More than 50 years of operating excellence.

BG Hunting Safaris was founded in the 1970s by Bertie Guillaume, who was also a founding member of PHASA, the Professional Hunters Association of South Africa.

Bertie was a pioneer in the hunting industry in Southern Africa.

Three generations of exploring Africa and making lifelong friends.

Bertie's son, Bertus, took over the hunting business in the 1990s, continuing his Father's traditions while expanding the client base.

Today, both of Bertus's sons are involved in the business, making this an outfit built on family values, a passion for excellence and integrity.

“PHASA was formed in 1978 by a group of pioneering men — men who became icons in the fields of both hunting and conservation: ‘Uncle Stevie’ Smith, Basie Maartens, Coenraad Vermaak, Norman Deane, Nico van Rooyen, Bill Daly, Gary Kelly, and Bertie Guillaume, to name but a few.

The PHASA founders were all true visionaries, firm in their belief that hunting and the trophy hunting industry, in particular, has a significant role to play in conservation in South Africa. Today, PHASA is the largest association of its kind in the world, with more than 3000 members.”
