Elephant Hunting Trips
Species: Elephant
Location: Namibia
Methods: Rifle
Dates: February-October
The majority of our elephant hunts are tracking hunts. These hunts can be physically taxing, so come as well prepared as possible. On any normal day, we would drive around in likely places, visiting waterholes, driving cut lines or roads, looking for suitable tracks. On finding the right kind of track, heading in the right direction, we will fill a backpack or two with water, and follow the tracks to try and catch up to the targeted elephant, to assess the trophy quality. If suitable, we will try and get the hunter into a good shooting position for a good, clean kill. As a rule of thumb, be prepared to walk at least 3 miles per day.
We offer 2 kinds of elephant hunts, namely non-export elephant hunts and exportable trophy bull hunts. On the non-export elephant hunts, we will typically target old post-productive cows, broken tusked or genetically weak bulls, or whatever the situation demands. (Some of these hunts are to provide meat for local community festivals.) As there are a lot of close-in stalks on these hunts, they tend to be very good value for money for someone who wants to experience elephant hunting and not take a trophy home. These hunts are only available on the communal conservancies. Trophy bull elephant hunts must rank as the best hunting experience available out there. We offer these hunts on both our communal conservancies and our Park area.

A second animal of the same specie will be charged at an increased trophy fee, usually 200% of trophy fee.
Not all of the species above are available in each hunting area.
These species may also attract a concession fee if booked inside the park area.
Stated safari price includes day fees, VAT and concession fees.
Safari duration is the number of hunting days indicated, plus 2 travel days.

All hunts are offered as packages and are species specific.
