First African Adventure

[etsonaut]

Relatively new to the site. I am looking to make my first trip to Africa this year. Interested primarily in Buffalo, Eland, Kudu, Waterbuck and maybe a few other opportunistic species. Wife will be making the trip as well so camp comfort is important. My initial considerations are Namibia, S. Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe. I am seeking suggestions and/or references on outfitters and locations. Thanks in advance!

From the perspective of someone who has only hunted Africa once, but fairly recently (2021) I can recommend Aru Game Lodges in Namibia. They do camp comfort very well.

They have two large hunting properties in central Namibia, each with their own character. Veronica is more flat, and I found the "seas" of grassland to be mesmerizing in their beauty. Kalakwa is more rocky and mountainous. That was also fun. You can hunt eland, kudu and waterbuck at Kalakwa.

As far as I know they also offer buffalo, but for that they have access to a camp in the Caprivi area. I haven't been there.

[Bos en Dal SAFARIS]

Welcome @etsonaut

Please feel free to contact me if you need more information about our operation and what we can offer you and your wife on your dream safari. We are in a safe environment only 2 hours west of Johannesburg international airport. We are situated just far enough from the city of Rustenburg to truly experience the African bush and wildlife but close enough to many non-hunting activities should you feel like doing something other than hunting.

My personal best
Gerrit
