The show is a shopping paradise that offers exposure for new and emerging market segments of the wildlife, outdoor, hunting and sport shooting industry in South Africa. This year, visitor numbers at HuntEx 2018 once again exceeded all expectations, with 32,356 visitors attending the show over five days to see 386 exhibits in 53 categories.

Exhibitors from all over the world showcased and demonstrated their latest equipment for hunters, sport shooters, game breeders, outdoorsmen and -women, trade professionals and many more. According to Adriaan Woudstra, owner and organiser of HuntEx, the show length of five days this year, with one extra show day compared to last year, took a lot of pressure off exhibitors.

It gave them more time to serve and interact with visitors and suppliers about new services and products they had on offer at their stands. Adriaan also mentioned that the timing of this year’s show was very important, with the show coinciding with a long weekend at the end of the month, allowing for a more laid-back visitor experience. Following NAMPO and Decorex, HuntEx has grown into the third biggest expo in South Africa, says Adriaan Woudstra.
