PH Spotlight – Peter Chipman Kwalata Safaris

SCI: What is your most memorable experience with a client?

PC:   A Lord Derby eland in Cameroon. Everybody thinks the eland is just an antelope, but the effort and determination are so rewarding when the trophy is finally taken. It starts with the logistics of getting to Cameroon, then to the hunting.  Sometimes there are many days of long-distance tracking through one of the roughest terrains in Africa, trying to locate the elands. Then picking a bull and the final shot to bring down the trophy. In hunting, the stories never end. I have hunted with some of the greats such as Peter Capstick and others who are no longer with us.

SCI: Where were you born and raised?

PC:  I was born January 17,1969 in Western Province of Zambia in a village called Nakabunze in the Sioma District. I grew up in a family of hunters on my brother’s chicken farm. My grandfather, from Canada, was an ivory hunter. When he was killed by a charging buffalo, my parents, together with my uncles and aunts, were sent to missionaries to be raised. The buffalo actually charged my father who diverted him, but the buffalo hooked my grandfather, inflicting a fatal wound.

SCI: What led you to become a professional hunter?

PC:  My father was a PH. He was the first commercial crocodile hunter and also hunted ivory. I followed my father’s profession. When I was small, I had air guns. In secondary school, I learned about safaris. My brother employed a tractor driver to work on his farm. The driver told stories of how he had clients taking dangerous game, including shooting lions. I always asked him questions and his answers excited me and led me to aspire to be a PH.

SCI: What species do you hunt?

PC:   Lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant, hippo, crocodile and numerous plains game.

SCI: What firearms do you carry on hunts and why?

PC:  I started out with a .375. That put me in trouble because on July 4,1999 I was charged by a lion that actually did get to me. I shot the lion in the chest.  It did not stop him and there was no time for a second shot. I needed a bigger caliber. I gave my .375 to my brother. I bought myself a .458. I worked hard to get the double and got the Woodleigh soft points. The lion incident occurred on a professional hunt video which can be viewed on YouTube.

SCI: What other activities do you offer? Fishing? Photo tours?

PC:  We offer photographic safaris through our partnering associates.

SCI: How many years have you been in business?

PC:  My last year of school, I applied for an apprenticeship and was accepted by Lugins of Africa. I went to the camp, got my start and knew that I wanted to be a PH. That was in August 1986. After three years of apprenticeship, in 1989 I got my full license.

SCI: Are you involved in local programs, such as conservation, education and anti-poaching?

PC:  Kwalata Safaris has an ongoing anti-poaching campaign. Conservation is our top priority. Programs are in place to protect wildlife in our game areas and sustain natural habitats. Our own scouts do joint patrols with the Wildlife Department scouts. Our efforts have resulted in increased numbers of game and improved trophy quality.

We take community obligations seriously. While operating in the Lower Lupande Block, we have done several projects which include providing safe drinking water for the community. We distribute 50 percent of meat from safari hunting to the local community.

SCI: In what ways are you affiliated with SCI?

PC:  I am a Life Member. Attended conventions annually from 1998 as a PH and from 2003 as an outfitter.

SCI: What’s the best piece of hunting advice you ever received and who told it to you?

PC: Best advice I received was from my father. He told me never trust or give your back to the Bush. Always be on the alert in the field as you always are surrounded by danger.

Why We Hunt

• FAQ’s

Where it All Began

From childhood Jaco, your outfitter & host, has had a passion for hunting and all places wild. At a young age, he joined his father on several safaris. Here he was able to hone his bush skills and spend as much time as possible in the bushveld of South Africa’s Lowveld fascinated and captivated by wildlife and nature.

After completing high school in 1997, Jaco pursued a degree in Zoology and Botany and finally completed his professional hunting license in 2000. Here he could not only fulfil his hunting dreams but also spend all available time completely absorbed in nature and all its splendour.

During his apprenticeship, he gained valuable experience in Dangerous game hunting in the Southern African region Including Mozambique, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Botswana. He was fortunate enough to hunt and learn from industry leaders at the time.

The Kwalata Way

We continue to invest and grow our relationship with African communities in both South Africa and Mozambique. We have experienced first hand the value of community involvement in conservation. The modern-day safari industry is so much more than just a “feeding program”.

It is for exactly this reason that Kwalata actively engages and involves the communities where we operate in the training of safari staff, antipoaching teams and professional hunters. This provides an educational & financial incentive to communities, ensuring the survival of Africa’s last wild places.

What to Expect

Jaco is well known for being passionate with regards to anything “Leopard” during his 20+ year career as well as most of his later childhood he would often spend hours on end searching for leopard sign and activity. This obsession has grown stronger and stronger over time directly translating into a hunter’s success over the last 17 years. His passion for nature and firm beliefs in consumptive sustainable wildlife management plan’s as conservation tools are the basis of all he does. His hardworking never say die attitude has and will continue to contribute to all clients success.

Kwalata safaris, previously Kwalata Wilderness was started in 1988 since then Kwalata has changed ownership once with Jaco completing an asset purchase of the company in 2020. As a previous director of Kwalata Safaris Jaco and his wife Lindie are now the sole proprietors of Kwalata Safaris. Kwalata’s 33-year legacy is rooted in Ethical, sustainable hunting practices, this legacy has never held more firm and is the basis of all Kwalata’s actions. We are passionate about all we do and guarantee every hunter with an ethical consummate safari hunting experience.

Vastly experienced and trusted in the industry, we have been hunting the African continent since 1988.

Excellent Areas

We are known for having secured some of the most fantastic hunting blocks in Southern Africa. Vast open areas well managed for decades will ensure top quality trophies. 

Experienced Guides

We pride ourselves in not cutting any corners when it comes to client experience, and least of all when it comes to your guides. With Kwalata you will be hunting with some of the best PH’s in the industry. 

Fair Pricing

Our focus is first and foremost on the quality of your experience. After ensuring your hunt will be the best possible, we also double-check that your Safari is of great value.
