ARCHITECT, HUNTER, OUTFITTER

Fernando Saiz (nicknamed Nano) was born and raised in Spain and worked as an architect from 1970 to 1985. In 1975, he started a hunting company with some friends, and also went on his first safari to Kenya (and that should make everyone reading this jealous).  In 1985, he retired from architecture and started Fernando Saiz – Spain full-time. He hasn’t looked back!

HUNTING COMPANY MISSION
