More about us
Our company was established in 1994 and operates in 6 territories.
- “Safari” is certainly the most well known Swahili word in the world. It means « journey / travel », but before all, it symbolizes the vast african plains, the adventure and the big african game.
- We tailor to become the emblem under which your most beautiful african adventures and expeditions would be organized and guided. Our team of bush guides will introduce you to mother Africa from the Cape of Good Hope to the Masai steppes with the greatest passion. Panoramic scenery and wildlife are our speciality!

- CAMEROON, West Africa where we hunt in both the Rain Forest and the Savannah areas. From BONGO to LORD DERBY ELAND and anything in between (including dwarf and savannah buffaloes, sitatunga, giant forest hog, roan, lion, elephant).
- FRANCE From French origin myself, we had to have this magnificent country on our portfolio. Hunt the French BIG FIVE Chamois (Chartreuse & Vercors) , Red Stag, Roe Deer, Mouflon and Fallow Deer. Various safari options & extensions combining some of the best European hunting with a touch of rich culture, world best fine cuisine and wine.

I meet this outfitter just short of 20 years ago. We have hunted every year ever since, sometimes twice a year. I have hunted with them in South Africa, Mozambique, Cameroon and Tanzania with always great pleasure and success.
Always very personalized services. Although Ihave always only hunted with CHRISTOPHE, I have met some of his PH and found them very professional. I would recommend any of them.
My stays are always too short...
Grand time with Great Friend
The Safari was well organized, with no surprises, game quality was very good, accommodations and food were excellent, and PHs were hard working and knowledgeable. Usually send skins back to the US for taxidermy but they had excellent taxidermy company and quality was first rate.
Hunting was fair chase but as is typical in South Africa properties are fenced. You have to decide what properties are large enough for your hunting philosophy. Did hunt buffalo in an area fenced on one side only and otherwise open for several hundred miles.
Lifelong friends is what hunting is about!!!
Beautiful country and lifetime memories. Great game and sporting hunting opportunities. I had so much fun I went back the next year and will go back soon.
I didnt like leaving!!!!!
