Welcome to AH, cost of entry is a report on your fist Safari that got you addicted.
I will do that thank youThe wife and I have been to Kowas 4 times. Great place and people. If you would like to talk about them just PM me and we can set something up. Not like we got anything else to do!!![]()
Thanks very helpfulI hunted with Kowas in May of 2019 and could not have had a better experience and would without ANY hesitation hunt with them again. I researched outfitters for more than two years before deciding to book our trip with Kowas. Many, many people on this website have made the same choice.
I was worried about the drought I did some reading on thatWelcome aboard!
I've only hunted the African continent once and that was with Kowas in Namibia so my experience compared to other outfitters/locations pretty limited.
That being said, I wouldn't hesitate to go back there again. The Strauss family are great people and the staff are also wonderful. Nice living area, great food. Animals were abundant from my limited experience, drought has been an issue lately and may effect game populations.
Growing up in Montana and then living in idaho the last 25 years I have always just hunted out my back door and have had a lot of different animals to chase. But I went on one south African safari in 2017 which was amazing and I caught the bug big time! I hunted 10 days in the limpop0 area. It was great and we had a lot of large concessions to hunt. the smallest was 10000 acres so the hunting was great and the fences didn't bother me. I do want to go back with my son (17) and hunt truly free ranging African animals without the fence. I have been looking at kowa safaris. Does anyone have any experience with them? Since it would be my sons first trip I want him to have a similar experience as I had in Limpopo where it seemed like there was game everywhere. What should my expectations be in quantity and quality of game? Anyways I would appreciate any feedback from people have on kowa safaris that have been with them.
Thanks ! Appreciate itHi Rod,
I hunted with the Strauss' at Kowas in 2016 and can reccommend them without reservation. We had a fantastic time, the hunting was amazing and we were very well looked after. The quality of trophies was first class. They have one area around the main lodge (16000 acres) which is game fenced and the rest of their massive Dordabis conservancy is low-fence cattle country. Or they have the option of their camp in the national park in the north of Namibia for a true wilderness experience.
Either way book with confidence.
Cheers
Tim
Thanks was there a lot of different species of plains game available in good numbers in the mukango camp? That is their only area that is available during our time frame. What part of Idaho will you be hunting?
I am looking forward to being in Idaho in October for my first elk and mule deer hunt.
I have had the amazing experience of hunting with Kowas three times. The first two times was at the Dordabis Conservancy and last July I was hunting in their Mukango Camp on the Kavango River up in the Caprivi Strip. You will have an amazing African experience with Team Kowas.
