Family safari since 1996
Authentic African Safaris. Unforgettable Memories.
Owned and operated by professional hunter Izak Kirsten and his wife, Linky, WOW Africa offers exceptional hunting and photographic safari experiences in the heart of South Africa’s Green Karoo and Kalahari. With 30 years of experience, we combine authentic African adventure, personal hospitality, and a family-friendly atmosphere where hunters, non-hunting partners, and families can share the magic of Africa together. From the moment you arrive, you become part of our family. Whether you come for the hunt of a lifetime or to discover Africa’s extraordinary wildlife, we create experiences that stay with you long after you return home.
Conservation
The best way to teach it is to live it.
From campfire evenings to unforgettable wildlife encounters, children experience Africa firsthand, learning to appreciate nature, wildlife, and the importance of conservation — memories and lessons that last a lifetime.
