Hunting in Fish River Canyon Namibia?

[mark-hunter]

Has anybody been hunting in Fish River Canyon in Namibia?
I am interested to know about the type of terrain, game hunted, or seen? Fences or no fences?
General prices etc?

It is supposed to be real free range, free roaming, no roads, no fences hunt? Or not?
Are the prices and daily rates generally higher then elswhere. or similar?

Any info is highly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi Mark

I grew up close to it, and still hunt some on the sheep farms around there. Technically you cannot hunt IN the Canyon, but you can certainly hunt close to it. Game you are likely to encounter are mountain zebra, kudu, gemsbok, springbok, duiker, steenbok, klipspringer, baboon, black backed jacal and if you are extremely lucky, leopard. Here's a few pics of a hunt me and a friend did on a low fenced farm close to the canyon last year.

It is actually much more mountainous than it looks from the pics, but it does form these big flat platues as can be seen from above.
