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

When looking back on this specific hunt for these amazing little antelope the only way to describe our season for them is simply unbelievable. Heading into the jungles with a caller is a totally unique experience that not many get to see first hand. It is an excitement like no other. Especially when the Duiker are in high density, well managed and play along! We were once again (for the third year in a row) 100% successful on day 1 with our clients. Our average size on the rams we have taken over this period has been over 3 inches. This is exactly why we limit the quota. To ensure and maintain our trophy quality for any client that chooses to book this hunt with us! With regards to this coming season - firstly, please note there are only 3 of these fantastic little antelope on quota with us for 2026 and the first one is already sold. It is on a first come first served basis as the area we hunt these little guys on is strictly regulated by us in its quotas. This hunt is something that will likely tickle the fancy of some of the more travelled safari guys out there! The extra species that we will be hunting will likely determine our accommodation's. The accommodation will either be rustic (but you will always have a hot shower, a warm bed and good conversation to come back to!) or more fancy with many of the amenities that one has come to expect on safari. The preferred method for hunting red duiker will be calling. If a Klipspringer is also on your list we will be in a great area for them as well. Klipspringer will be a combination of calling and spotting. There are of course some excellent free range Kudu and Bushbuck as well.

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. Shot placement is key, if you listen to your PH, and hit them in the right spot, they won’t go far.
