Nature has painted a scene of contrasts - apart from the vast areas of small hills and Acacia trees, mountains, waterfalls and natural forests are combined to create a magnificent place where our guests and the hunter feels the rhythm of Africa around him.

As the habitat boasts such a variety, many different animal species are to be found here and quality trophies are in abundance.  Through care and conservation, Engonyameni is securing their existence for the future.

Being in the industry for 25 years, your hosts Danie and Karin van Graan have literally hunted everywhere!  They are very educationally orientated, and combine this with a wonderful and exciting experience for their guests.  With their excellent service, personal touch and interest in each visitor, they have built lasting relationships with interesting people, such us the well-known Jeff Cooper and his family.  Most guests return often and as per their experience, "at Engonyameni your stay here will last a lifetime...".  (Read more about Clients' comments).

Conducting a trophy hunt with Engonyameni Safaris is a lifetime experience for any dedicated hunter.

Danie has a natural ability to educate visitors.  He teaches more about:

• the various species, habitats and judging of trophies
• the different tribes, their cultures and how to communicate with them
• the art of shooting, tactical hunting and tracking

"A professional hunter is first and foremost a people person who uses his skills and knowledge of the wilderness in such a way that others may benefit from him.  He is the catalyst who enables the client to obtain his trophy in such a manner which is enjoyable and fulfilling and within the physical prowess of the hunter. 

When you share danger, joy, appetite and hunger, sunrise and sunset,... then you know one another.  Friendships are born of this knowledge which would not have been possible other than in the wild."
                           Don Lindsay

Hunting is conducted primarily on Engonyameni concessions which consists of private land, owned by our family and other owners, which cover an area of approximately 20 000 acres.  However, hunting is conducted throughout the country, as well as in other African countries, depending on the habitat of the trophies.
