Grand Safari: Africa, the way it should be

Tailor-made hunting safaris across South Africa, Tanzania, Cameroon and France, guided by Christophe Beau and his team of professional hunters.

Who we are

01

Professional hunters

Every guide is a qualified big-game professional hunter with years of experience guiding foreign hunters. Rifle, bow, handgun or black powder, we conduct your safari in accordance with the laws of the country where you hunt.

02

Everything handled

Firearm import permits, hunting licences, meet-and-greet at the airport, field preparation of your trophies and their journey home. You just enjoy hunting. We take care of the rest.

03

Built around you

Hunting areas and accommodation vary with your wishes and the game you want. One-on-one, two-on-one, observers and families are all welcome.

Destinations

From the Eastern Cape to the Selous, and from Cameroon’s savannah to the French Alps, we run our own safaris with the same meticulous planning and the same ethic. Only the accommodation and hunting areas vary.

Meet the founder

Christophe Beau was born in France, served in the French marine infantry in Senegal, and has lived and hunted in Africa ever since, settling in South Africa in 1994. He knows exactly what a dedicated hunter expects, and has built Grand Safari around meticulous planning and a firm ethic.

He still guides a few safaris himself each season, mainly for dangerous game, and makes sure everything runs smoothly in every Grand Safari camp and lodge.

How it works

You bring the rifle and the dream. We bring more than thirty years in the bush, and make sure nothing gets in the way.
  1. 1

    Tell us your dream

    Species, season, who is coming. A hunter, a couple, a family with children, or a party of twelve. Tell us what you want and we listen.

  2. 2

    We shape the safari

    We choose the concession, the dates and the programme, then send you a tailored itinerary and quote. Your safari is confirmed with a deposit.

  3. 3

    Paperwork, handled

    We prepare your firearm import permits and hunting licences, and our agent meets you at the airport to clear your guns through customs.

  4. 4

    The hunt

    Your own professional hunter, trackers and 4×4, with every logistical detail taken care of. Observers share the day from the comfort of the vehicle.

  5. 5

    Trophies, taken care of

    Field preparation by our team, then taxidermy in East London or shipping to the taxidermist of your choice, with every export document in order.
