[lockingblock]

Any updates? Not open?

Looks like maybe an interesting development in this. In the summer DSC auction guide there is an auction for hunting 3 game farms in Angola.

I found on another site,
Apparently an auction for Angola hunt is open in 4 days, Three ranches: Carivo game farm (2 x kudu, 1 x warthog), Green ox ranch ( 2 x waterbuck, 1 x eland), Onyati game farm (1 x eland).
None of those ranches I can find on internet.
Well, if true, it is a modest start, lets hope it kicks off!

It is a humble start but still a great achievement. Hopefully it will work out and Angola's people and wildlife will benefit from it. Definitely something I will watch carefully.

For almost 20 years I am hearing about hunting in Angola without anything really happening. There was even talk of hunting the rare Giant sable antelope. We continue to dream, just like about hunting in India.

Seems like the ball is finally rolling lets hope it doesn't hit a termite mount.

Hunting areas are more likely to be lost than new ones are added.

Or a landmine….

Let's just hope that security is good! Also, that the land mines of years of civil war have been cleared.
They were working hard to clear them for years and in 2024 when I hunted the Caprivi Strip in Namibia
they were still having issues with loss of elephants that would migrate north across the river to catch the early rains stepping on land mines.

I hunted in the Caprivi Strip on the Angolan border in the late 1990s. There were "Do not enter. Mines" signs everywhere. If you know how haphazardly mines are laid in Africa, you can imagine how haphazardly they are also cleared.
