Living, Loving, Hunting: Our Family Adventure in Mauritius
We are the pioneers. Since 2003, we have been the first to dedicate our lives, passion, and expertise to promoting world-class hunting in Mauritius.
We are the Lionel family, and our lives are deeply woven with a love for the outdoors, the thrill of the chase, and the joy of exploring the world together. From world-record Rusa deer hunting and exotic deep-sea fishing to trekking across the island’s most vibrant landscapes, we live and breathe the ultimate Mauritius outdoor adventures—and we do it all as a family.
The Legacy Behind the Hunt
At the helm is Lionel, the founder of Mauritius’ oldest specialized hunting company and the island’s premier expert guide for Rusa deer hunting in Mauritius. Lionel’s passion began at just three years old, trailing his father through the historic forests and mountains of France. Today, that legacy continues alongside his wife, Kathleen, who has been his partner in adventure and luxury client hospitality since 2006.
Lionel’s expertise extends far beyond the hunting grounds:
Industry Authority: A seasoned reporter for five prestigious international magazines.
Visual Storyteller: An official videographer for France’s leading hunting television channel, capturing the raw essence of the hunt.
Global Experience: Proudly guided over 1,000 hunters from 24 different nationalities.
For Lionel, being a professional hunting guide isn’t a job—it’s a calling. He thrives on the cross-cultural connections made in the field, creating shared adventures that transcend language and borders.
