Went hunting there in May , took my wife and Son had a very successful and enjoyable hunt .They took my wife and son on great horseback tour and photo tour. Every one there connected on the animals they were after and all have planned a return trip in 2023. Had set this hunt up with Philip for a long time hunting Buddy that had Parkinsons. After sending his deposit he fell and was not going to be able to make the hunt now or in the future. I returned his deposit and took the hunt. One of my friends that went in 2019 mentioned he would like to hunt the Leopards there. Errens of Dammab Safaris an Associate of Philips who had served as my PH on the prior hunts called wit an opportunity for Leopard. He also said that the best opportunity was going to be the following week. Stacy accepted , I got the ticketts and we were on our way. After being cancelled and spending the night in Ethiopia we were there. I started my plains game hunt with Philip and Stacy went with Errens for Leopard. The first afternoon I got a 39 1/2 inch Eland with massive bases. The next morning we were after Waterbuck, shortly into the morning we got a text from Errens (BOOM) meaning they got the Leopard. On the way there on the plane we were talking to a hunter with another Namibian Outfitter , he had sat for 102 hrs. and never saw a Cat. Stacy's hunt was over in a few hrs. Old Tom Teeth missing body going down hill a beautiful trophy. Stacy then shot an Eland almost as big as the one I took . The following day we went together, we pulled out crossed the river and 300 yrds Waterbuck Me and Errens got of walked 300 yrds and a 28inch Waterbuck. We Loaded it took it to skinners and went for Stacy's Giraffe. Drove for maybe 30 minutes Ralphy said there he is. Errens and Stacy got off stalked close with us watching. An old bull know as a Stink bull and the rest of the day was spent skinning. The next morning me and Errens stalked for about an 11/2 hrs. Nyala. That afternoon We went to another area stalked for about 2 hrs. Red Lechewe. Thought real hard about a Sable. We then had several days of the 14 day hunt left so we started enjoying Namibia Hospitality. We went to the Skeleton Coast Fishing for Shark . Big Fishing Tournement but water was to ruff for fishing . Met some really nice people had a fantastic BBQ , and saw sight no where else. This is my 3rd. trip hunting with @KHOMAS HIGHLAND HUNTING SAFARIS , and I can honestly say, they get better every time. I would recommend them to anyone.
