@KHOMAS HIGHLAND HUNTING SAFARIS – OVERVIEW
MAY 9TH–17TH, 2025
OUTFITTER: PHILLIP HENNINGS
I want to start by saying this: Phillip Hennings is as honest and straightforward as they come. There’s no sugar-coating, no sales pitch—just the real deal. When you hunt with Phillip at Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris, you’re getting access to an incredible amount of diverse land and some of the highest-quality animals out there.
I hunted May 9th through the 17th and was blown away by the variety of terrain and the sheer scope of land Phillip has access to. This is true hunting—fair chase, glassing from ridgelines, and putting in real effort to earn each opportunity. It reminded me a lot of hunting the western U.S. on premium public land units. There aren’t 50 animals standing around every corner, and you don’t drive around picking which one to shoot. You hunt.
While I personally don’t care about scores, my hunting partner George is a certified SCI scorer. Between the two of us, we took 6 gold medal animals, 6 silver, and 4 bronze. I never scored my impala or kudu—honestly, I didn’t care if they would even qualify for bronze. I took the kudu because of his incredible width and the impala because he was an old, mature ram. Both meant something to me, and that’s what matters most.
THE LAND & HUNTING STYLE
Phillip’s areas range from flat bushveld to rolling hills and then into serious mountain terrain. If you want to see what a Land Cruiser is truly capable of—and get into some real-deal mountain hunting—ask to hunt your zebra on “John the Butcher’s” rocky mountains. It’s absolutely insane terrain and makes for a hunt you’ll never forget.
This isn’t a canned experience or a glorified shooting gallery. You’ll glass hard, walk into high points, and make strategic stalks. If you can shoot and enjoy the process of hunting—this is your place. The trophies will come, but you’ll earn them.
MY CREW
My PH was Adab, driver was Santos, and tracker was Mentos—and they were nothing short of dialed in. All three of them glassed non-stop and were an absolute joy to be around. Every time we needed to hike to a new glassing point, we were on it. They worked hard, had a great sense of humor, and made the hunt even more enjoyable. When I come back, I’ll be requesting the same crew without question.
PEOPLE AT CAMP
I also want to take a moment to mention two people who help Phillip and were living at the camp during my stay—Lynda and Rick. They were an absolute joy to be around. The couple has been married for over 40 years and has traveled all over the world. I spent countless evenings enjoying conversation with them—hearing about their experiences, stories from their adventures, and sharing a few laughs around the fire. People like them add a whole other layer to the trip, and I’m grateful our paths crossed.
PACKAGE & CUSTOMIZATION
I went with the Top Ten package, but I made a few swaps. I traded the steenbok for an impala and the warthog for a blesbuck, paying the difference. The flexibility in customizing the hunt was appreciated and made the experience even more tailored to what I wanted.
FINAL THOUGHTS
At the time of writing this, I’m still at Phillip’s place. My hunting is finished, but I have three days left here. I’ll be updating each of my hunting days with full write-ups soon. The trophy photos and stories of how each animal was taken will be posted as I get time to write them. Stay tuned—there’s more to come.
