Tom Sr qualified as a lawyer in 1979 and enjoyed a successful career as an advocate. In 2020 Tom bid the law practice farewell to fully devote himself to Tom Dreyer Safaris. His love and passion for hunting and conservation naturally led him to qualify as a professional hunter in 1997, guiding numerous international clients on safaris in various African countries.
Tom Jr ventured into property development in Mozambique after finishing high school. Over a period of three years, he developed a holiday resort where he built numerous upper-class holiday homes and a restaurant and managed the business until the resort was bought by an international company in 2006. Having qualified as a professional hunter in 2005, on his return to South Africa, he hunted for an established hunting outfit gaining valuable experience in the hunting of various African species and countries.
Tom Dreyer Safaris was established in 2012 when Tom Sr and Tom Jr decided to join forces. Tom Sr ran a hunting outfit on a part time basis from 1997 while practising law. Tom Jr freelanced for other outfitters since 2006 up until 2011.
In 2011 Tom Sr and Tom Jr purchased a game ranch and bred sable, buffalo and Livingstone eland. In 2012 they decided it was time to pursue their passion which is hunting and guiding clients on safaris.

We aim to share the most incredible hunts with our clients, creating memories that will last a lifetime and harvesting trophies no matter your walk of life, physical capabilities or whether you have previous hunting experience or not.
