GENERAL INFORMATION
Owned and operated by Tollie and Karen Jordaan, Tollie’s African Safaris is a fully integrated family business with Tollie being the fifth generation on the property. Hunting has been a way of life for the Jordaan family for generations. Tollie’s father taught him to hunt when he was very young.
His outlook on life has been influenced to a great extent by the surroundings in which he lives. He believes that life is what you make of it and that God put him on the ranch for a reason—to carry on the true values of his family’s heritage, to raise a wonderful family and to wake up every morning to thank God for the wonder and beauty he sees every day. He loves his job. He loves to be in the great outdoors and share this wonder with others. And he has three of the most wonderful children in the world.
He lists the fabulous people he has an opportunity to meet and the friendships that develop as one of the greatest assets of his business. His biggest goal is to make each and every hunt the most memorable experience that anyone has ever had.
The quality of service offered by Tollie, Karen, professional hunters and staff are outstanding. Attention to detail and personal service will remain our number one priority. The commitment to service and professionalism offered by the team is second to none. The caping and trophy handling skills, amongst others, are excellent.
Tollie’s African Safaris have an extremely high regard for the ethics of hunting and take the management of the ranches very seriously. The wildlife are continually monitored to ensure that their quality and quantity will be maintained at the highest standard for hunters. An emphasis is placed on conservation and everything possible is done to maintain the fine balance existing between flora and fauna within such a pristine ecosystem.
We do the bulk of our hunting on our own ranches that total in excess of 60 000 acres. We also hunt other ranches (in excess of 120 000 acres) to ensure the best quality trophies for you our client.
Hunters can use a bow, rifle or muzzleloader. It’s your choice but rest assured that the experience of the hunt will be memorable. We are confident that hunters will have the ability to obtain only mature trophy class animals.
Tollie’s African Safaris have expanded and recently acquired an additional farm called Buffelsfontein, comprising 7000 acres of land, a fantastic lodge, beautiful waterfall and plenty of Nyala. The decision to acquire the additional land came as a result of the large demand for Nyala and the fact that our business has grown from strength to strength. The area’s natural vegetation is well suited to habitation of Impala, Springbuck, Blesbuck, Zebra, Bushbuck, Duiker and Steenbuck, but most particularly that of Nyala – in fact it is a Nyala paradise.
Should anyone be looking for a fantastic Nyala, then look no further – Tollies' African Safaris is the place.
