More about us
Our company was established in 1998 and operates in 1 territory.
- Being a sixth generation South African rancher who started hunting at a young age, having been introduced to it by my grandfather. I have been hunting professionally since 1996 and have gained vast experience in both plains and dangerous game. I have hunted hunted in South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Cameroon.
- With experienced and seasoned professional hunters, you the hunter, are assured of a great safari. Our aim is to provide each and every hunter with an ethical, fair chase hunt that will not only provide a challenge but also great trophies and memories and experiences “For a Lifetime”.
- We are also happy to announce our merger with good friend and well known professional hunter and outfitter Andrew Harvey of “Andrew Harvey Safaris”. Andrew and his wife Mandy will certainly bring much expertise to the benefit of our clients.

Great hunt in the Eastern Cape
Russ is an honest, hard working outfitter that does his best to make the hunt successful. He has access to plenty of properties that allow him to hunt everything available in the Eastern Cape. I'm looking forward to hunting with Russ again on his Mozambique concession.
International airline travel always getting more complicated.
Boddington on Russell Lovemore
Great guy, excellent PH, wonderful family. Access to numerous concessions in close proximity, thus able to offer a full range of Eastern Cape species without undue travel. Superb outfit, excellent value!
4 out of 5 trips to Africa have been with Safari Trails
They have been in business for years. The quality of the game, food and accommodations are always great. The staff is top notch. I highly recommend.
