Our Values
We strive to serve hunters from across the globe with unrivalled standards of unique taxidermy artistry and customer service.
In the Kuruman community situated in the very centre of the Northern Cape province of South Africa, we believe in sustainability and that nothing should go to waste.
This belief is paramount to everything that we do at Hunters Heart, from the sustainable utilisation of natural resources to ensuring that responsible hunting practices are followed.
How it started
Hunters Heart founder and CEO, Ruan Viljoen, is an avid hunter and conservationist with a passion for securing the sustainability of hunting in South-Africa. Ruan has been a professional in the industry for many years, hunting his first African buffalo at the young age of 13, and growing up admiring his father’s impressive collection of over 66 trophies.
It is because of this extensive background in the hunting industry that we appreciate and understand the significance of expressing each client’s memories with our custom craftsmanship, and why we focus so greatly on delivering a superb customer experience.
