Kabulabula & Salambala (2 brothers that most of us sub lease from)
Sikunga (mine, Ndumo Safaris)
Bamunu (Felix Marnewicke)
2 smaller areas that has recently been gazetted, not sure who hunts them for the year
Dzoti (Hentie Cilliers a Franco Zwarts, nice guys)
Wuparo (Dawid Muller/ Daggaboy Safaris)
Balyerwa (My friend Mike Kibble)
Sobbe (mine/ Ndumo Safaris)
Mashi (Corne Kruger Omejeve, and I think Gysbert of Aru Game lodges has some quota there)
Majuni (shared area, between Omujeve and Jamy Traut)
Kwando conservancy(Jamy Traut)
Kwando core area / Bwabwata East (Allan Cilliers, IMO THE best Caprivi area)
Buffalo core area (Bwabwata West), HuntNamibia, Koos Pienaar and James Chapman, the second best area, but not far behind Bwabwata East, if at all.

There are a few upcoming areas as well, but these are the ones currently being hunted. Then my old area Khaudum North (now hunted by Vaughan Fulton), extends somewhat into the strip, but is considered more Kavango than Caprivi. (If you look at regional boundaries, the line between Kavango and Caprivi lies on the border between Bwabwata East and West, but if you look at the map, Bwabwata West is still in the strip, and so is Mahango core area (soon to be allocated.)

Hope this helps Roland.

Then there are a few Bushmanland areas south of Khaudum park, Mangetti reserve. (the best two being Nyae Nyae and West of Khaudum, with IMO the biggest elephants left in Africa, contact Stefan Jacobs for Nyae Nyae or myself of course and I will set it up. West of Khaudum not currently hunted.)

Then some of the Ovambo areas like Uukwaludi and Uukolonkadi and Ruacana also has elephants, but very small quotas, as does Eviropuko (sp?) and some desert areas like Torra.

We use Henti Van Heerden for our Namibian Elephant hunts. We have been very happy with the elephants being produced in the Dzoti area which as Carl previously stated Henti and Falco have. Ondjou has also produced well but doesn't have the variety of game that the Caprivi possesses. I have spent quite a bit of time personally in Sorris Sorris and a couple of the other Damaraland areas in which the Desert Elephants occur. The desert hunt is quite easy in terms of its overall physical nature. The desert bulls are not as large as the Caprivi and Hereoland bulls.
