Just finished reading Kai Uwe Denker's book. It is very different to most hunting books in that firstly it is written of more recent times. There is also no text in the way of rifles to use, where the bullets hit the animal and so on.

What it does his offer is an insight into a true hunter's way of thinking and his way of doing things, regardless of what the client thinks or his comforts.

I get the impression he couldnt care too much whether the client is successful or not, and measures success in the chase and not in the actual killing at the end.

He believes in a very pure way of hunting where it is one on one with the animal and the elements. Talks of walking and walking and walking.

His clients have consistently shot some of the biggest tuskers going in recent times and I think this is by hunting solely on foot in very remote areas of Namibia were there are no roads and little human habitation.

It certainly is different, and a well written book.

I would imagine hunting with him would be a very different experience than with most safari outfitters !

Kai Uwe Denker is in my IMO the best Elephant Hunter now in Africa. He not only shot 2 Hundred pounder in the last 10 Years with his Clients he is also a very Ethic Hunter and true Conservationist. Not many Clients ( Landcruiser Hunter ) can follow him with his understanding of hunting but he do it the right way on foot.

How do you go about booking with him?
