About Us

Southern Wild is a retail store owned by Mark and Leonie Sanders.  

Born and bred in the South Island of New Zealand, Mark and Leonie spent five years traveling the world before making Wanaka their home in 1998, they have three daughters and use every opportunity they can to get out into the great back yard we are so lucky to have here on our doorstep.

Originally owning a café, they bought into their true passion - Fishing, Hunting & all things outdoors in 2006. They are committed to supplying their customers with the very best service and knowledge they can give.
