Bushmoon Safaris is owned and run by Nicky and Chantel Janse Van Rensburg. This couple have been involved in hosting hunting clients and hospitality industry for the past 3 decades, with clients from across the globe.
It was time to set up their own operation with their decades of experience and we invite you to experience our hospitality.
Nicky grew up hunting with his father across Zimbabwe and Botswana. As a 5-year-old, he hunted his first Impala in an area known as Jao in Botswana.
The memories of the indigenous bushmen people, learning from them to hunt like no other, the smell of the 1954 series 1 Land Rover have remained fresh in his memory. Nearly 60 years later, it is an honour to be able to offer this experience to discerning international hunters. And with this, their personal touch and involvement of both Nicky and Chantel is what will guarantee creating your everlasting safari memories.
