The African Dream: Inside a Marupa Safaris Adventure

All the way from South Africa, we’re joined by Pieter Viviers, owner of Marupa Safaris, along with our good friend Tony Roettger for an unforgettable conversation about African big game hunting. In this episode, Pieter shares how he got started bringing American hunters to South Africa and what a true African safari experience really looks like. We break down the trophy options available, realistic costs, travel planning tips, and what hunters should expect when booking the adventure of a lifetime. We also dive into the inherent dangers of hunting Africa’s largest game — including intense stories of Cape buffalo encounters and lion charges that will have you leaning in a little closer. From rifles and calibers to timing your trip and preparing properly, we cover the details that matter. If Africa has ever been on your bucket list, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
