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.
- At Bayly Sippel hunting Safaris, we pride ourselves on offering more than just the standard safari experience, we make your hunting safari an experience of a lifetime.
- Our Safaris are led by experienced, passionate professional hunters and trackers who conduct themselves to the highest standard at all times.
- With a wide array of species, world class accommodation, expert guidance and support, enjoy the hunting trip of a lifetime in Africa with peace of mind!
About this hunt
DANGEROUS GAME TAILORMADE HUNT
The average shot with a rifle on Plainsgame would be about 100 yards and at the top end maybe 250 yards. If you are comfortable taking longer shots, that is OK as well, but please practice shooting from sticks and standing up, as this is the scenario most of the time.
If Bowhunting, most of the blinds are set up for 20-35 yards shots. Bowhunting can be done out of various hides on the concessions or on foot by means of walking and stalking. Most shots will be between 20-30 yards, as our bow hides are all strategically placed to ensure the highest possible success rate. Any bow set-up that you use for big game hunting back home, for example, deer is sufficient for our plains game. We prefer someone to use a bow that they are used to and very familiar with then go out and get themselves a heavier setup, that they are not familiar with. Success is greater if you are familiar with your bow and used to using it. Fixed blade broadheads are recommended but a well-placed mechanical broadhead is also deadly. Additionally, for plains game we recommend an arrow of at least 400 grains and up and for dangerous game an arrow of at least 750 grains is recommended with a well-constructed two-blade cut on contact broadhead.
MINIMUM HUNT DURATION: 6 full hunting days & 7 nights.
ADDITIONAL DAYS: Can be booked at the regular rate.
HUNTERS: 1 Hunter x 1 Professional Hunter

Wounding
Unfortunately with the amount of predators, diseases and the ease of infection any game that is wounded, has to be paid in full according to the price list or package. But rest assured, we have some amazing trackers and great PH's that will try their utmost to find any wounded game even after you have left. The most common species to be wounded are Blue Wildebeest and Gemsbok. Shot placement is key, if you listen to your PH, and hit them in the correct spot, they won’t run far.Payment
