About Kiwi Safaris

Kiwi Safaris is one of New Zealand’s leading outfitters. We are based in the beautiful province of South Canturbury the rural heart of the South Island of New Zealand.  Kiwi Safaris has over 20 seasons in operation, and was originally formed by Mike Freeman (runner up at SCI Reno for the International Professional Hunter of the Year in 2004 and 2005) in 1988. 

100% New Zealand Owned and operated

When you visit New Zealand we think you deserve a genuine Kiwi experience.  Kiwi Safaris is 100% New Zealand owned and operated and we believe this is important in delivering the true Kiwi hospitality, local expertise and genuine warmth you expect.

The Experience of a Lifetime

At Kiwi Safaris, we understand that it’s as much about the experience as the trophy. We hunt a wide variety of properties in the South and North Islands of New Zealand and have magnificent trophies, and we also have the other things that are so important:

• Top quality lodgings in magnificent locations mean you can rest up for another day on the hill in comfort.  We have a number of partners, and can provide accommodation close to every hunt, whether it’s South or North Island.
• Our team of guides is as good as you’ll find anywhere.  Most have been with us for years – but we don’t rest on their laurels.  An annual training program ensures performance doesn’t slip.  One of our guides will pick you up from the airport, and until the time you depart you’ll become part of our Kiwi family.
• We offer the very best in free range hunting and estate hunting on our exclusive private estates, where outstanding record trophies are regularly taken.
•  We also offer a wide range of alternative activities - so your partner can have a ball, even if they don’t hunt themselves.

But don’t just take our word for it.  We’re proud of what we do and happy to show you what our clients say about us.  If you wish, you can even call one of our clients for a personal reference, and contact details can be found here.

At Kiwi Safaris our objective is simple – to provide you with the best possible New Zealand hunting experience, and do it better than anyone else.  So join us for the hunt of a lifetime down under!
