About New Zealand Safaris
World class trophy hunting and professionally guided non-hunting adventures.
One of New Zealand’s highest-quality outfitters
Jim Gibson has earned the reputation for New Zealand Safaris as one of the highest-quality outfitters in New Zealand. As professional hunting outfitters we have exclusive access to privately owned high-country wilderness mountain properties which are unmatched in the industry. Our aim is to give you an unforgettable experience — be that hunting, adventure tours, sightseeing or lodge accommodation.
New Zealand Safaris offers premier big game hunting, including the “monster” red stag and tahr, as well as amazing fishing and wing shooting. As a small, family-run business built from the ground up, our goal is simple: provide professionally guided hunting and adventures, convenient and high-quality accommodations, and a high level of service during your stay. High-quality hunts over high-turnover hunts.
Based in Fairlie, South Island
Founded by hunting outfitter and guide Jim Gibson, we’ve spent a lifetime building personal relationships with private landowners to give you access to a hunting experience you’ll never forget. Thousands of acres of world-class scenery, filled with high-quality game.
Located in Fairlie in the central South Island, our primary hunting lodge — All Seasons Lodge — is within 5 to 30 minutes of our hunting properties, and 20 minutes to an hour from major New Zealand sightseeing attractions. We can help you tailor your hunting experience to include memorable activities for family and non-hunters.
Our Private Hunting AreasProud to support conservation
With 95% of our hunters coming from the US, it’s important to us to give back. New Zealand Safaris is proud to contribute an estimated $350,000 to conservation efforts in the US through various programs.
