Tom Dreyer Safaris

“As an expert shot and hunter of some experience, he was more than justified in seeing Africa on a hunting safari instead of merely as a tourist. His hopes were not so much to pile up trophies as to participate genuinely in the African way of life. A hunter on a hunting trip can better achieve that than a tourist with four cameras.” – Peter Beard, End of the Game
Tom Dreyer Safaris features veteran hunters Tom Dreyer and Tom Jr, exploring the newly established Mubambe Conservancy in northwestern Zambia. The Dreyers, esteemed figures in Southern Africa, are venturing into this new Zambian area. The venture has involved immense effort and financial investment, including the development of wilderness areas, construction of roads and bridges, and establishment of camp facilities. The region shows promise for exceptional sitatunga and red lechwe hunting opportunities. It also presents good prospects for encountering various big cats and buffalo, as well as sightings of significant sable bulls. The area is favorable for roan hunting, making it a promising addition to the renowned Kafue region, with the project being carried out in collaboration with local Zambians.
Zambia Accommodations
Accommodation consists of a luxury tented camp with an open plan dining room, common area and bar. Comfortable beds ensure that you wake up refreshed and the en-suite bathrooms have hot and cold running water. Mouth-watering meals prepared by our local chef are a welcoming sight after a long day in the bush.
To ensure that you enjoy your safari to the fullest you will be requested to fill in a dietary and general information sheet prior to your arrival to enable us, as far as practically possible, to cater for your specific needs.
Camp staff clean the accommodations daily and laundry is done every second day.
Riverside Accommodation
Tom Dreyer Safaris has sole hunting rights and shared hunting rights on various concessions throughout the whole of South Africa. Even though we are based in the Limpopo province where we conduct most of our plains game safaris we also plan and arrange tailor-made safaris for our clients in different areas for their specific trophies.
All the plains game species native to the Limpopo region can be found on the different concessions we hunt and also a couple of introduced species like Springbuck, Roan, Sable, Gemsbuck and Buffalo. Deep red sand and a healthy variety of big tree species like Acacia, Combretum, Marula, Mopane and many more will be your view every day with a beautiful sunset and sunrise over the African bush.
All the lodges are either luxury tents or brick chalets. We end off our days by sitting around an open fire or “boma” with a drink in hand and sharing the day’s stories before being served the best cuisine which is paired with award-winning wines.
