World Class Trophy Hunting

One of the most diverse hunting experiences on Earth

Jim Gibson has earned New Zealand Safaris a reputation as one of the highest-quality outfitters in New Zealand, with exclusive access to privately owned high-country wilderness properties unmatched in the industry. Our specialty is genuine free-range hunting safaris — game stalked on foot, ATV or 4×4 across some of New Zealand’s most iconic private land. No resort-style, multi-group cramped lodges. Your hunt is yours alone.
