Who We Are

---

Dream Big African Safaris is a family-run outfitter offering bespoke hunting, fishing, diving, and photographic safaris across Southern Africa.

With over a decade of hands-on field experience, we craft personalised adventures rooted in Africa’s raw beauty and untamed spirit. Our team is committed to exceptional service, deep local knowledge, and delivering the kind of safari that leaves a lasting impression - one defined by authenticity, connection, and adventure.

Dream Big African Safaris is led by Gianmarco Gualdi (AKA Johnny), a licensed professional hunter, outfitter, field guide, and dive master with over 20 years of experience.

Backed by a team of seasoned professional hunters and field experts, we bring deep knowledge of the bush, conservation, and ethical safari practices. 

 We take the hassle out of packing by providing a full range of top-quality hunting and fishing gear - from rifles to rods, reels, and tackle. 

We also supply essential field accessories to keep you safe, comfortable, and ready for any terrain - on land or water. 

Set in the heart of the beautiful Waterberg Biosphere, Dream Big African Safari Lodge blends the charm of the bush with the comfort of a luxury escape. Here, every detail is designed for relaxation, from elegant rooms and warm hospitality to serene views that let you unwind between each unforgettable safari experience.
