We pride ourselves on how often our traveling hunters return
We have all heard the saying before, “many things bite in Africa, but nothing as hard as the safari bug.” Once you come once, we know you will be back. Many times.
“Having hunted with Craig on 5 separate occasions over the last 12 years, I would like to share my experience. Maartens Safaris handles every detail of the trip. The communication, beginning with itinerary planning is second to none and the process is smooth. I have stayed at 5 different camps, each better than the one prior. Accommodations are customized to the clients needs and desires. As a PH, Craig is highly respected in the community and provides clients with quality trophies, a task that is often under appreciated. The food is one of the highlights of any trip with Craig, exceptional and tailored to your requests. Transportation is always smooth and seamless. Seasoned trackers are personally chosen by Craig and his partner Ben and they are incredibly talented and essential to the outfit.”

I have had the pleasure of hunting with Maartens Safaris since 2004. Every safari is somehow always bettor than the last. Each safari is customized to your needs and no detail is overlooked. Lodging and meals are always 5 star and never disappoint. Craig is a true professional hunter whose expertise and patience in the field are second to none. He goes above and beyond to ensure you obtain the trophy’s you are hunting. I also had the opportunity to hunt with Ben who is also the utmost professional. Both, use every bit of their skills to not only get you into the best position to take a trophy but also to keep the client as calm as possible throughout the process. I would never hesitate to recommend Maartens Safaris for your first or next African Safari.

“I first met Craig in the mid 90’s on one of my first Safari’s in Botswana. My family and Craig’s family share a long history of hunting dating back to South West Africa with his father Basie. From that point on Craig and I not only forged a hunting bond, but a lifelong friendship. Craig is one of the most professional and ethical PH’s I have had the pleasure to hunt with on numerous occasions. He takes great pride and passion in his work in which you see it in the smallest of details. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for an amazing hunting adventure in Africa to experience it with Craig Maartens.”
