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.

About this hunt
We hope this offer finds you all well with everyone looking forward to the 2026 season! We are always excited about embarking on this hunt as this is a totally unique experience for the avid adventure/mountain hunter and a very unique hunt within South Africa. We hope to see many more of our clients doing these type of hunts in 2026! The area where the hunt will take place is near Kuruman in the Northern Cape, roughly 5 and a half hours drive from OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg. Charter flights in from OR Tambo can be arranged. The hunt takes place along the Asbestos mountain range. The sheep here were first introduced in the 1970's and have since spread across all surrounding mountains. The hunting area is 16,000 acres in size however the Barbary sheep are 100% free range. They have figured out how to navigate fences and now abound throughout the mountains. Accommodation for the hunt is breathtaking and you will be pampered beyond belief here.
Fitness is without question a requirement for this hunt. It is a HARD hunt if you don't like mountains! A quality long distance firearm with decent optics is also highly recommended. Shots can be quite far due to the tough terrain! (very rocky). Rifle shots can be anywhere from 100m to 400m. But there are many Aoudad. After we harvest an Aoudad we sometimes have to process it in the mountains to get it out. This is an ideal hunt to do early in the season as it is not too cold yet over on that side of South Africa, however normal hunting seasons will work just fine. There are lots of other great species to hunt in between the sheep hunt and the terrain supports a diverse abundance of species. Other species that are in exceptional numbers are Buffalo, Mountain and Burchell's Zebra, Oryx, Eland, Blesbuck and Springbok.
