History records that from ancient times man’s very survival depended on his instinctive ability and skills honed as a hunter – In modern times hunting has become a skilled sport, requiring passion, dedication and, imperative for it’s very survival, a responsible life-long commitment to wild animal conservation and management.

Of equal importance in South Africa is the education, upliftment and job creation for local community’s dependant on the hunting industry.

Some years back Derek and Hazel moved their Taxidermy Studio to Motsomi Ranch, (named from local dialect Tswana word for ‘Hunter’), their spectacular 10 000 acre ranch in Thabazimbi, Limpopo Province – 2.5 hours north-west of Johannesburg. Teeming with wildlife this beautiful ranch is home to Dean and Ashleigh’s business Adventures Africa Safaris and Tours as well.

Focussing on the importance of having a flawless African Safari, with the time to absorb the splendour of Africa, the Robinson family have worked to create a unique opportunity on Motsomi Ranch. By locating a number of related services, owned and run by Family members working together as a highly specialized team - all ‘Under One Roof’, - they are able to guarantee their Guests the very best Africa has to offer !
