Global Hunting Adventure

Global Hunting Adventures started with a chance exchange between two gun nuts who discovered they shared a passion for hunting amazing species in amazing places with incredible people. What began as a personal partnership has evolved into a curated network of the world's best outfitters and hunting destinations.

Co-founders Joseph von Benedikt and Austin Brown have hunted together across three continents and now share their favorite opportunities with fellow hunters. Every outfitter and area is personally vetted before recommendation.

Joseph von Benedikt is a big game guide, competitive shooter, outdoor writer, and host of the Backcountry Hunting Podcast. A self-described cartridge geek and gun nut, Joseph hunts with everything from fine .416 Rigby magazine rifles to century-old classics to modern carbon-fiber precision rifles in 7mm Backcountry. He finds his greatest fulfillment sharing incredible hunts with like-minded people who answer the call of the wild.

Austin Brown brings international travel expertise, risk management experience, and a track record of handling everything from wounded Cape buffalo to derailed logistics. A family man by preference and gun nut by passion, Austin is equally comfortable hunting with a custom .280 Ackley or a century-old Westley Richards .450/400 Nitro Express double rifle—and yes, he's the guy you want wading through crocodile-infested African rivers.

You have two paths:

Book Directly with Outfitters — Browse the vetted network of operations across eight continents. Each recommendation includes detailed information about what they hunt, where, and what to expect.

Join a Hosted Hunt — Global Hunting Adventures leads a couple of hosted hunts each year to exceptional destinations. These aren't expensive, and you'll hunt alongside Joseph von Benedikt and/or Austin Brown, who handle all logistics, answer questions, and guide you through the entire process.

Zambeze Delta Safaris (Mozambique) — Named "Outfitter of the Month" for 2026. Operating in Coutada 11 under owner Mark Haldane, this concession has become one of Africa's most respected conservation success stories. Hunt Cape buffalo in the Zambeze River floodplains and Tiny Ten antelope species in sub-tropical forests. Sable, nyala, chobe bushbuck, Livingston eland, Crawshay zebra, and giant waterbuck are abundant. This is serious African hunting—not a budget operation, but a proper safari deep in unchanged bush with authentic glamping accommodations.

Crusader Safaris (South Africa, Mozambique, Zambia) — Ideal for large groups. Specializes in free-range Cape kudu, nyala, bushbuck, and plains game.

Kowas Hunting Safaris (South Africa) — 420,000 acres of mountainous kudu habitat on the edge of the Kalahari. Run by Jacques Strauss, widely considered the best kudu hunter alive.

4Bs Boat-based Alaska Hunts — Self-guided hunts off the good boat Venturess. Hunt Kodiak Island and southeast Alaska for sitka blacktail and black bear. Includes daily fishing for halibut, rockfish, and salmon. Not expensive, and one of the world's great adventures.

Avon Valley Safaris (New Zealand) — Luxury lodge on New Zealand's North Island. Estate-type hunting for giant red stag, fallow deer, tahr, chamois, and Roosevelt elk.

Kildermorie Lodge (Scottish Highlands) — Exclusive 150-year-old Victorian estate on 17,000 acres. Stalk rutting red stag, pack out with Scottish ponies. One hosted hunt per year with 6-8 hunters. Experience is second to none.
