Our company was established in 1990 and operates in 3 territories.

I am a hands-on business and committed to personal service. I will meet you at the airport and guide you through the formalities, and then drive or fly you to the camp.
After the safari I will see you safely checked through to your final destination on your homeward journey.
I personally attend to the day to day running and maintenance of the camps and the hunting equipment.
I am committed to honesty – You will never be sold an animal or trophy size which does not exist on the property.
I am committed to ethical fair chase hunting.
