Burchell-Wolf Safaris

The story of Scot Burchell and Katie Wolf begins back in 2019 when Katie joined Sporting Classics on a safari in South Africa. It was underneath the star cluttered sky along side the roaring fire that the African professional hunter and the American writer fell in love. After surviving two years of long distance, Katie graduated with an English degree from the University of Montana and finally moved to Namibia with the love of her life. There, Scot and Katie began pursuing their goal of creating their own safari operation, thus became Burchell-Wolf Safaris.

Scot and Katie’s personal passion for hunting is one of the many things that makes Burchell-Wolf Safaris unique. They do not view their operation as a career, but rather as their dream. BWS understands how much more there is to going on safari than just the taking of beautiful trophies. They understand a safari is made up of experiences. The tasting of different foods, the immersion into different cultures, the incredible people met along the way, the nights in camp by the fire telling stories, and the enjoyment of watching show stopping sunrises and sunsets.As hunters themselves, Scot and Katie understand the enjoyment that comes with a challenge when hunting.

This is why BWS operates off a 30,000 acre property (50 square miles) with only a single boundary fence, no internal fencing. They believe fare chase is important for ethical hunting. BWS does not want to bind their clients to a package. Rather, they simply charge a day fee and allow clients to choose animals from their price list. This way, clients do not have to feel the pressure of trying to hunt a number of specific animals during their safari, but rather, can decide as the opportunities are presented.
