Why hunters come back
to Four Seasons Safaris
“What a great time. Scenery, people, accommodations, food, and the hunting were excellent, worth every mile. I brought my wife and she had a wonderful time too. First-class operation.”
I hunted red stag, chamois, and tahr with Four Seasons Safaris and had a wonderful experience. I harvested all three trophies, and my wife and kids loved the helicopter tours and jet boat ride. Great service and amazing food.”
“Four Seasons was recommended to me as the best outfitter in New Zealand for red stag, tahr, and chamois, and they delivered. They listened to what I wanted and every part of the hunt was thrilling, especially tahr in the Southern Alps. Hunters will be very pleased.”
