Safari hunts may take place in South African ranch concessions, Namibia-style open country, thick bushveld, savanna, riverine habitat, or dangerous-game areas. The species you choose shapes the terrain and hunt style.

Destination guide
Africa Plains Game and Dangerous Game Safaris
Africa is a diverse guided-safari experience. We will help you choose the destination country, professional hunter, concession, trophy list, observer experience, and export path that fit your plans.
Prime safari timing varies by country and species, but many plains-game trips are planned during cooler, drier months. Dangerous game, CITES-listed species, firearm import, and trophy export require careful outfitter documentation.
We will review PH or guide credentials, daily rates, trophy fees, observer rates, airport meet-and-greet, rifle import or camp-rifle options, dip-and-pack, taxidermy, shipping, gratuities, and medical-evacuation planning.
Plains-game first timers, dangerous-game clients, couples, observers, photo-safari add-ons, and hunters wanting a high-service international experience.
The experience
Three distinct African experiences.
Start with an Eastern Cape safari, a 14-day Botswana dangerous-game experience across approximately 3 million acres, or a Mauritius Rusa deer add-on. Each destination has different firearms, permits, lodging, and trophy-export requirements.
