Picture a man that has been mauled by a Leopard and attacked by a Buffalo. A man that holds many SCI records and has been a Professional Hunter for over 42 years, and a man that has successfully tracked and recovered more animals than many hunters have ever laid eyes on. Meet Jeff Rann.
Jeff, the owner of the legendary 777 Ranch, is a man who truly lives for the hunt. He will stop at nothing to ensure that his clients get what they came for. He is driven by adrenaline and thrives on the adventure of the hunt. He has had the privilege of hunting with Kings, Presidents, Generals, movie stars, rock stars, and world-leading businessmen. He also produced The African Adventure Video series and the first video with Peter Hathaway Capstick. Jeff cut his teeth on dangerous game hunting on the Dark Continent and made quite a name for himself in the process. According to him, “Sharing a dangerous game experience with someone creates a bond that can last a lifetime”
Jeff has had the 777 under his regime since 2002 and has only grown the tradition. To-date, the ranch has more record book entries than any other outfitter in the world in its 50 years of existence. To make things more interesting, the ranch has also been the filming destination of choice for many Hollywood producers with movies such as Ace Ventura Pet Detective – When Nature Calls and most recently, Syriana, staring: George Clooney and Matt Damon. If you haven’t yet had the pleasure of hunting with Jeff Rann at the 777, you owe it to yourself to book a trip. Your next adventure awaits!
