GAME TRACKERS AFRICA - TANZANIA
Live the African Legacy...
Professional hunter and outfitter, Jaco Oosthuizen, is a founder member of GAME TRACKERS AFRICA SAFARIS CC which operates in Southern & East Africa (Tanzania).
ONDJAMBA SAFARIS was originally established in the late 90’s as the result of a lifelong dream. Ondjamba which means Elephant, originates from the Himba tribe, which roams in the north western parts of Namibia. Jaco grew up in a family of big game hunters in Namibia where he first learned and mastered his hunting skills. He completed his secondary education in Wolmaransstad from where he studied at the University of Pretoria. Halfway through his law studies, his love for wildlife, hunting encouraged him to become a professional hunter.
In 1994 Jaco obtained his first PH license in South-Africa, followed by obtaining licenses in all other provinces. He gained extensive experience under the guidance of several experienced outfitters and professional hunters. In his capacity of hunting outfitter, professional hunter and operations manager he obtained very early successes in the hunting industry, causing him to have established a great reputation early on.
This resulted in the expansion of his company (1999) further into East Africa’s Tanzania – the last authentic free range hunting frontier! Having been able to establish excellent hunting areas in the world famous Selous & Moyowosi/Kigosi Game Reserves, contributed to him building an even stronger hunting outfit which resulted in the establishment of GAME TRACKERS AFRICA SAFARIS CC. This is a Namibian based company, intended to take care of all your safari interests on the African continent, where we believe your dreams are awaiting you!

As native born Africans, Hunters & Conservationists, with respect for our fellow conservationists and our beloved continent we are committed to a purpose – the modernization of our society without losing the African personality, while implementing the concept of “conservation through utilization”. We support the development and upliftment of local communities and also the education of such communities in order for all to understand and appreciate the benefits of wildlife conservation and the concept of “Conservation through utilization’. The integration of the hunting industry and wildlife conservation with modern science and technology is inevitable in order to support the upliftment of such communities.
Education on conservation awareness is important to prevent the misapplication and waste of the wealth of our rivers and lakes, forests and wildlife. It is our responsibility to protect our natural heritage, and we believe there is not a more efficient vehicle, other than hunting, to initiate, justify and finance this process.
Meet the Team. Jaco Oosthuizen. Jaco was born on June 6, 1973 in a town called Tsumeb, in the northern part of Namibia (Southwest Africa). He grew up on a cattle ranch adjacent to the Etosha National Park during a time when Namibian ranchers / farmers were heavily terrorized by political motivated criminal elements. In this environment he learned very soon to acquire a calm and relaxed approach in any intense, but also potentially exciting situation. Jaco finally finished his high school in the former western-Transvaal from where he went on to become a very successful professional hunter and businessman.
He believes in high performance levels based on adrenaline rushes, but he is also a person who firmly believes in his Creator, God Almighty. He also realizes his own weaknesses which is a direct result of the immense respect he pays to every person he meets.
