Hunting Kalahari plains game — gemsbok (oryx), springbok, kudu, wildebeest and other Namibian species. Dangerous and big game on request.

Plains Game

Plains Game

Plains hunting in the Kalahari is the classic African safari: gemsbok (oryx), springbok, kudu, wildebeest, red hartebeest, eland, zebra and other species of the savanna and red dunes. Hunting is done spot-and-stalk: a professional hunter and tracker locate the animal, then you close in for the shot. It suits both beginners and experienced hunters — you can realistically take several species in a single trip. A 7.62-calibre rifle is enough for most trophies; larger antelope (eland, kudu) call for more power. We hunt in South Africa (classic bushveld) and Namibia (the Kalahari), and in Tanzania on request; the two main countries are South Africa and Namibia.

Countries & nature

Our main countries are Namibia and South Africa, with Tanzania on request. Namibia is the Kalahari and the Namib — red dunes, open plains and superb visibility for spot-and-stalk. South Africa is classic African bush: varied biomes from the Limpopo bushveld to the Cape mountains, a mild climate and a huge range of species from antelope to the Big Five — on private concessions with solid infrastructure and high trophy quality.

Dangerous Game

Dangerous and big game

Dangerous and big game is for serious hunters. It demands a powerful rifle, good fitness and steady nerves: the approach is often close, and the first shot is decisive. Arranged on request, including in specialised partner concessions, in strict compliance with licences and quotas.

Leopard

Leopard

Africa's most elusive trophy
  • from 10–14 daysOn request

The leopard is the most secretive and cunning of game: it sees and hears perfectly in the dark and moves in silence. It is usually hunted from a blind over bait, waiting quietly through long evenings and nights for the moment of a single precise shot. This is a hunt of patience and composure — 10 days minimum, ideally 14. One of the continent's most prestigious trophies.

Buffalo

Buffalo

The most aggressive of the Big Five
  • in partner concessionsOn request

A dangerous, unpredictable trophy. Buffalo keep to thick cover, so you must close to 30–80 metres for the shot. The dry season is best, when the animal is easier to find. You need a powerful rifle and steady nerves: a wounded buffalo is deadly. Many begin their collection of dangerous African trophies with the buffalo.

Lion

Lion

The king of beasts
  • in partner concessionsOn request

Hunting lion is one of the most thrilling and dangerous pursuits. Legend says a hunter fears the lion three times: when he sees the tracks, when he hears the roar, and when he sees the animal. It demands physical and mental readiness; the shot is always hugely responsible. Arranged in specialised concessions on request.

Elephant

Elephant

The largest of the Big Five
  • in partner concessionsOn request

The largest land trophy. The hunt is very dynamic and involves a lot of walking in the heat — good fitness matters. Shots are always at close range, 20–40 metres, so you must be 100% confident in your rifle: the first shot is decisive. Arranged on request.

Rhino

Rhino

Classic hunt or dart-safari
  • classic huntOn request
  • dart-safari (by licence)On request

The rhino can be taken on a classic hunt or as a dart-safari — a veterinary/conservation experience: under specialist supervision the animal is immobilised with a tranquiliser dart, measured and photographed, then comes round. Under the rules both options count as a closed Big Five trophy. Arranged strictly by licence and quota, in specialised partner concessions.
