More about us
Our company was established in 2015 and operates in 2 territories.
- When two like minded individuals with similar ambitious ideas cross paths, it is only inevitable that something great should come from it. Combining their passions for the outdoors, people and hunting, Michael and Dempsey have formed a company that focuses not only on the hunt, but also the experience given to each client. Many years down the road we continue to proudly deliver that excellent service time and time again.
- With access to some of South Africa's top hunting areas we have been able to deliver unmatched trophy quality year in and year out. If not being guided by Michael or Dempsey, we have world class guides that have been carefully selected and vetted by us to ensure that you, the client, have the best possible experience and also ensure a successful and memorable safari.
- Due to our rich German hunting heritage which stems from Michael’s ties to Germany we have enjoyed a hugely eclectic group of clients from around the world. If you can name a hunting nation, the likelihood is that we have guided someone from there! Typically we attend a number of hunting trade shows from January to February every year and it's always a pleasure to meet up with old and prospective clients alike.

About this hunt
This is always a very exciting adventure that we are happy to offer to you all! This is our fourth year offering this hunt and we couldn't be more pleased to offer it again! This hunt is of course a very modern and affordable way to complete your big 5 and achieve that incredible hunting milestone. At present DSC and SCI recognize this hunt as counting towards any awards you may be eligible for as well as eligible for the record books. We have yet to meet a friend or client who has not said it was one of the best things they've done in terms of hunting! This hunt will take place in the Limpopo Province and is a painless 4 hour drive from OR Tambo International Airport. There are multiple Rhino on the concession and you will need to stalk into close range to be able to administer the dart. Although their eyesight may be poor their nose and hearing is great and it is a serious nerve wrecker being within range of them! You will need to be roughly 20 to 30 yards away from the Rhino to be effective. Once the hunter has darted the Rhino with the prescribed vitamins, a licensed veterinarian immobilizes the animal, where further blood samples, micro-chipping, DNA ID’s, pregnancy tests (if necessary) and a number of check-ups, are administered as part of the management and well-being of the animal on an annual basis. No expensive insurance for the Rhino is required for this hunt. The trophies we will be looking to take will range from about 20 to 21 inches. For privacy purposes accommodation pics and dart pics are not attached. You will be guided by a highly knowledgeable dangerous game PH and you will be in safe hands. Should you wish to take home more than a picture of your trophy keep in mind that the quality of fibre glass reproduction rhino horns and shoulder mounts is truly outstanding these days! If so let us know so we can take the correct measurements once we have the rhino on the ground for your reproduction mount.

Excellent hunting experience
Unbelievably and unforgettably
Absolutely professional Michael’s team. His own PH level is off the scale. Trophies are just unreal. If you are looking for a real Africa and a real honest hunting, then you are here The movement of a herd of buffaloes somewhere nearby in the bush, an eye-to-eye look at a distance of less than 20 meters, PH luring the buffalo even closer and an arrow flying to an incredible trophy… This is something I’ll never forget. Thank you guys, thank you Michael, thank you Africa!
Time has passed too quickly
Best outfitter I've used. 8 safaris in total, of which 2 with Bayly Sippel, next will be with them too.
Instantly understand their client's needs and preferences and taylor the safari accordingly. Enthusiastic, excellent tracking, lodging, skinning, easy-going and hard-working. I highly recommend.
Nothing.
