Hunting Safaris in South Africa

Let us take you on one of our Classic African Safaris. Registered Professional Hunter and Outfitter Dr. Dirk Schmidt and his team of specialized guides will be your hosts during your African getaway.

Our well equipped camps and selected hunting concessions are situated throughout South Africa - from the wind swept Eastern Cape and Griqua Land, the legendary Bushveld, to the lush hills and forests of Kwa Zulu Natal. This enables us to offer a wide variety of game species available in South Africa and excellent trophy selection.

The hunter will be accompanied at all times by a qualified and licensed professional hunter. Well-trained camp staff, including trackers, skinners, cooks and general camp assistants are always at hand. We endeavor to cater to all our clients’ personal needs to ensure a memorable African experience. Languages spoken are English, German and Afrikaans. All trophies are prepared by skinners under careful supervision. The mounting of trophies can be arranged by professional taxidermists who, with expert craftsmanship will rekindle your African memories in your trophy den.

Rifles and ammunition can be made available at a minimal fee, for travelers who wish to hunt at short notice, during a business or holiday trip (caliber’s available include .270 WM, .300 H&H Mag, .375 H&H Mag, 416 Rigby, 12 Bore shotgun).

“Buhala Safaris and Dr. Dirk Schmidt gave me the safari of a lifetime. Dirk goes that extra mile to ensure that everyone has the ultimate experience. Not only is Dirk an excellent PH, but he makes you feel like a friend he has known for years. I enjoyed the experience so much that I have returned several times. If you are coming on a hunt in Africa I recommend Buhala Safaris all the way….” Dennis Fritchman 2008
