    NAMIBIA: Caprivi Buffalo Hunts in Namibia with Van Heerden Safaris

    No I was not looking to shoot one this time, so we did not go looking, but they are definitely there if you want one. I can imagine it would be quite an exciting and slightly dangerous hunt slipping thru the reed swamp in a dugout,.. always on the look out for rogue hippos and crocs!!

    Plastic wrapping luggage and gun cases

    I just came back from Namibia via Frankfurt and my bag zipper was popped open and my camera missing even though I had paddlocked the zipper. My advice on Africa is to use a lockable hard case (not a soft zipper style bag) and shrink wrap it where possible before checking in. Also take your...

    Why is Africa’s Wildlife in Protected Areas in Widespread Decline?

    Thanks for posting this important article Jerome, Once again the science outweighs the unscientific, emotional "ethical" arguments against hunting. I only wish that all the western world "do-gooder doing bad" environmentalists would realise that banning hunting has the opposite effect to...

    Hunting in New Zealand

    Hey GWH, thanks for the advice on NZ. I'm thinking maybe August for a Thar so I get the winter coat, as it is truly spectacular. How's about posting some pics of your 4 Thar bulls so we can all see them. I have a brother farming on a south island hill station near Waikaia so will go with him for...

    G'day from an Aussie Hunter

    Hi GWH, I'm a kiwi living in the UK. I lived in Melbourne for 8 yrs. I've hunted both RSA & Namibia for plains game. RSA is great, especially for novice hunters but mainly game ranches. Namibia is spectacular and probably more authentic, especially in tribal area concession area hunts, than...

    What is the best country for a first time hunting safari?

    Fair Chase hunting Kelly, You are obviously an experienced hunter and I totally agree with what you say about the dominance of game farms/ranches and how few outfitters offer true "free range" "fair chase" hunting. Living in the UK, and I must admit as a newcomer to the sport, I was a bit...

    What is the best country for a first time hunting safari?

    Namibia vs South Africa I would tend to agree with Enysse's opinion on Namibia vs South Africa having hunted plains game in both. But it really depends on how experienced a hunter you are? What species you want to hunt? and What style of hunting you expect? Can't comment on Zimbabwe, but...

    What is the best country for a first time hunting safari?

    Namibia vs South Africa Hi Kelly, yeah I guess level of crime is a relative thing. I live in the UK where the general populace is unarmed and we generally don't expect to get held up at gunpoint, whereas in the US things are obviously a lot more hairy!! In addition to my hunt, I took my...

    What is the best country for a first time hunting safari?

    I would generally agree with Skyline's opinion, having hunted both South Africa and Namibia for plains game. My only reservation relates to the comment about taking our spouses with us hunting, in that although you are relatively safe in hunting areas, I have been advised by South Africans, that...
