Our company was established in 2015 and operates in 4 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.
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

At Bayly Sippel Hunting Safaris, we believe that Africa is for everyone and that every hunter deserves the chance to experience the magic of this continent. With that in mind, we’ve created a diverse range of safari packages to suit all hunters and budgets. From smaller, family-friendly or first-time safaris to larger, more expansive adventures in pursuit of Africa’s most iconic species, our packages are designed to deliver an unforgettable hunting experience without breaking the bank. Each safari offers: *Flexible hunting days – no rushed schedules so you can take your time and enjoy every moment.; adding extra days is welcome. *Freedom of choice – add any species you wish while in South Africa; you’re not limited to those listed in your package. *No trophy size restrictions – we hunt mature animals only, ensuring quality trophies and ethical hunting. *Options for both rifle and bow hunters. Our goal is simple: to make your safari everything you’ve dreamed of and more. Whether it’s your first time hunting in Africa or a return to the bushveld you already love, we’ll ensure every detail is handled with care and professionalism. From the moment you touch down at OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, you’ll be personally met by a member of our team. You’ll stay with us for the entire duration of your safari until we drop you off again at the end of your adventure. That means no third-party transfers and no uncertainty, just seamless service, personalized care, and peace of mind from start to finish.

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.
