THE ORIGINS FOUNDATION X Africa Maximum Safaris
Location: North West Province of South Africa
23 Years as an active outfitter.
We are an African Safari Operator with a mission to provide adventure hunters from across the globe the opportunity to experience hunting in Africa in such a way that not only provides the experience of a lifetime but ultimately contributes to ensuring these areas continue to be dedicated to wildlife in the future.
In our time travelling and hunting in Africa we have hand picked what we believe to be the best hunting and wilderness areas that Africa has to offer, this covers a large range of species and styles of hunting. These destinations rely on sustainable hunting for their long term protection from the constant challenges of conservation in Africa.
