Hunting Expertise!

Trophy Safaris was established in 1994 by Pete Kibble. However, his story started much earlier in 1946 when his family moved to Kenya. Growing up in East Africa, Pete Kibble learned the ethics of hunting at an early age, spending most of his free time hunting and fishing. He earned his reputation on safari under the watchful eye of some of Africa’s great old time hunters hunters such as Eric Rundgren, John Cook, Bill Ryan, John Dugmore, John Lawrence and Fred Bartlett.

By 1962 Pete was hunting dangerous game mainly problem elephant and buffalo, and stock killing leopard. In 1967 Pete married Liz, the daughter of Fred Bartlett,  author of “Shoot Straight and Stay Alive.”

The birth of three sons, Michael, Kevin and Brian, created the fourth generation of professional hunters. Together with their parents, Pete and Liz, they run a hunting operation in Namibia that prides itself on providing quality trophies and fair chase hunting safaris.

About Trophy Safaris

Introducing

Pete Kibble

Step into the world of hunting with Pete Kibble, a highly regarded professional hunter in Namibia. His exceptional skills and contributions to the hunting community have earned him mentions and accolades in the books "A Hunter's Hunter" and "A dangerous game" by renowned hunter and author - Robin Hurt

On page 156 of "A Hunter's Hunter," the author shines a spotlight on Pete and his sons Mike and Brian, members of an esteemed Namibian hunting family. The passage states, " Pete and Mike Kibble of the well-known Kibble Namibian hunting family showing one of the many uses for Shooting Sticks! Pete and Mike are both top popular Namibian PHs with large client followings." This recognition solidifies their place as highly sought-after professional hunters with a wide base of satisfied clients.

Furthermore, Pete Kibble's reputation as an outstanding hunter is highlighted on page 175 of the same book. The author describes Pete as an "outstandingly crack shot and an expert hunter" who has been a friend since their days in Kenya. It was Pete who first encouraged the author and his wife to visit Namibia over two decades ago. The passage continues to praise Pete's expertise, mentioning that he utilizes a .470 Rigby side lock rifle, with 26-inch barrels specifically for dangerous game hunting. This rifle, built in the 1920s and in impeccable condition, is a testament to Pete's commitment to his craft.

Pete Kibble's impact in the hunting community extends beyond his own achievements. The book also acknowledges his wife, Liz Kibble, as the daughter of Fred Bartlett, a well-known Kenyan professional hunter. On page 179, the author writes, "Liz Kibble, wife of Namibian PH Peter Kibble and mother of Mike, Kevin, and Brian. Liz is the daughter of the well-known Kenyan PH Fred Bartlett. You could say she has grown up with 'Safari Life and not be wrong!" This familial connection further emphasizes the deep-rooted hunting heritage that Pete carries with him.

(A dangerous game) Page 525 - "This is a young Peter Kibble, in his element, gun over shoulder. Pete is one of Namibia's ace PHs. A most charismatic man who is also a skilled hunter - hence his regular client following. Pete comes with the pedigree of his old hunting family clan, the Bartletts. In his youth, Pete apprenticed under two of the best - John Lawrence and Fred Bartlett. Pete is now in his mid-seventies and still hunting. One could say it's in his blood!

"Hunting in Africa is a moment of opportunity. You have to take it, otherwise it's gone and you wont get another chance at it."

- Pete Kibble
