Caprinae Safaris

“Mountain hunting has its rights and rules, its pleasures and tributes, its delights and prices. Mountain hunting guides itself by the stars of custom – the iron strength of custom – more than by the written word, written as often as not with disappearing ink, that tries to run the sport to the greatest delight of the few and healthiest benefit of all. Really, in the conduct of the hunt what counts more is the spirit that imbues the art than the letters or numbers or statistics that describe its result.”

Camillo José Cella from Ricardo Medem’s epic, Argali.

Over the Years

For more than 20 years Caprinae’s principals are well-known to the international big game hunting world, especially in the North American continent. Founders Mehmet Alkan and Riza Gozluk have built Caprinae on experience and personal reputation with a huge clientele consisting of international hunters from all around the world.

Caprinae has organized big game hunting trips in 18 different destinations for over 50 different species and subspecies, specializing in mainly mountain game like wild sheep & wild goat species along with wild boar hunts in it’s home base in Turkey. However along with these Capra and Ovis species and subspecies, the company also offers a large variety of deer and bear hunts around Asia and Europe. What sets the company apart from other operators in Central Asia is simply that the personal attention the company takes from the early, planning stages of the hunt through the shipment stage of the trophies. Except a very few destinations where the company feels very comfortable with the partner, Caprinae always sends a representative professional hunter to accompany the client throughout the hunt in order to make sure everything goes as planned.

The ambition and desire to collect old trophies has become a norm for the Caprinae guides and ended up collecting 4 registered SCI world records and a good number of top ten trophies in the past seven hunting seasons. Caprinae Safaris partners with the best and most reliable operators in some countries and also runs it’s own operations in some other destinations, like Turkey, Pakistan and Azerbaijan which adds up more control over the operations. The company’s aim has always been and still is to send their clients back home fully satisfied and with a trophy as old as possible. All the employees of the company are fully aware of the fact that a happy client is the best reference and can bring others in. Another thing the company workers take pride in is the reliability and honesty of this newly established foundation.

Caprinae also offers touristic tours in Turkey under the name of Caprinae Travel and provides the guests with VIP quality service. One can visit www.caprinaetravel.com and learn more about these VIP level touristic tours. For the big game hunting, the company address is www.caprinae.com
