Tiger Hunter Tours and Safaris

Philip van Wyk grew up on the banks of Lake Jozini, where fishing became a lifelong passion. As the founder and owner of Tiger Hunter Tours and Safaris, he has spent the past 15 years sharing the waters he knows so well with anglers from South Africa and abroad. His experience on the lake stretches back well beyond the business, giving him a deep understanding of its changing conditions, tigerfish behavior, and the techniques needed to target these powerful freshwater predators. Whether guiding an experienced angler or helping a beginner pursue their first tigerfish, Philip offers personal, hands-on guidance shaped by years on the water. His passion also extends to the lake’s wildlife and protecting its fishing future through responsible catch-and-release practices. A trip with Philip is an opportunity to experience Lake Jozini with someone who grew up calling it home.
