Our moto: “COME AS A CLIENT AND LEAVE AS A FRIEND”:
Charl started Infinito Safaris in 2003. Living his dream of building his own hunting company materialized slowly after he qualified as a Professional Hunter. From the start our motto was always to offer visiting hunters to Africa the “NEVER ENDING” Safari experience.
Charl and Erika van Rooyen have become known as one of the favorite families in the industry. Their honesty and integrity in business has become the hallmark of their operation. And they know how to have a good time!
