Our stay in Mamatau has been simply fantastic and we have felt loved, pampered and entertained by all the lodge staff.
I would like to congratulate you on having such highly trained and professional staff who made us feel at home. Carlos and Saki were simply perfect, always attentive to our wishes. They make a magnificent team and we congratulate you on that. Likewise, Anka and the support team at the lodge were outstanding and looked after us impeccably.
I must congratulate you on the professional team you have at Mamatau and we sincerely hope to repeat the trip soon.
Finally, I hope we can see you and the rest of the Epic Hunting team in Madrid at the hunting fair in March 2026.
Thank you very much again. Best Regards
We had the best adventure at Epic! Everything exceeded out expectations. Carlos and Sakkie were a dream team out on the track hunt. The details of the lodge were seen from breakfast until bedtime. The food was 10/10 with the perfect incorporation of South Africa. The lodge was clean and comfortable- easily became our home away from home. The animals are in excellent condition and very much wild.
If you’re looking for a true African hunting adventure with the right balance of professionalism, excitement, and hospitality, I highly recommend Epic Safari Hunting in South Africa. From the moment you arrive, you’re part of the family—and that feeling comes from the entire team working together to make sure every part of your safari is something you’ll never forget.
Carlos, my Professional Hunter, is one of the best in the business. His experience, steady guidance, and respect for the hunt make every outing meaningful. Out in the bush, you couldn’t ask for a better partner and friend. By his side is Saki, an absolutely incredible tracker whose skills turn every stalk into something special. Watching him work is like seeing a master at his craft.
But what makes Epic truly stand out is that the whole team of PHs brings that same level of expertise, dedication, and passion to their hunts. Every PH I met at camp shared the same professionalism, respect for wildlife, and commitment to ethical hunting. Whether you’re hunting Crocodile, Kudu, Cape buffalo, Oryx, Sable, Klipspringer just to name a few—or just enjoying a walk through the African bush—you’re in excellent hands no matter which PH you’re with.
Back at camp, Andrea and her amazing staff made sure that every day ended in comfort. The food, the hospitality, the care they show for each guest—it all comes together to create a true safari experience, not just a hunt.
Epic Safari Hunting doesn’t just offer hunting, it offers adventure, connection and memories that last a life time and importantly, they did it all while supporting conservation efforts and respecting the wildlife and land that makes Africa so special. For anyone dreaming of the real South African hunting experience, I can say without hesitation: Epic Hunting Safari is the place to go and be sure to ask for Carlos and Saki
Hi Arnold,
I wanted to drop you a quick note and thank you personally along with your Epic team on our best Safari experience to date. We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the trip.
You have a wonderful team, and it seems Pierre is a natural manager not to mention a great PH.
We did re-book and will take two Lions on our next Safari.
Best regards,
Irvin H. Brown
Had an Awesome trip to Epic! Melinda and the staff were amazing! Gerrie, the other PH, and the trackers worked perfection putting us on the animals and tracking even after some poor shots. They went above and beyond to make this truly a trip of a lifetime!
Just returned from an amazing experience with Fransua as our first African PH. He helped us settle in to our 10 day adventure with outstanding service and professionalism. He was extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of the animals we pursued and ensured that we only took those mature specimens that we described at the beginning of our hunt. Fransua oversaw the care of our trophies after the harvest as well as our top notch accommodations while on the hunt. He was more than a PH, he was a hunt planner, coordinator, quality assurance, an overall professional at what he does. Thank you Fransua for helping us have a perfect “hunt of a lifetime”. Or should we say first hunt of many more to come. We are already looking forward to hunting with you again.
This was my very first African safari, and choosing Epic Hunting Safaris was hands down the best decision I could’ve made. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed into a warm, friendly, and trustworthy atmosphere that immediately made me feel at home.
I was able to take my first three of the Big Five, and it was nothing short of incredible. Whether you’re after plains game or dangerous game, this outfitter delivers on every level. The food was phenomenal, the lodging was immaculate, and every single detail was taken care of with care and professionalism.
A special shoutout to Gerrie, our guide- who, after years of planning and communication, has become more than just a guide… he’s a true friend. His knowledge, passion, and respect for the land and animals made this entire experience unforgettable.
I cannot recommend Epic Hunting Safari enough. This is not just a trip-it’s and adventure of a lifetime. I’m already counting down the days until I return next July with the rest of my family to finish my Big Five at this 5-star hunting resort. If you’re considering a safari, look no further.
This is the one.
Great experience! The staff were very professional, friendly and had great personalities. Neels had a way of putting us all at ease while Andrea and her staff catered to all our needs. The food and class with which it was served spoiled us, they set the bar high. The Professional Hunter (PH’s) Louis, Wessel, and Koos made my hunting a dream come true. My Hunt with PH Dion was very exciting. I thoroughly enjoyed sharing this hunting experience with my wife. The whole Epic Hunting Safari staff made us feel more like family than clients. The accommodations and property were breath taking. Thanks for the great memories.
To me going to Africa for a hunt was a dream! I always wanted to go to Africa, the more I heard about it and the more I saw the shows, the greater the desire. Finally here and now gone. I have been to Africa on my dream. It was the most amazing hunt. I would not change a thing. The rooms were way better than I ever imagined. The food was awesome. The PH’s where great, always putting you within range of your animal. The hunt was an once in a lifetime experience. I will return to hunt with Epic Hunting Safari.
I have travelled to three provinces with multiple outfitters and my 2017 buffalo hunt with Epic Hunting Safari was by far the best. The hospitality, food, lodging and PH service was second to none.
