Safari Club International has chapters in many countries around the world.
Safari Club International boasts chapters in numerous countries across the globe, each dedicated to promoting hunting and conservation on an international scale.
The New Zealand Chapter was established in 1989/90 by Malcom North, along with a dedicated group including Gary Joll and Terry Jacobs. Their vision was to create a hunting organisation that would not only represent the sport of hunting in New Zealand to global standards but also advocate for game animal management and engage in political activities supportive of hunting and conservation efforts.
Over the past thirty-two years, we’ve built a proud legacy marked by significant achievements. Among these accomplishments is the installation of the bronze tahr statue at Lake Pukaki in 2014. This landmark, funded by hunters and notably Safari Club New Zealand, has become a beloved attraction for tourists and locals alike. It commemorates the gifting of five Tahr to New Zealand by the Duke of Bedford in 1904, celebrating our rich hunting heritage.
