Who We Are

Safari Outfitters was founded by Roman Hupalowski in 1952. We were the first hunting consultant company in the world, but were soon joined by two others, who together dominated the hunting world for many years.

These early pioneers opened sport hunting in many African and Asian nations. Roman sold SAFARI to Lloyd Zeman and Gretchen Stark in the early 80’s. Lloyd started the Foundation for North American Wild Sheep and was a respected biologist, journalist and sheep-hunting expert. He opened sport hunting in Siberia for Snow Sheep and bear, the Kamchatka Peninsula for Kamchatka Bighorn and brown bear and Tajikistan for Marco Polo hunting.

Gretchen then took over the leadership of the company and operated the company until 2012. In 2012 one of our longtime clients and a well known international hunter, Deron Millman, took over the reins of the company. His vision is to continue the high service level our clients have become accustomed to and develop and expand our relationships with new outfitters in areas such as Europe and South America.

In 2025 Fernando San Pio, our European guide for many years, acquired the company.

When we say, “go with the leaders”, you can see we’ve earned our top position in the world of hunting today.
