OUR HISTORY
where each corner of our lodge is infused with tales and memories
The story of how it all began…
Welcome to Stanley Pieterse Safaris, a family-run hunting company where our history is as rich and diverse as the African plains we call home. Where traditions and hospitality are at the heart of everything we do. For more than 20 years our concession has been a place where memories are made and where guests become family.
In the year 2000, Stanley’s father purchased a farm with nothing but a watering hole and a stunning view of the surrounding hills. It was this picturesque setting that inspired the creation of our lodge, initially intended as a family retreat for Stanley, his parents, and his siblings.
The original lodge was built with a vision of 5 rooms, carefully designed to accommodate the needs of the Pieterse family. As the years passed, however, the lodge evolved to welcome not only local hunters but clients from around the globe. With this growth came the need for expansion, as new rooms were added to cater to larger groups of guests.
Despite the changes and enhancements over the years, we have remained true to our roots, keeping the lodge’s essence and history alive where family traditions are at the heart of our lodge. Each corner of our lodge is infused with tales and memories, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all our visitors.
Built from the ground up, brick-by-brick, our concession is a testament to our commitment to providing an unforgettable experience for hunters from around the world. When you choose us, you aren’t just booking another African hunting Safari camp – you’re becoming part of our family.
Join us for an adventure like no other, where you will be welcomed with open arms and treated with the same warmth and respect that has been at the core of our family traditions for years.
Come and experience the warmth and hospitality that sets us apart from the rest.
At Stanley Pieterse Safaris, our past is celebrated, our present is vibrant, and our future is filled with the promise of unforgettable experiences in the heart of the African wilderness.
