About
My father taught me a valuable lesson when I was just starting out my hunting career, he told me that the day I stop enjoying the hunt, the chase, the challenges and the frustrations of hunting, is the day I must stop guiding all together. His reasoning was such, “what you are helping people achieve is an opportunity to live out the dream of a lifetime and that is why no matter what, you must love every single aspect of what you do, so that you can focus on making sure you give your everything to provide the best hunting experience possible for your clients. Eighteen years later I have never ever looked back with an ounce of regret. Hunting is my passion, it is a part of who I am, where I belong and what makes me whole.

Being born into a hunting family I understand the importance of passing on the generations of experience I have down to the future generations to come. That is one of the reasons we run a successful family safari company, so don’t be surprised if you see my children, beautiful wife, not so handsome brother or my parents at some stage during your trip as we welcome you into our home, our camps and our lives.

I tell all of my clients on the first day of their hunt that 99% of the things they see and experience will be things that relatively few people have ever experienced in their lives and that you should always make the most of it whether it’s a Mamba or an exceptional trophy as there is a good chance that it may only happen once.

Bayete Group Total Scam!!
Scam Alert - Bayete Group!!! There were three different groups of people that were from the United States that went over to South Africa in July/August of 2019 and our hunts have not been paid for. Our stay at Kuche Safari’s was amazing we had an awesome time!! But Bayete Group has not paid a dime for any part of our stay, the awesome PHs, landowners, or Kuche Safari, nobody has not been paid anything!! ... more Bayete Group has $38,000 of our money and nothing has been paid for… If you want to avoid getting into the middle of legal issues and not being ripped off. Do not use this Bayete Group. If you have any questions at all, please give me a call. Travis Dove ‘9708084000. I recommend, tearing up your “Bayete Group - Friends of the NRA Package”, you will be money ahead…. With this being said, our experience in South Africa Was AMAZING we had once in a lifetime family trip and Kuche Safari and their PHs did an amazing job! Unfortunately, Bayete Group did not do their part… Believe me, I do not like giving bad reviews, but this has gone on way too long and honestly, I believe Bayete Group has already spent the money…

I have hunted with Wiam and would recommend him to anyone that wants to go experience hunting Africa. His hunting knowledge and skill is amazing. I spent 6 days trying to just see an animal before he pointed it out to us. Never could.
