More about us
Our company was established in 2014 and operates in 1 territory.
- Waidmannsheil = Good Hunting
- We are a family-operated hunting outfitter in South Africa where every hunter will leave as a friend. We don’t only accommodate hunters but also their partners who do not hunt.
- For the non-hunters we offer a lot of exceptional day trips and sightseeing tours of South Africa from Kruger to Cape Town we have you covered. We are a family-friendly hunting destination that hunts over 19,000 acres, and we are conveniently located an hour and a half drive away from JHB International Airport.
- With our convenient location, we can offer thick bush hunting like in the Limpopo province, as well as open plains hunting like in the Free State province of South Africa. That allows us to offer exceptional trophies of almost all plains game species and buffalo to hunt.
- We are able to give you a wide variety of game species in one location without any travel time.
- Gerhard decided he wanted to give everyone in the world the opportunity to experience the South African bush. He then decided on the name Waidmannsheil which is a German term meaning good hunting and that is exactly what you will get if you book your hunting safari with us.
- So, a little more about Gerhard he started working as a PH in 2014 while he was studying game ranch management. After his studies, he started managing wildlife properties in the Thabazimbi in Limpopo. Then moved to the rust de winter area in Gauteng to manage wildlife properties there while he was conducting hunts on the properties. After his 3 years as a professional hunter, he registered to become a hunting outfitter.
- Juanri Steyn is the one behind your successful safari, without someone like Juanri, our team operation would not have existed as she is the first one up in the mornings and the last one to bed. From all the meals you eat to the permit paperwork to be done, you can count on her to have it all in place so that you can just enjoy your safari without any stress. She will look after all the hunter's and non-hunters' needs.
- She is the one planning the itinerary for the non-hunters to give the best experiences in South Africa.
