Kiley - Owner Operator »
Kiley's passion truly is Africa. This started with her  first trip to Africa more than 18 years ago. From her first step in Africa, she knew she would be back. Kiley grew up in a long-time huntingfishing and outdoorsy familyKiley has had the opportunity to visit more hunting camps than the average bear--or kudu in this scenario. She feels this is a big advantage to know what their clients are looking for during their safari in Africa.

Francois - Professional Hunter »
As a kid he was always fascinated with nature. He is grateful to have grown up in the outdoors, always fishing or hunting. He remembers his first air gun, ambushing birds, the big step towards a .22, and then when he got his first buck.

Becoming a PH has always been his dream; hunting with his dad during the school break was what he lived for. After high school, he went to university and played first division rugby for a couple of years, but realized he had to live his dream and make my living from hunting.

He completed the professional hunter course in 2005 and freelanced as a PH for a few outfitters until he met Kiley and Chris of Africa Sport Hunting Safaris.

They helped him realize his dream of being a full-time professional hunter. If you would like to realize your dream of hunting in Africa, come and enjoy an ethical and successful hunt with us at Africa Sport Hunting Safaris.
      

David - Professional Hunter »
David was born and grew up in a mining community in an area a couple hundred kilometers west of Johannesburg, previously known as the Western Transvaal. For as far as he can remember he wanted to become a game ranger, although he is unsure how he ever got that notion growing up in the midst of such an industrialized community.

Once he had completed his school career and finished a two-year compulsory military service, he completed the examinations required by the Nature Conservation authority to qualify as a professional hunter. He started out hunting for other hunting outfitters, hunting different areas all over Southern Africa, thereby gaining experience to hunt all the different species, dangerous and nondangerous, that Southern Africa has to offer.

Since 1988, other than a short period he spent managing a game ranch for an American landowner, he has been a full-time professional hunter. He holds an unrestricted PH license for all the provinces in South Africa.
