Waidmannsheil Safaris

Waidmannsheil = Good Hunting

Waidmannsheil safaris is a family operated hunting outfitter in South Africa where every hunter will leave as a friend. We don’t only accommodate hunters but as well as their partners that 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 hunt on 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.

More about the Waidmannsheil team

Gerhard Vermaak

The Waimannsheil Team South Africa was started by our professional hunter/outfitter Gerhard Vermaak after he decided he wants to give everyone in the world the opportunity to experience the South African bush. Gerhard 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 managed 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.
