Plains Game Hunt Advice

[Kieran222]

Hi, I'm new to the forum and looking into options for a Plains Game hunt, a mixture of cull and Trophy animals over about 7 hunting days sometime around Q3 or Q4 of 2026. I have been to RSA and want to go somewhere different (no high fences). I have done a very challenging ibex hunting a few months ago so am prepared for a challenging hunt, and would hate to just drive round and shoot stuff off a pickup. I would be bringing my 27 year old daughter and would like to agree a package hunt that we could hunt between us. Not really looking for luxury lodges, I would rather spend the money on hunting.
I would possibly bring my own rifle but that will depend on logistics so could do with some advice on that as well. I have a 308 which I think should be fine for what we would be hunting. I'm based in the UK.
While I enjoyed RSA, I definitely want to go somewhere else as life is too short to go back to the same country.

Definitely contact Philip Hennings at @KHOMAS HIGHLAND HUNTING SAFARIS

I completely agree with @Mekaniks.

It sounds like a perfect fit for you and your daughter. Tough mountain hunting.

Say you don’t want to shoot from the truck and you will regret not bringing a camel pack water canister.

It’s low fence as these are old and current cattle ranch operation properties. Crawling with oryx and mountain zebra and warthogs, steenbok, duiker, brown heyena, leopard, wildebeest

Kudu live in the hill and if you get lucky a mature bull is always a treat. There are some big oryx bulls around.

Namibia is what you want. Lot of good Namibian sponsors here as a starting point. Rifle import into Namibia is extremely easy. It’s issued in 5 minutes on arrival.

Besides it being easy it’s the only place I haven’t been asked for a bribe by the police

Khomas Highlands, Namibia – May 2025

​

A New Continent. A New Challenge.

After months of planning, gear checks, and anticipation, I touched down in Namibia for my first African hunt. This wasn’t just a box-checking trip — it was about the experience, the terrain, the people, and testing my skills in a place where everything felt wild. Our flight path took us from Dallas/Fort Worth > Newark > Johannesburg> Windhoek — 21 total hours of airtime.

Thread 'NAMIBIA: Return For Damara Dik Dik With KHOMAS HIGHLAND HUNTING SAFARIS'

May 30, 2025

I first Hunted in Namibia 2 years ago with my father and friends. Thanks to this form we had a great first hunt with @KHOMAS HIGHLAND HUNTING SAFARIS

I convinced my good friend @JINKLE to go with me one day soon, so we made a pact. I knew this was a great opportunity for me to return to Namibia and try to take a unique little antelope from a country I have great interest in.

The Damara Dik Dik is a sub species of Kirk’s Dik Dik;
which is commonly found in east Africa mainly Tanzania. But all the way across the continent disconnected from his eastern cousins…lives the Damara...

Just hunt with Philip. The terrain is incredible and he’s a long time site sponsor. I’ve sent a handful of people to go just on my word.


I’m just a happy customer. I was Lucky to find this sight 2 years before my first trip. A lot of smart people recommend Namibia and Philips organization.

Lots of great sponsors on AH, talk to several of them and you’ll find something that works for you.

Q3 is okay but I wouldn’t recommend a Q4 hunt. Too hot.

Yes, it will be early September. Any time later looks too hot.

Kambaku near Otjiwarongo in Namibia is worth a look as well. It is fenced, but a very large fenced area. Excellent PHs, a choice of a comfortable hotel owned by the same people or a very nice bush camp.

They have a lot of UK guests and a very sound, ethical operation. We did drive in to areas but all the hunting was on foot and sometimes with very long walks involved.

Eco Hunter is an outfitter offering what you are looking for as well. I am currently trying to book through them.

Very happy to speak to you if you PM me.

I would throw Zimbabwe into the conversation. Nuanetsi Ranch is a fantastic plainsgame destination with DG available as well. Save Valley conservancy has good plainsgame as well. Outfitters to talk to are Mokore safaris and Thierry Labat PM me for contact details. Also other outfitters that are fantastic in both areas but I know those two personally and would recommend them .Mokore can also do Mozambique, some of the best plainsgame hunting I have seen.
