Your Professional Hunter
Brian Van Blerk
Born in Zimbabwe in 1971 and raised on his father's game ranch, Brian Van Blerk left school in 1989 and walked straight into the bush. He never looked back. Over 37 years of professional hunting, he has earned the nickname "The Catman" for his extraordinary success with leopard: 136 and counting.
With 56 trophy lions, 300+ Cape buffalo, and 50 elephant bulls to his name, Brian is one of the most experienced dangerous game hunters working in Africa today. He operates across Zimbabwe's finest concessions, including the Chirisa Safari Area and the Zambezi Valley, as well as premium blocks in Tanzania.
