Our Story
MEET HEINRICH
Heinrich van Zyl grew up surrounded by the traditions of hunting, guided by his father and grandfather who sparked his love for the African wilderness. After completing his Professional Hunter course in 2016 and apprenticing in Namibia with a renowned dangerous game outfitter, Heinrich returned to South Africa to begin his PH career. Today, alongside his wife, he proudly represents the third generation of his family dedicated to ethical hunting, conservation, and creating unforgettable safari experiences.
Heinrich’s greatest passion lies in sharing Africa’s wilderness with others. Whether guiding hunters in pursuit of plains game or dangerous game, or hosting guests on photographic safaris, he ensures every experience is personal, ethical, and unforgettable. His dedication to conservation and hospitality means that with Heinrich, you’re not just booking a safari — you’re becoming part of a legacy built on respect for nature and the spirit of true adventure.
