I'm looking for a plains game hunt in either Namibia or South Africa with a reputable outfit with a proven track record where I have a good chance at a 50+inch Kudu, and where I might be able to bring my wife. I am hoping such an outfit would have options for her to participate in on days that she chooses not to accompany me out in the field. Any solid info would be appreciated | ||

PM Luan who posts here. He's very careful about how many kudu he takes off of his property but those he does take are mucking fonsters!  He'll also be able to lay on plenty of activities for your wife. | |||

Review Matwetwe Safaris. Hendrik Botha's operation is tops. May 13, 2011 I killed a 54" kudu (that was accompanied by another kudu trophy of similar size). | |||

I can highly recommend PH Jan du Plessis, Sebra Hunting Adventures in Namibia. Great area for big kudu, beautiful scenery. | |||

Not SA or Namibia but Botswana, try Clive Eatons ranch near Ghanzi. tholosafaris@gmail.com or I believe Wendell and maybe Mark Young book for him. He definately has kudu over 50 + inches. Price is right also | |||

My good friend Andre Viljoen hunts RSA in numerous places and is a small operator. Knows how to fit a hunt when bringing the wife along. www.besthunt.co.za Zinfandel and venison are GOOD! | |||

A second nod for Jan du Plessis, Sebra Hunting Adventures in Namibia. Several heavy kudu over 50 inches in all shapes and sizes. I preferred the wide, open curls and I got what I wanted. Also several 40+ inch Gemsbok bulls.  | |||

Shona Hunting Adventures in Namibia would be a good bet. My dad hunted with them last year and we are both hunting with them in 2012. The accomodations are outstanding and they can arrange all kinds of activities for non-hunters. My dad's wife absolutely loved it. My dad killed a 54" kudu and saw many other bulls during his hunt. Shona hunts the Kaoko-Etosha Conservancy well as private farms. http://www.shona-adventures.com/ Here's a link to my dad's trip report with Shona: http://forums.accuratereloadin...121072241#3121072241 ______________________ I don't shoot elk at 600 yards for the same reasons I don't shoot ducks on the water, or turkeys from their roosts. If this confuses you then you're not welcome in my hunting camp. | |||

If your looking for Kudu in the 55-60 inch range, you should consider the area, PH success rates over the last 3 years and cost. Many now charge surplus trophy fees according to length of horn. Time of year will matter greatly. If I can advise you on such a hunt, drop me a line.

Take a look at Cruiser safaris, they have fantastic Kudu, run a great camp and are priced very nice. They will take good care of you from before the hunt to after the hunt. Thanks!

Look no further and have a look at the offer we are currently running. $225 day rates 1x1 and $175 2x1 perfect for the father and son hunts. And observers at $150 per day. Just follow the link for further info. Kudu deal. Frederik Cocquyt I always try to use enough gun but then sometimes a brainshot works just as good. | |||

I second what CD Roxby said, contact Johann Veldsman and his Shona Hunting Adventures www.shona-adventures.com. He post here on AR as Shona. Johann runs a supreme outfit in a remote and breathtaking landscape. No fences and free roaming animals. We saw several kudus that was bigger than the one I finally took while we was there.e Read my hunting report "Shona Hunting Adventures, Namibia" on page two in Hunting Reports.  Arild Iversen. | |||

Thank you, all of you who replied to my post. I am looking to hunt in 2013. This will be my first, and probably only, trip to Africa. I am a working man, and have hunted all over North America by saving from week to week. I realized that the one thing left on my bucket list is a Greater Kudu, and it is time to take the steps to make it happen. I am not looking to go over and kill 12 animals in a week. I would be happy with just 3 or 4, with an impala, and maybe a Nyala added into the mix. If I were to go there, and just come back with a good Kudu, my with would be fulfilled. I guess that now I have some "homework" to do. Thanks for your help. | |||

Try Andre at Eitaalo Safaris in Namibia. Nice family, lots of fun for the hunter and spouse and I shot a 60 incher year before last. Check out Eitaalohuntingsafaris.com. ...I say that hunters go into Paradise when they die, and live in this world more joyfully than any other men. -Edward, duke of York ". . . when a man has shot an elephant his life is full." ~John Alfred Jordan "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero - 55 BC "The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities." - Ayn Rand Cogito ergo venor- KPete “It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages.” ― Adam Smith - “Wealth of Nations” | |||

I've hunted with John X Safaris 8 times in the past 20+ years in RSA. Can't say enough good things about them. I have 2 50"+ kudus on the wall I've taken with them. I've hunted with two generations of van Zijl's and consider them my friends. You can't go wrong here: http://hstrial-cvanzijl.homestead.com/ | |||
