    About Game Hunting Safaris

    Chronicles

    Every successful African Hunting Safari begins long before the first flight is booked or the rifle is packed. Choosing the right destination, comparing outfitters, understanding realistic safari costs and preparing for the unique challenges of Big Game Hunting all require careful research. For international hunters investing significant time and money into an African safari, making informed decisions before leaving home is often the difference between a good hunt and one remembered for a lifetime.

    That belief has shaped Game Hunting Safaris from the very beginning. We believe hunters deserve more than a simple booking platform, they deserve accurate information, honest advice and access to carefully selected outfitters who operate professionally, ethically and within Africa's wildlife management regulations. Every hunt listing, destination guide, species resource and planning article on our website is designed to help hunters research with confidence, compare their options objectively and choose the African hunting adventure that best matches their goals.

    How Game Hunting Safaris Began

    The idea for Game Hunting Safaris was born while Tamlyn and I were on a Crocodile Hunting in Mozambique safari. By then, we had already travelled to Africa on several hunting adventures, including a Namibia Hunting Safari, and had experienced both excellent outfitters and the challenges that can arise when planning an international hunt.

    Months of research, arranging travel, organising firearm permits and coordinating with booking agents had shown us that the hunting itself was often only part of the overall safari experience. While the outfitters we hunted with were knowledgeable and professional in the field, communication before arrival was not always what we had expected. Important information often had to be requested rather than provided, travel arrangements could be confusing, and there was little reassurance that everything was in place before we boarded the aircraft.

    Those experiences reinforced an important lesson. A world-class hunting safari begins long before the first spoor is followed or the first shot is fired. Clear communication, honest advice and careful planning are every bit as important as the quality of the hunting itself. It was that realisation, more than anything else, that laid the foundation for what would eventually become Game Hunting Safaris.

    A Different Vision

    The defining moment came several days into the safari when, by coincidence, the booking agent arrived to hunt his own crocodile. After discussing a few ideas on how the overall client experience could be improved, I was told that customer service simply was not a priority because the business was too busy booking hunts.

    That conversation stayed with me long after the safari ended. It highlighted something we believed could be done differently. Hunters invest years of planning and considerable financial commitment before travelling to Africa, and they deserve clear communication, honest advice and professional support from the first enquiry through to the day they return home.

    That evening, sitting around the campfire overlooking Lake Cahora Bassa, the foundations of Game Hunting Safaris were laid. Our goal was never simply to help hunters book a safari, but to create a platform that makes researching, comparing and planning African hunting adventures easier, more transparent and more rewarding for hunters around the world.

    As for the safari itself, Tamlyn still enjoys reminding me that her 15.1-foot Nile crocodile measured slightly longer than the booking agent's. Around an African campfire, some friendly competition never hurts.

    Our Mission

    Game Hunting Safaris was created to make planning an African hunting safari simpler, more transparent and more rewarding for international hunters. We work with carefully selected outfitters across Southern and East Africa, helping hunters compare destinations, species, hunting methods, safari styles and outfitters before making one of the biggest hunting decisions of their lives.

    Whether the goal is a classic plains game safari, pursuing one of Africa's legendary Big Five Hunting species or planning a specialised dangerous game expedition, we believe every hunter deserves honest advice, clear communication and professional service from the first enquiry through to returning home with unforgettable memories. 

    Why Hunters Choose Game Hunting Safaris

    Planning an African safari involves far more than simply choosing an outfitter. Hunters compare countries, hunting seasons, travel logistics, trophy quality, daily rates, trophy fees and accommodation before making a final decision. Just as importantly, they want confidence that deposits are handled securely and that they are dealing with reputable professionals before making a significant financial commitment.

    We built Game Hunting Safaris to make that research easier by bringing professionally guided safaris from across Africa together in one place. From comparing destinations and species to understanding African Hunting Safari Prices and learning about our African Hunting Safari Payments & Escrow Protection, our goal is to provide practical information that helps hunters book with confidence. 

    Why We Continue to Invest in the Platform

    Planning an African hunting safari has changed dramatically over the past decade. Today's international hunters no longer rely solely on hunting conventions or magazine advertisements when choosing an outfitter. Instead, they spend months researching destinations, comparing species, evaluating safari prices and reading independent resources before making one of the biggest hunting investments of their lives.

    At Game Hunting Safaris, we believe that process should be as transparent and informative as possible. That is why we continue to invest in building one of Africa's most comprehensive hunting resources, combining detailed safari listings, destination guides, species information, travel advice and planning tools that help hunters make informed decisions with confidence.

    Every outfitter featured on our platform is carefully selected and evaluated before being introduced to our international clients. While no hunt can ever guarantee success, hunters should always be able to expect professionalism, honesty and ethical conduct from the people guiding it. That is why we believe every hunter deserves realistic expectations, transparent communication and access to reputable professionals who are genuinely committed to conservation and outstanding client service.

    The future of the hunting industry is increasingly digital, allowing hunters from the United States, Canada and around the world to compare destinations, communicate directly with trusted outfitters and plan their safaris long before stepping onto African soil. Our commitment is to continue expanding the information available on Game Hunting Safaris so hunters can research with confidence, compare options objectively and book the African hunting adventure that best suits their goals.  

    The African hunting industry continues to evolve, and so do the expectations of today's international hunters. Accurate information, transparent pricing, ethical hunting practices and conservation have become just as important as trophy quality itself. Our commitment is to continue expanding Game Hunting Safaris into a trusted resource where hunters can confidently research destinations, compare opportunities and plan safaris knowing the information is built on real hunting experience rather than marketing alone.
