I Avon Valley Safaris

Avon Valley Safaris is a family-owned working sheep and cattle ranch in New Zealand, offering trophy hunting alongside high-end accommodation, dining and bespoke travel experiences. Its hunts take place across more than 5,000 acres of challenging bush, with access to a further 20,000 acres for client hunts. Guests can pursue red stag and other deer species, chamois and waterfowl, with tahr hunts also available. The company highlights expert guides, extensive terrain and a stated 100% trophy success record.

Beyond hunting, Avon Valley Safaris creates tailored experiences for guests and their companions, including winery tours, day spas, whale watching, fishing and excursions to destinations such as Queenstown and Fiordland. Accommodation and hospitality are complemented by an award-winning private chef, who prepares seasonal cuisine using locally grown and hand-foraged ingredients, sometimes joining hunting parties in the bush. The team also arranges private dining and functions, and welcomes guests with a personal, family-style approach.
