About Golden Badger Safaris
Golden Badger Safaris originated as an idea and opportunity to provide international clients with an opportunity to visit, hunt and fish our beautiful country and continent.
Golden badger safaris were founded in 2024 by three friends and fellow professional hunters. All with the equal amount of passion, and love of hunting and fishing in Africa.
We strive to provide you with an all-round experience of our different cultures in South Africa, hunt different African species and catch different species of fish. We intend to provide an experience not just for the hunter, but also for the family.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide our clients with an honest safari, no matter the activity. We want our clients to feel at home and have fun or their trip. We pride ourselves on trust, honour and integrity.
