In researching hunting options for my dad and I to hunt in South Africa for our first African Safari, I looked at several companies. It was a lengthy process, but a few thing set Victor and Karoo Wild Safaris apart. First, I noticed how many repeat customers they had. Also, they catered to small gro...

Karoo Wild Safaris, a true gem. Simply put one of the bests hunts of any kind I ever been lucky enough to experience.

Hunting at Karoo Wild Safaris is first rate. It is walk and stalk at its best. Some of the stalks can be demanding because of the terrain and a level of fitness is required.
