Where Tradition meetsthe untamed wilderness
At Hunt The Sun, family values are at the heart of
everything we do. Guided by decades of experience and a deep connection to the
land, we practice hunting that is ethical, sustainable, and respectful of
Africa’s majestic wildlife. Every expedition is carefully curated to honour the
balance between adventure and conservation, ensuring that the wild landscapes
and creatures we cherish today will continue to thrive for generations to come.
with over 30 yearsof hunting experience
This dedication to heritage is deeply personal. Mike Birch has walked and hunted the African veld since he could first set foot on his family farm, developing an unmatched understanding of the land, its rhythms, and its wildlife – knowledge that now guides every expedition Hunt The Sun undertakes. From the open plains of the Northern Cape to the dramatic landscapes of the Eastern Cape and Mpumalanga, each journey is crafted to immerse guests in Africa’s wild beauty while maintaining the highest standards of ethical hunting and conservation. Now, with his youngest daughter Kayleigh joining the team, this family legacy is continuing into a new generation, combining decades of experience with fresh perspectives and renewed passion for the veld. Together, they ensure that every safari is more than an adventure – it is a carefully curated experience that celebrates the majesty of Africa, fosters connection with the land and its wildlife and honours the people and communities who sustain it. At Hunt The Sun, we invite you to share in this legacy, to explore Africa with both curiosity and respect, and to experience the wilderness as only dedicated stewards can provide.
