Welcome to McDonald Safaris
With our hunting areas in South Africa, Botswana, Mozambique and Tanzania, we are in a unique position to offer our clientele a wide variety of game species in spectacular hunting locations. A classic hunting safari with us is an experience that you will never ever forget.

We are obsessed with good service. Our personal attention with emphasis on detail has become somewhat of hallmark envied by many competing outfitters in an increasingly competitive industry. Our experience and excellent references spanning over two generations sets us apart from other outfitters. Couple that with quality trophies and our high standard in ethics and it soon becomes apparent why.

Conservation and hunting are closely related and we advocate the intelligent utilization of wildlife and natural resources. The motto "Hunters pay for conservation" is evident in everything that we do.

Words simply fail to capture the excitement and thrill of taking down your first Cape Buffalo. The only way to really experience it is to take the next step and actually go and do it yourself. So what are you waiting for? Why not contact us for more information? We'd love to hear from you, even if just for a friendly chat. We are passionate about what we do and are always available to answer any questions you may have. Our e-mail link is at the top right side of the page and our telephone number is on the contact us page so send us an email or give us a call and take the first step to your unforgettable African safari.

When you book your safari we will make sure you receive all the necessary documentation for your hunting trip, including rifle import permits for the country that you will be hunting in. If given enough time we will even arrange these permits to be issued ahead of time. We will also arrange the necessary charter flights for remote hunting locations.
