Where we operate

At Dries Visser Safaris, we pride ourselves on offering world-class bow hunting and safari experiences across Southern Africa. From the plains of South Africa to the wild frontiers of Zambia and Mozambique, every destination is carefully chosen to deliver adventure, authenticity, and luxury.

South Africa often called “a world in one country”—sits at the southern tip of the African continent and remains one of the most diverse destinations for African hunting safaris. Despite covering only one percent of the Earth’s land surface, it offers world‑famous protected areas like Kruger National Park and nearly 9,000 privately owned game reserves, making it a premier location for bow hunting in South Africa, plains game, and dangerous game.

The landscape is dominated by high plateaus, rolling highveld grasslands, and the iconic bushveld. These habitats support an exceptional variety of species, including kudu, sable, nyala, impala, gemsbok, and Cape buffalo. This biodiversity makes South Africa one of the top destinations for African bow hunting safaris and fair‑chase trophy hunting.

Dries Visser Safaris operates across several prime regions, with our main concession located in western Limpopo near Thabazimbi. This area is widely regarded as the mecca of trophy hunting in South Africa, known for producing exceptional quality animals. The dense Knob Thorn and Leadwood forests create ideal conditions for bow hunting Limpopo, offering close‑range encounters and an authentic bushveld experience.

South Africa also caters exceptionally well to families and mixed groups. Whether your adventure includes bow hunting, plains game, dangerous game, fishing, or photographic safaris, the country offers consistency, high game numbers, and unforgettable scenery.

With Dries Visser Safaris, you’ll experience a South African hunting safari the way it was meant to be—ethical, immersive, and truly memorable.

Zambia is one of Africa’s most sought‑after destinations for dangerous game hunting, offering exceptional opportunities to pursue leopard, lion, buffalo, elephant, and a wide range of plains game. The legendary Luangwa Valley stands at the heart of our operations and is widely regarded as one of the continent’s finest wildlife sanctuaries. Its high concentrations of game and untouched wilderness make it a premier location for leopard hunting safaris and bow hunting in Zambia.

Our hunts take place primarily in the Luangwa Valley, with additional concessions in the Kafue Flats and Bangweulu Swamps. These government‑managed conservation areas and large private ranches provide authentic, fair‑chase hunting conditions ideal for both rifle and bow hunters. The diversity of terrain and species ensures Zambia remains one of the top destinations for African bow hunting safaris.

The hunting season runs from 1 May to 31 December, offering prime conditions for leopard and other dangerous game. Camps are designed in the classic East African safari style, built from natural materials and equipped with comfortable, en‑suite safari tents. Each tent includes hot and cold running water, flush toilets, and quality showers, with some camps offering roof fans or air‑conditioning depending on the location. Guests enjoy fresh linen, excellent meals, soft drinks, and daily laundry service.

All camps are equipped with medical kits and reliable communication systems. As Zambia is a malaria‑risk area, we recommend consulting a travel clinic before departure. Upon arrival, our team will meet you at the nearest airport and assist with transfers to camp. We also handle all firearm import permits and ensure smooth clearance for your safari.

Zambia remains one of Africa’s finest destinations for leopard bow hunting, dangerous game, and true wilderness adventure.

Mozambique is one of Africa’s last true wilderness frontiers, offering an authentic and untouched setting for African hunting safaris. Vast floodplains, dense forests, and remote swamps create ideal habitat for unpressured game, making this region a top destination for buffalo hunting Mozambique, plains game, and true fair‑chase adventure. The raw, wild atmosphere gives hunters a glimpse of Africa as it once was.

Our hunting area lies west of the Zambezi River, bordering the Marromeu National Park and stretching toward the Indian Ocean coastline. This concession supports 21 huntable species — from Livingstone’s suni to Cape buffalo — and includes four of Africa’s Big Five. The mix of swamp and forest terrain provides excellent opportunities for both rifle and bow hunting Mozambique, with high game numbers and challenging conditions.

The main camp is set beneath towering indigenous trees and offers comfortable, insect‑proof log cabins with en‑suite bathrooms, hot running water, and flush toilets. A reed‑and‑thatch lounge, dining area, and traditional lapa create the perfect place to relax after a day in the bush and enjoy the true spirit of Mozambique.

The hunting season runs from April to November, offering eight months of excellent conditions across varied landscapes. Camps are equipped with first‑aid kits, satellite communication, and experienced staff to ensure safety and support throughout your safari.

Mozambique remains one of Africa’s most rewarding destinations for buffalo hunting, plains game, and wilderness‑style bow hunting — a truly unforgettable safari experience.
