RATAU SAFARIS – Derived from two words – Ra, meaning respectfully mature male, and Tau, meaning Lion. Nothing resonates more than a robust Male Lion in the Kalahari, roaring and asserting his territory with gratitude. I am thankful to have been born in the Kalahari, growing up surrounded by nature and hunting, understanding the importance of co-existence and respect towards nature. This is our ethos – conducting honest and ethical business, aiming for perfection, while affording you the chance to experience the best of Africa and honoring the animals with a fair chase. Ultimately, it’s about the holistic experience.

“I guess you know that the PH was the right one when we’re all crying at security at the airport. It’s like the “person” you counted on, laughed with, prayed with, cooked with, sang with, stalked with, talked with, judged game with, learned from all along and not just hunting, but the life I didn’t checkout of, but checked into. Unexplainable experience! From the time we stepped off the airplane
