Our story
JWK Safaris was founded by hunters with a passion for wildlife, conservation, and the African wilderness. That same passion drives us today. We know what makes a safari great — because we’ve lived it, guided it, and hunted it ourselves.
Where we hunt
Zimbabwe –
Africa’s Premier Big Game Destination
We proudly offer hunts in Zimbabwe, which we believe to be one of Africa’s finest destinations for free-range, fair-chase big game hunting. Not only are all of our concessions completely unfenced, but they also connect to adjoining national parks, creating a truly wild and authentic safari experience. Furthermore, we work in close partnership with experienced Zimbabwean operators and professional hunters who form part of our trusted consortium. This collaboration ensures that our clients enjoy access to some of the most sought-after hunting areas for elephant, lion, buffalo, leopard, and more. With over 60 big game hunters choosing Zimbabwe each year, it continues to stand out as one of the most exciting and rewarding destinations for an unfenced African safari adventure.
Botswana –
Luxury, Safety
& Superb Plains Game
Botswana is widely recognized as one of Africa’s premier destinations for dangerous game hunting. With its expansive wilderness areas and strictly controlled hunting concessions, the country offers hunters a rare opportunity to pursue elephant, buffalo, and other big game in some of the most pristine habitats on the continent. Moreover, Botswana’s commitment to sustainable wildlife management ensures that every safari contributes to conservation and community development. As a result, hunters can expect not only a thrilling and authentic experience but also the knowledge that their safari supports the future of Botswana’s wildlife and people.
South Africa –
Family-Friendly & Fair-Chase Hunting
South Africa offers an exceptional hunting experience, combining world-class infrastructure with vast and diverse landscapes. Not only does the country provide excellent opportunities for both plains game and dangerous game hunting, but it also ensures a high standard of accommodation and service throughout your safari. In addition, South Africa’s rich biodiversity allows hunters to pursue a wide variety of species, making it an ideal destination for both first-time and seasoned hunters. Because of its accessibility and well-managed concessions, South Africa continues to attract hunters from around the world who are seeking an unforgettable African safari adventure.
Our Commitment to You
JWK Safaris is built on passion, integrity, and decades of first-hand hunting experience. From the very beginning, we have been fully committed to ethical, fair-chase hunting and the sustainable use of Africa’s diverse wildlife. Every safari we offer takes place on carefully selected concessions that our team has personally guided or inspected, ensuring the highest quality standards. Furthermore, we work exclusively with licensed and registered outfitters, as well as professional hunters, many of whom guide alongside us. Our goal is clear: to provide exceptional value while maintaining uncompromising standards of excellence. Quite simply, we only recommend and sell the kind of hunts we would choose for ourselves—because we believe our clients deserve nothing less.
