About Us — Hunting Experts Pakistan
01About Us

Hunting Experts of Pakistan · Since 2017

Founded in
Lahore.

Hunting Experts in Pakistan is a premier outfitting and guiding company founded by Faisal Ayaz Arif. Since 2017, we have been dedicated to delivering safe, ethical, and legally compliant hunting experiences across Pakistan — from the golden dunes of our southern deserts to the rugged high mountains of the north.

Our work spans three landscapes — desert, riverine, and high mountain — each under its own permits and seasons, each guided by the same standards of legality, safety, and respect for the wildlife we pursue.

02Where We Operate

Three
landscapes.

From sea-level dunes to peaks above 14,000 feet, our teams move across three distinct theatres of operation — each with its own permitting, its own seasonal window, and its own demands on a hunter.

— I

Desert Dunes

Balochistan & Sindh

Vast dune systems, gravel plains, and thorn scrub where our teams navigate remote tracks and seasonal wadis. We work with local guides for access, safety, and precise species location — setting up comfortable desert camps and ensuring full compliance with provincial permits.

— II

Riverine Belts

Sindh & Punjab

Fertile floodplains and river-cut forests along the Indus and its tributaries. We plan around water levels and seasonal vegetation, coordinate closely with wildlife departments, and use boats and 4×4s for quiet entry to river islands, levees, and gallery woodlands.

— III

Northern Ranges

Hindu Kush & Himalaya

High-altitude valleys, steep scree, alpine meadows, and subalpine forests across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan. Our mountain hunts feature acclimatization schedules, expert spotters, porter support, and robust safety protocols — always within legal quotas and community-managed conservancies.

03What We Offer

End-to-end,
field-tested.

Every expedition is run by guides with first-hand knowledge of the terrain, species behaviour, and the paperwork. Six commitments shape how we work.

— 01

Legally Permitted Hunts Only

Every hunt is aligned with current provincial and federal wildlife regulations and operates strictly within published season windows.

— 02

Expert, Field-Tested Guides

Local guides with deep knowledge of terrain, species behaviour, and safety — the kind of expertise that comes only from years on the ground.

— 03

End-to-End Logistics

Permits and paperwork, ground transport, camp setup or lodge stays, field equipment guidance, trackers and porters — handled in full.

— 04

Safety First

Risk planning, route assessments, and adherence to best practices for high altitude, remote terrain, and changing mountain weather.

— 05

Tailored Itineraries

Solo hunters, small groups, and families are each planned for individually, with dedicated options and language support for international clients.

— 06

Ethical Approach

Spot-and-stalk principles, strict quota adherence, and responsible trophy caping, field care, and documentation from the first morning to the last.

04Commitment

Legality
& conservation.

Sustainable trophy hunting works only when it is honest. Our standards are not a marketing line — they are the operating rules of the company.

  • — 01

    We only guide hunts that are explicitly allowed under provincial and federal regulations. Where the law does not permit a hunt, we do not run one — regardless of the trophy on offer.

  • — 02

    We help clients secure the correct permits and follow all species and area-specific rules, from CITES paperwork down to community conservancy entry fees.

  • — 03

    We promote sustainable trophy hunting that supports active wildlife management and the long-term viability of game species across Pakistan's varied ecosystems.

05In-House Taxidermy

From the field
to export.

We operate our own taxidermy studio, staffed by three professional taxidermists dedicated to museum-grade care. Every trophy is handled under strict chain-of-custody and quality standards.

Services
Precision skinning, fleshing, salting, drying, skull maceration and cleaning, horn-and-core separation and preservation, oiling, and finish work.
Export Readiness
Proper dip-and-pack, pest treatment, labelling, and moisture control; custom crating engineered for international transit.
Compliance & Documentation
Coordination of permits and health certificates, CITES where applicable, and all required export/import paperwork.
Timelines & Tracking
Clear schedules, status updates, and liaison with your preferred shipping agent or our own vetted logistics partners.
06The Team

The people
in the field.

Hunting Experts is small by design. The same people who plan your hunt are the people you will meet at the trailhead — four professionals between Lahore and Simshal, with first-hand experience of every species we guide for.
