The Team
Ken Whiley

Ken was born and raised in the Karoo region of South Africa. I started Gamka Safaris for the adventure of the hunt, but it quickly turned into a passion and a believe that there is no better way to preserve our wildlife. There is no better way than Hunting to show of our beautiful part of this world.
Albert Swart

Albert grew up on a farm in the Western Cape. After getting his Bachelor’s Degree in Agriculture he started hunting guiding and conserving wildlife as a career. His position allowed him to work with people from all over the world. In his time as GM Outfitter and PH on various Game Reserves the opportunity arose to Join the Gamka Safari Team. Albert is actively involved in various farming diversities himself, but it is his passion for wildlife, hunting and conservation that encouraged him to join the Gamka team giving him the chance to share his passion with others.
