More about us
Our company was established in 2002 and operates in 5 territories.
- We personally plan, organize, conduct and guide hunts in Southern Africa (South Africa, Namibia and Mozambique) for the Big Five, plains game, hunting packages, bird hunts and photographic safaris.
- Willie implicitly believe in modern day conservation principles and is of opinion that conservation, in conjunction with sustainable utilization based on fair, ethical private business principles, where everybody involved must benefit from such effort, will ensure ecologically intact “pockets of wildlife” in the Africa of the future.
