Silence is not a good thing.
Try Okatjuru, they have been in business longer than all of this group put together, see our site for an overview.

Die Ou JagterVaughan Fulton who post here has been highly recommended by many posters. I leave Sunday to hunt with him.

SunshineWhy don't you contact MAKADI SAFARIS (Katja and Diethelm Metzger)?
It's impossible to go wrong with them. Difficult to imagine that there is a better outfitter in Namibia
kamab@iafrica.com.na or
johnbdds@aol.com (US agent)

HunterJimCewe,
Have you tried the NAPHA web site for references?
Namibia has three classes of hunting licenses for outfitters/PHs, ranging from someone who can hunt on their own farm to a fully-qualified PH. Prices range accordingly.
I book for two of the latter, Jan Oelofse and John Wambach. They are among the best in Namibia. I also know Vaughan Fulton from the days when he was a PH for Jan -- he is a good PH and those hunting with him and reporting here had good hunts.
There are other really excellent operations in Namibia, I know some of them. I don't happen to know these people you are asking about, but there are a lot of operations hunting there.
My wife have booked a pair of hunts in '05 with Jan and John, we love Namibia. Of course we love Africa too!

I am in the same boat, Erongo looked good. but the best offer I have received was from Uhlenhorst hunting safaris.
I am not looking for a 3-4 star lodging. Just hunting true "wild" animals. I will email you some of the best offers I have received if you like.

ceweCome on guys I need your experience!
Has anyone hunted with any of the following:
Erongo Lodge, Kataneno bindings, Van Heerden Safaris or Sunshine safaris.
I�ve received good offers from them all and am trying to make up my mind which one to choose!
