Dear all,

I am planning a week of plainsgame hunting in the conservancy end of May 2014.

It is to be tent-based and to be done mainly on foot with bushman trackers (and PH Sigi from Zighenzani).

Does anyone know the area and has hunted there? any advice, reports, pictures etc. would be greatly appreciated.

best regards and many thanks

I can't be of much help but this sounds like a very interesting hunt. I've never heard of anyone hunting there exclusively for plainsgame although my PH back in 2007 did inquire with Kai-Uwe about us hunting eland there but it this was not the best location for eland and we ended up hunting outside Otavi instead.

I would strongly suggest you getting your hands on the book "Along the Hunters Path" by Kai-Uwe Denker. If I remember correctly much of the book is about neighboring Khaudum but it should provide some good insight to this pocket of Namibia nonetheless.

Good luck and I look forward to reading your reports next year.

George

thanks for the remarks!

I did read KUDs book but will have to read it again apparently. Isn't the book about the area more to the north? but I guess there is not too much difference.

regarding hunting there: I was asking for the mode of the hunt, not necessarily specific beasts.

any first-hand-experience about the area would be appreciated!
