Welcome to Infinito Safaris

Information

What to expect?

For the first time visitor, undertaking a safari to Africa seems like a daunting prospect. Relax! Remember, we are here to make it your dream holiday, and will take care of EVERYTHING. Just phone your travel agent or go on the internet and book that flight!

We take your safety and leisure, as our main priority, from the day you book, until the day you receive your trophies back at home.

A full itinerary will be provided bfore your deposit is paid. Take a few minutes to read through the following and then get your diary to book!

We steer clear of any reported, troubled areas.

Remember that you are on Safari, in the middle of the bush, and won’t get in contact with a lot of people! All staff is first aid trained, and we have a helicopter on standby for serious injuries (extra cost do apply in such an unfortunate eventuality)

Communication
Most Safari areas have cell phone reception. We are also in the position to provide you with internet, and landline access, if you REALY have to get into contact with the outside world.

Transporting your bow:
In order for you to bring your bow into South Africa, no paperwork is required. It is just part of luggage and treated as such.

Pre-arrival:
We correspond with you after you booked your Safari to find out:

What your medical conditions/requirements are
What your requirements for the hunt are (species/fitness/etc)
What your dietary preferences and needs are
Prices and contracts, and loads more.

The more info you give us, the better we are equipped to plan your dream trip.

All drivers are older than 25 years of age.
The drive is approx. 3.5 hours from Johannesburg International airport to our main Safari area.

All camps have swimming pools and bar areas.

The Hunt:
You and your friend(s)/partner/spouse will always have the full personal attention and cooperation of your own Professional Hunter.

All animals hunted are treated to taxidermist specifications to ensure a top quality trophy.
All the other parts of the animal will be utilized to its full potential, commercially or as part of welfare projects.
Nothing goes to waste. We are firm believers in sustainable use of the natural resources.
Only ethical, fair chase, hunting methods are used.

We are professionals at what we do, and will give you the best advice and information, to help make your Safari a big success, and dream come true.

The Taxidermist:
We will also take you to visit the other very important person on your Safari, the Taxidermist.

This is the artist that will make your memory a reality when you look at your trophies, months after you are back in the real world. We usually spend a couple of hours here, so that clients can see other trophies, and the way they are mounted. Prices are discussed, procedures explained, and monies paid. Mounted trophies take 8-12 months to reach their end destination. They also do dipping, packing and shipping, if you have your own taxidermist abroad.

Last day:
On the return day we take you back to the airport, and make sure that you and your luggage are safely checked in.

Post-Safari:

We correspond with you to make sure you arrived in good health.
We follow up on the taxidermist and keep you posted on the progress of your trophies, and ultimately their safe arrival at your address.
We will then, hopefully, take your booking for your next Safari.
