Authentic
Adventure Hunting

A Southern Lakes Safaris specialty, these are the hunts we live for. Flying into our public land concession, situated in New Zealand’s most remote and scenic public land hunting grounds, we’ve spent our whole lives gaining the knowledge to be able to make our clients successful in harvesting a truly mature tahr or chamois on public land.

We are the only New Zealand outfitter with a concession directly with the New Zealand government, and this covers almost the entire tahr range, and where we also find high quality chamois and red deer. And it’s because we take things seriously enough to have gained our own concession, that we also have client safety always front of mind with our safety plan having been independently audited to a much higher level than is required. Meaning we put you and your experience here first.

We can adapt these trips to virtually any level of fitness and sense of adventure, but a good base level of fitness will see you enjoy this hunt so much more. We are proud to say we are the only New Zealand outfitter serious enough about mountain hunting, that our guides have high level avalanche qualifications and experience.

Our commitment to client safety is such that we have developed our own Health and Safety System specifically for backcountry hunting, which has been audited to a much higher level than our industry peers.
