Dear Fellow hunters... I just want to point out that it is illegal in Namibia to hunt without a Professional Hunter (PH), Hunting Guide or Master Hunting Guide... On top of that, each three of the above mentioned levels of licensed guides/PH's need an additional qualification to be able to...

Thank you all for the feedback! Its dearly appreciated! Our current daily rate is $395 & $1800 a Kudu bull... The sizes you could expect is 51+ inch kudu to 56 inches, and if you're willing to work hard 58+ incher is doable.

One question still remains; What in your opinion is a "good" price for a Greater Kudu bull hunted on a free range area on foot?

I agree 100%!!! I was wondering what is the general feel out there towards that.

Dear AH.com Hunting Buddies I am a worried man about our Greater Kudu populations here in Namibia... Majorly because most farmers/ranchers that I talked to throughout Namibia said that their Greater Kudu populations aren't the same anymore. They are decreasing in number slowly but surely over...

Wheels I don't think anyone in Namibia will ever have "enough" rain... ;) But yes, much less than average, but hopefully we will pull through.

Dear Friends I thought I would take the time to let you know how our 2016 hunting season at Kowas Hunting Safaris is doing so far. We are situated 140km south-east of Namibia's capital city Windhoek. The rainy season hasn't treated us that well this season, but we are glad that we have grass...

Two and a half sun-beaten, dehydrated and dusty days of glassing and tracking turned into a day that will be told and retold around campfires for decades to come. My good friend Joseph von Benedikt brought his twin brother and two great friends Dan & Paul along on their first African Safari...

Thank you all for the kind comments... CAustin, our average rainfall per season in south eastern Namibia, in the Dordabis area is about 10 inches. During the article we received about 2 inches. Which is a drop in a bucket, BUT the lands here appreciate every drop. Especially with the first...

In all corners of Namibia, during December to February farmers and ranchers stare crinkly-eyed to the north, hoping to see a build-up of cumulus nimbus that may bring divine relief to the baked white land. The scorching heat at this time presses down on your chest, as if carrying a heavy...

This is fantastic...! Now there will be much better control of what is harvested. We as "trophy hunters" have the responsibility to promote sustainable utilization of our natural resources by means of harvesting mature leopard males that cannot reproduce anymore. That is what trophy hunting IS...

Welcome to AH! Regards Jacques

Jerome What about DSC's Outfitter of the year award? The one that Hunters Namibia Safaris has won, and then Omujeve Safaris... My best Jacques

Hi All I just want to make it very clear that NO leopard hunting with hounds are allowed in Namibia, not even problem leopards, not even when a leopard is wounded... My best Jacques Strauss
