Africa Outfitter #2.....

Tanzania is by far the premier hunting safari destination in all of Africa. Relax in their luxurious camps while experiencing the ambiance of the East African bush. Explore a bit, and let them show you what they can offer to make your Tanzania hunting safari all you have ever dreamed about.

This Professional Hunter's Tanzania Trophy Expeditions came into existence in 1995, moving operations from South Africa and Zambia. The decision to concentrate all safaris in Tanzania has proven to be quite successful. Tanzania is by far the premier safari destination in all of Africa, and their record speaks for itself.

Since1995, they have helped 100% of their clients achieve their goal of acquiring a Leopard, better than 90% have gotten a Lion, 95% have shot Buffalo, and 73% have harvested an Elephant, with 80% of the Clients having a shooting opportunity at a legal Elephant.

With many trophy animals listed in the SCI Record Book, they are proud to have the #1 East African Kudu, a Top 10 Lion, and another Lion taken in 2004 which they believe, when officially measured, will be another in the Top 10. Other Top 10 entries include Grants Gazelle and Kirk's Dik-Dik. They have numerous Top 20 entries and many more in the Top 50. As proud as they are of these accomplishments, even more important are the memories brought home by those who have hunted with them, whether their goal is a record book trophy or the fulfillment of a dream of hunting in Africa.

In their 10 years hunting in Tanzania they have been fortunate and blessed. Perseverance, dedication and hard work for their clients have made this statement true. They continue to work hard, hunt hard, and access the best areas for their clients to be successful in their hunting goals.
 
With an interest in wildlife since childhood, This professional hunter began his hunting as a child. As a young man he then chose to guide hunters in Colorado for Elk, Deer and Bear from 1975 -1985. Recruited by an Elk hunting client from South Africa, he chose to take his skills and try them out in South Africa in 1986. Hunting both Dangerous and Plains game in South Africa, as a licensed P.H. from 1986-1993, he was persuaded to move on to hunt in Zambia in 1994 and then on to Tanzania in 1995, where he has continued to specialize in Dangerous Game. As noted in the list of Top 10 entries above, he continues to also achieve success with his Plains Game hunts.


This Professional Hunter continually produces trophies of the highest quality. He is dedicated to providing
the discriminating sportsman with a quality safari experience and an unforgettable adventure.
