"Leaving the states and heading to another country that’s halfway around the world is nothing short of intimidating. The fear of not knowing anyone, being vulnerable, and basically putting your life in someone else’s hands can cause some serious anxiety! Our first trip to South Africa was a whirlwind of emotion from the time we left the states. However, we had no idea the caliber of people we were about to meet that would subdue all those fears. Roland quickly became like a long lost brother and eased every fear we had going into this new experience. We quickly realized this was a first class operation with top notch staff and accommodations along with exceptional animals. The Stirling team literally handled everything and provided a true South African experience like no other! We went from the fear of the unknown to trying to figure out how we could live there! The Mahne family has truly become part of our family. Flashing forward to 2022 after several trips to Stirling I can guarantee Roland and his team will do absolutely everything possible to make your dreams come true and give you and adventure like no other!"

"Best safari experience anyone could dream of! Roland and his awesome staff go the extra mile to make sure you're comfortable in your own private room and experience the best hunt that South Africa has to offer. The food is absolutely to die for! Second trip with Stirling Safaris recently and I intend on going again."

"My wife and I hunted with Stirling Safaris in February 2020.  I chose them for a safari for my 50th birthday celebration.  As this was my 3rd trip to Africa, but first time in South Africa, I knew what to expect.  However, what Roland was able to offer in terms of quality game selection, hunting land, accommodations and friendship clearly surpassed my expectations.  The accommodation and camp are great, with new, private suites and very comfortable furnishings.  The meals are what you would expect from a 5 star dining restaurant, not a camp in the African bush.  You will not be disappointed.  The camp atmosphere was everything I had hoped for with a nice fire each evening to recap the day in the field and discuss a plan for the next morning.  It doesn’t matter if this is your 1st time to Africa or your 5th time, Stirling Safaris will be an unforgettable experience on the dark continent!"

"What can I truly say about my month-long safari with Stirling Safaris & Roland Mahne? WOW! A hunt of a lifetime but more importantly with a lifelong friend! Roland and his family as well as his staff truly take care of you as soon as you step off the airplane in Johannesburg until it is time to head back to the airport for the return flight. The South African cuisine & atmosphere they share with you immediately is second to none! Whether you’re laying out at the pool, having a braai, having a drink under the beautiful South African sky by a camel-thorn-wood-fire, the experience is first class. Now to the hunting! The animals on the multiple concessions they hunt from South Africa, Botswana, etc. are truly amazing. Roland is so specific in searching for the right trophies for his clients. He is not a PH who just lets you shoot anything. He thinks of the conservation of the animals first. He looks for mature trophies and does things in a truly ethical way. The best part about it is he can cater to any type of client. Clients in search of Plains Games or those in search of Big 5 or Dangerous Game. The choice is yours. Know this: once you hunt with Stirling Safaris & Roland Mahne you will keep going back and back and back again! Once the African bug is in you and you meet Roland, his family and his staff, you will truly find your second home or your home away from home!"

"I have been fortunate enough to make multiple hunting expeditions in Africa and during those hunts I have taken to the field with 13 different PHs. One quickly learns that the most important aspect of the safari is not the region that you hunt or the game that you pursue. It is the relationship between the hunter and the PH that overwhelmingly defines the quality of the trip. Roland is by far the best PH that I have been exposed to in the course of my journeys. His jovial friendliness and passion for the hunt is contagious and it will leave you with an enjoyable experience of a lifetime."
