Has anyone hunted with Boet Nel Safaris in Namibia or have any references to their effect? I have looked at their website and they list Leopard and Mtn. Zebra, the two things that would draw me to Namibia. Any help or comments on this operation would be most appreciated. Thanks and have a great day!!

I've been told some seriously negative things about Boet Nel. And have the impression that there are some legal issues going on with his hunting operation. Unfortunatly, I don't know the detail, but maybe someone else does.

If you do a search for Boet Nel on AR you will find many who hunted with him. Many seemed to like him.

I also seem to remember like ErikD, that there was a thread not too long ago about a bad hunt with him and that were some legal issues going on with him.

I personally hunted with Boet Nel in June of 05 and I can not say enough good about him. He held up his end of the deal in every way and went out of his way to go even further. I have heard that a "disgruntled" hunter was pissed at him over something. Sounds to me like a "spoile" hunter. I have become very good friends with Boet and I think he is very honest and straight forward. When he says something, it gets done. He had our trophies to us withn 3 months after getting back to Alaska. You can email me at grizzkiller@yahoo.com for any further comments.

I don't know about him or his methods, but I did notice that he had numerous entries in Namibia's record books.

I just recently read the report of complaints against Boet Nel. I enjoyed my time with him and yes it was my only time to Africa, but Boet treated us very well and I enjoyed each and every second of the hunt. Boet has his own personality and maybe he might rub some people wrong, but he was great for us. His other guide Brian was AWESOME for my father too.
