Serious about wildlife, not so serious about ourselves

Big-game fishing and Big 5 safaris in KwaZulu-Natal, hosted by locals.

What we do

We're a small team from KwaZulu-Natal who know the skippers, the rangers and the back roads personally. We plan trips around fishing, safari and travel across Southern Africa, for small groups, with every detail tailored to you.

Deep-sea fishing

Out past the drop-off the water turns an impossible blue, and something big is hunting too.

The Grander Tour

Four days chasing marlin in the warm Indian Ocean off St Lucia, then an hour inland to track the Big 5 through the Zululand bushveld. We first ran it in January 2026, and it's ready to run again.

Two worlds, one hour

Salt on your skin at noon, red dust on your boots by sundown. Few places on earth give you both in a single day.
