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
Another wonderful Bushpig season has come to an end, but an exciting new one is already beginning! Our passion for these elusive animals runs deep, and we never tire of the challenge they offer. The Bushpig may be one of Africa’s lesser-known species, but make no mistake, it will test your skill and patience like few other hunts can.
Known as the “poor man’s leopard hunt,” this nickname wasn’t given - it was earned. Hunting a Bushpig is truly one of the finest trophies you can claim on African soil, and anyone who’s experienced the thrill of outsmarting these clever creatures will understand the passion (and the addiction) that comes with it.
At Bayly Sippel Safaris, we take our Bushpig hunting seriously and are dedicated to giving every client the absolute best chance of success. We use two proven methods to hunt these incredible animals:
Method One: Hunting over agricultural lands and fields using night vision and thermal optics. This is an action-packed, high-adrenaline experience — and a great way to see Bushpig hunting in a whole new light (pun intended!).
Method Two: Baiting the pigs and getting them into a routine. There’s nothing worse than sitting in a blind for seven nights, halfway across the world, hoping for a chance encounter — which is why we do things differently. We don’t just start baiting a week before your hunt… we never stop. Our sites are active year-round, ensuring consistency, quality, and the best possible opportunity for a successful hunt.
And from what we’re seeing lately, there’s certainly no shortage of pigs in our area!

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.Payment
