About Us
We're South Africans who missed real biltong. So we started making it.
If you've never tried authentic South African biltong, you're in for a treat. And if you have tried it, you know exactly why we couldn't live without it.
Biltong isn't just another beef jerky. It's a 400-year-old South African tradition — air-dried beef marinated in vinegar and spices, with a flavor and texture that puts American jerky to shame.
When we moved to Florida, we searched everywhere for the real thing. What we found? "Biltong-style" jerky loaded with sugar, preservatives, and shortcuts. Nothing tasted like home.
So we did what any homesick South African would do: we started making our own.
What Makes Safari Snacks Different
🇿🇦 Authentic South African Recipes
Our recipes come straight from South Africa, passed down through generations. No shortcuts. No Americanized versions. Just real biltong the way it's supposed to taste.
🥩 USDA Choice Beef
We use only premium cuts — the same quality you'd expect from a high-end steakhouse. Because great biltong starts with great meat.
🌿 No Refined Sugars Added
Most beef jerky is loaded with sugar (5-9g per serving). Safari Snacks biltong has only ~1g of sugar from the Worcestershire sauce in our traditional marinade — no brown sugar, no corn syrup, no honey. Just real ingredients.
🏭 Made Fresh in Florida
Every batch is handcrafted in our FDACS-inspected, HACCP-compliant facility right here in South Florida. We air-dry our biltong slowly, just like it's done in South Africa, to lock in flavor and create that perfect tender texture.
✅ Simple Ingredients You Can Pronounce
Beef. Vinegar. Salt. Black pepper. Coriander. Garlic powder and red pepper flakes in spicy variation. That's it. No weird chemicals, no mystery ingredients, no BS.

From Farmers Markets to Your Door
