Pro Safaris Africa is the result of the 2003 merger of 2 Safari companies: Ngezi Safaris and Norman Crooks Safaris, which also joined 2 hunting families.

Ngezi Safaris was established in 1982 by Frik Muller (Snr) as the 12^th registered Safari Company in Zimbabwe. Hunts were mainly organized in central and northern Zimbabwe. His sons Louis and Frik (Jnr) took over the company in 1998.

Norman Crooks established his hunting company in 1997, after years of working in the wildlife industry. It operated mostly in southern Zimbabwe.

Since 2003 Pro Safaris Africa has been hunting throughout Zimbabwe, expanding into Namibia and Mozambique. We focus on custom made safaris, specializing in elephant, buffalo, leopard and plainsgame hunts. We are particularly proud of our high success rate with leopard hunts.

At Pro Safaris Africa we strive to offer you the best safari experience in Southern Africa. Regardless of whether you are looking for a traditional hunting safari or have something more unusual in mind; Pro Safaris Africa can help you make your dream come true!

Born and educated in South Africa where he qualified as a fitter and turner. Norman and his family moved to Zimbabwe in 1984. He then grew tobacco on the family ranch and started game hunting. In 1994 he moved to the Bubiana Conservancy and held the position of conservator for several years, mainly concentrating on the problems of black rhino. He did his apprenticeship during this period and qualified as a full professional hunter in 1997.

Norman is known as the "cat man" because of his love of leopard and lion hunting, and also for his snake catching skills.
