Tips to staff

Air Namibia scheduled flights: from Eros Airport in Windhoek to Mpacha Airport in Katima Mulilo (approx. $450.00, return trip). Flights depart from Windhoek in the morning and return from Katima in the afternoon. Currently flights are on Mondays - Sundays except Saturdays. The price of this flight might be drastically reduced when booked in connection with an Air Namibia flight from Frankfurt, Germany to Windhoek, well in advance. The accommodation in Windhoek on arrival and departure day is highly recommended as Air Namibia changes the Katima flights' schedule very often and the flight is regularly not on time.

Additional trophy fees:
Kudu USD 1,450.00
Burchell's Zebra USD 1,250.00
Common Impala USD 700.00
Grey Duiker USD 500.00
Warthog USD 500.00
Chacma Baboon USD 150.00
Jackal USD 150.00
Spotted Hyena USD 1,150.00


Info on the Own Use (O/U) or Traditional Authority (T/A) elephant, buffalo & hippo hunts:

O/U or T/A animals officially means that the animal can be hunted by the conservancy for the meat value only. As we do not want the members of the conservancy to run around and just shoot anything, we have bought the quota from them. This way the conservancy generates some money as well from such animals (idea of paying for these animals came from WWF). Usually these hunts take place around conservancy meetings or traditional authorities' festivals. As the O/U & T/A quota in Dzoti is quite big, we also do the hunts in the time the animals do a lot of damage to the crop fields to satisfy the community.

The animals are hunted legally on an own use hunting permit authorized by nature conservation. Nothing can be exported. It is an opportunity for hunters, to hunt big game, or for big game hunters that want to hunt these animals for the hunting experience.

There is no difference between O/U and T/A, that concerns the client. It is only political details between the ministry of environment and the conservancy. The conservancy informs us if we have to deliver meat to the community, or if the meat has to go to the traditional palace (a grass hut like all others....)
