In addition to excellent business delivery, Grant and Colette always extend a genuine Zululand welcome to customers and colleagues passing through Hluhluwe. Convivial evenings on the veranda have cemented many business relationships into long standing friendships. Our clients are our friends; they join us and become part of the Tracy & du Plessis family!

As a youngster Grant had the privilege of working as a labourer with a game capture team during school holidays where he gained an invaluable knowledge of capture operations and logistics.
In the late 1980s he joined the industry full time and co-founded a capture team that he managed for 5years. In 1994, Grant and the late Jerry du Plessis started Tracy & du Plessis Game Capture CC. This company has grown to be a world leading entity. Grant continues to push the boundaries with his innovative approach in an ever-changing environment. Today, Grant and Colette Tracy continue to run the company as a team, cementing relationships with many long standing and new clients throughout Southern Africa.

After several years in the field with the team, Colette now manages the home office and farm, working in tandem with Grant when he is on the road. Colette has a diploma in horticulture and with many years of bush experience behind her, any game held in the bomas on the farm is in capable hands.
