Andries and Heidi du Plessis


Andries and Heidi du Plessis are a married couple who have been with DE KLERK SAFARIS since 2005. Andries is responsible for the day to day running of the ranches, taking hunters out hunting, doing photographic safaris and with his calm and relaxing nature, this will ensure that even first time hunters will feel at ease. Andries has a very fine sense of humor and his jokes and pranks will make sure there is plenty of laughter around the camp fire. Andries is a specialist when it comes to the hunting of small predators like caracal (lynx), brown hyena, jackal, bat eared fox and African wild cat.

Heidi is Marie’s right hand person and she takes care of the lodges, catering, administration, permits and all the camp staff. She is very meticulous lady, a real hard worker and a real bonus to DE KLERK SAFARIS.
