Who We Are

In 1999, a hunting and fishing globetrotter named Bruno van Marcke started a club to share information on the world’s best hunting & fishing lodges. The club grew quickly, and in 2003 the first Magic Safari Lodges guide was published.

In 2006 Bruno van Marcke met Laurent Huwart and they partnered up to grow Magic Safari Lodges as we know it today.

Today, the adventure continues and grows every year as the values of the Magic Safari lodges remains true to its original purpose: to create long term relationships between dedicated sportsmen and the world’s elite hunting and fishing lodges. Just like the premium brand, craftsman, artists and lodges we represent, we’re determined to remain truly one of a kind.

Why The Deer Rifle

Deer are among the oldest hunted species in human history and are represented across every continent in countless forms. More than any other game animal, the deer has shaped the passion and traditions of hunters worldwide. Throughout human evolution, deer provided essential protein for survival, while their bones and hides were used to create tools, clothing, and shelter-elements that enabled mankind to endure harsh climates and progress as a species. From prehistoric cave paintings dating back to the dawn of humanity to modern hunting cultures, the deer has remained an enduring and iconic symbol.
