Introduction:
Africa Travel Mart teamed up with several reputable Outfitters in the hunting industry to provide a personalized service to International hunters. Our aim and objective is to distinguish our selves from the rest through dedication and service excellence and to ensure the best possible hunt hunting that South Africa has to offer.
The Outfitters are all registered with The Professional Hunters Association of South Africa and are also Professional hunters themselves, providing the International hunter with the assurance that all is legal and professional. We also firmly believe in the hunting ethics and laws as per PHASA's code of conduct and support fair chase and ethical hunting.
Africatravelmart.com has been commissioned by this Outfitter to market and sell packages on their behalf. We solicit the clients for the Outfitter, build the relationship and assist with the sales process.
Once a client is ready to commit, we introduce clients to the Outfitter. All payments will be made directly to the Outfitter. Africatravelmart.com will assist with after sales service and maintain the relationship with the client prior to, and after the hunt as this is out specialty.
This allows the professional hunters and Outfitters to focus on what they do best, which is hunting, ensuring that the client receives only the best, yet allowing for someone to be available to look after the clients at all times from a customer service point of view. This service is available at no additional cost to clients.
Africatravelmart.com also work with reputable travel agents and will assist clients to arrange their flights if specifically requested. We are notified from time to time about specials as far as flights are concerned and will introduce hunters and observers to the appropriate companies. Outfitters do not assist hunters with the booking of their flights.
Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any questions.
Kind regards

You made us feel more than welcome from the very first day. This is a top rate safari operation, every decision seemed to be made with the clients benefit in mind. The hunt itself exceeded our expectations by 200 percent, it was a true hunting experience. The food was excellent and more than plentiful, the accommodations were more than we expected. Thank you again for the experience of a lifetime. We all hope to see you again soon. " - Blair Family New York USA - May 2003
