PROFESSIONAL HUNTER & OUTFITTER
Wiehan was born in South Africa in 1979. After completing secondary school, he entered the formal employment sector, first as sports coaching assistant, and later as technical advisor to the automotive industry.
After a number of years, he was introduced to the hunting and game farming industry by a friend who owns a game concessions in the Limpopo Province. Wiehan spent increasing amounts of his free time hunting with local clients. He had always harboured a deep passion for wildlife management, and gradually developed ambitions of following a full-time career in the hunting industry.
Wiehan becomes nostalgic as he recollects the first moment of awakening, when he shared his ambitions with a client on a hunt, whilst resting in a dry river-bed. Since that day, he has become even more obsessed and passionate about hunting. Today, thirteen years later, Wiehan is fortunate to be living his dream!
Wiehan started guiding international clients in 2003, and has been involved full-time, ever since. He obtained a professional hunting qualification and is fully licensed and authorised to conduct hunting operations for local and international hunters, as stipulated within the legislatory and regulatory requirements set forth by the governing authorities. Wiehan is also a registered outfitter and is fully licensed and authorised to host International Hunters.
Wiehan performs wildlife-management duties in the Limpopo Province and is actively hunting for other outfitters if he is not busy hunting with his own clients. Wiehan has extensively hunted most species of plains game in the northern parts of South-Africa, Kalahari, Eastern Cape, North West province, Free State and neighbouring countries Namibia, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. He has also become an avid bow-hunter during the past six years, and has taken many a quarry with his compound bow. His latest venture entails becoming more proficient with the longbow, with the aim of getting up close and personal to the quarry….
Wiehan’s constant companion is a boundlessly energetic canine named ‘Mattheus’, a cross-bred Jack Russell with remarkable hunting instinct and exceptional skills for tracking wounded game.
Wiehan considers himself to be of the adventurous outdoors type, his extended interests include fishing, hiking.
He considers himself to be a hopeless romantic; his nostalgia for hunting stories and hunting legends has led to many-a-late night, around the campfire under the warm star-studded African skies.
To him, the stories passed on by old trackers and hunters are the stuff of his deepest imaginings, and he has a deep-rooted respect of all experienced trackers and hunters.
Wiehan is of the belief that true trackers are born, not made, and that tracking is born more of a natural talent, than a practical skill which can be acquired through experience.
However, this doesn’t deter him in becoming better by honing his own rather exceptional tracking skills. Wiehan will be personally involved in all your hunts and accompany you throughout your Safari.
