk, tahr, deer, chamoi, and water buffalo. The deer hunting season runs from March to August. The best time for trophy deer hunting is March or early April with the rut beginning in late March and peaking 15 - 20 April. Good trophies are still taken until the end of July when weather conditions make successful hunting more challenging.
