Hunting
Your classic spot and stalk safari will be conducted in an ethical manner with mature animals as the goal of every hunt. Most amazingly, you and/or your group will enjoy these properties exclusively during your safari! No other guests or hunters will be on the property or at the lodge during your stay unless you request differently.
Hunters typically depart from the lodge as it begins to break first light in the morning and in most cases will return to the lodge for lunch before heading back out in the afternoon. This is one of the largest plains game concessions in Africa making it a truly wild hunt.
Your experienced professional hunters will cater to your schedule and desires. It is not uncommon to see hundreds of game each and every day on safari.
Children on safari need not worry! These professional hunters are accustomed to patiently teaching children of all ages safety, proper shooting techniques, stalking techniques and ethical standards of hunting. There is no better place in the world to learn to hunt or hone in your hunting skills than in Africa!
Excellent rifles are available for use in case you choose to forego traveling with guns. Youth models in various calibers are available as well.
Bow Hunting: Best time – September/October
Numerous hides and blinds are located on the main camp property for bow hunters. A typical shot would be 20-25 yards from a blind. Spot and stalk bow hunting for the accomplished bow hunter is also available.
You will be accompanied by a bow hunting professional hunter.
PH’s (Professional Hunters) and Vehicles:
A qualified and experienced Namibian Professional Hunter will accompany you on your hunt at all times, and may do so with a maximum of two hunting clients per P.H. at a time. Every client returns raving over their PH at this location. They are knowledgeable and full of fantastic stories!

Changing Generations
Africa is our home and our heritage. We acknowledge the fact that it is our duty as safari operators to uplift, support and preserve not only the area in which we operate, but also to act as custodians and ambassadors on behalf of the hunting community worldwide. We believe that through well-regulated and sustainable hunting practices we can contribute to Africa’s socio-economic development and growth, and in turn create a more favourable environment for investors, traders and travellers to visit and generate revenue. Therefore, we join hands with other operators, hunting associations and pro-hunting organisations to cultivate a constructive worldwide industry that ultimately influences Africa, its people and its wildlife positively.
Furthermore, we conserve our wildlife through:
- working cooperatively on all levels with National Parks boards, conservation bodies, wildlife researchers and environmental departments on conservation issues;
- training, managing and supplying anti-poaching units with the latest equipment to protect our endangered and other indigenous species;
- providing aircrafts and/or helicopters to assist with anti-poaching aerial surveys;
- developing and executing fire management programs;
- game counting and setting of sustainable hunting quotas in cooperation with governing bodies; and
- implementing additional hunting protocols above and beyond the legal scope in order to ensure the long term sustainability and longevity of the areas concerned
