Namibia Leopard and Plains Game Hunt #288

Namibia Leopard and Plains Game Hunt #288

One of our retired outfitters (Russ), who over the years has become a trusted friend, recently called us about a Namibian operation where he has spent about 300 days hunting ! He hunted with the PH (Francois). Obviously we paid a lot of attention, since Russ knows his trade and is a very sharp guy. Francois had also previously done Leopard for an extremely prestigious Namibian outfitter, (one we do also book for). Now he has started his own business and with 300 days of hunting done with our buddy, Russ, we clearly know this guy delivers! Very simply it is clear this new PH has superb skills, and most importantly, he does all the guiding himself.

In terms of location and size, his area is located in Southern Namibia, south of Windhoek about a 4 hour drive from Windhoek. He is located on the fringe of the desert and the mountains and you will be hunting a total of 400,000 acres! So you are surrounded by desert and mountains- a very unique hunt taking place in a very ancient and very different area then most of us are used to. And Namibia is one of the most stable and safest countries in Africa- take your wife, kids- it’s all a blast. And there are many things we can arrange to keep them entertained! See Activities at end.
LODGING: Between the dune belt of the Namib dessert to the west and the escarp to the vast eastern plains, they built their camp. They have 5 hunter’s huts with en-suite baths. Clean, comfortable and very well maintained. As usual in Africa, you get maximum privacy, but are still close to the central boma and swimming pool, and the main lounge and main building, shown below. Standby waiters, daily laundry, keypad safes in the rooms, 24 hour tea and coffee, and limited wi-fi.

Here is a quote from our buddy Russ: Butch, Almost forgot to mention, for those clients of yours who would like a spot and stalk hunt in the desert Mountains for free range Hartmanns Zebra, this operation has many of them. They are running around like rats. I hunt them every time I go over because it is such a great hunt in such spectacular scenery. It is like hunting Mule Deer or Elk in Southern Colorado or northern New Mexico. A must do, and no problem with the CITES paperwork. Later……Russ

TRANSPORT: Expect to overnight in Windhoek on your day of arrival. This way you leave fresh and rested for the drive to camp. Usually clients stay at the Arebusch Travel Lodge. Rates are under $100 including breakfast. He does charge $300 round trip, to defray the high gas costs of the 4 hour trip to the camp. Due to the 4 hour drive you typically get 5 ½ days of hunting on a 7 day trip, meaning you will hunt the afternoon of your arrival at camp.

TAXES: You must pay taxes (VAT) on the daily rate at 15%. This is an extra paid on departure to the outfitter.
DAILY RATE: If you opt to go on a day rate and pay separate trophy fees, rather then book a package hunt, then your cost for a 1 X1 hunt is $380 Per day , excl VAT. Cost for 2X1 hunts: $300 excluding the 15% vat.
OBSERVERS: They pay $150/day, excluding the 15% Vat which is separate.
