Hunting Namibia: A Brief Hunting Survey of Namibia

Hunting Namibia includes stories and full color pictures from almost ten years of safari hunting in Namibia. The safaris in this survey unfolded in most of the major untamed safaris areas of Namibia. This book offers helpful tips to those thinking about hunting in Namibia as well as stories that may seem familiar to those that have. Our safaris balance the drama, labor and fearlessness required for proper dangerous game hunting at close range with the precision shooting required for plains game. Our safaris started with tracking kudu and eland through the ancient acacia covered dunes and straights bordering Bushmanland then moves to dangerous game amongst the swamps of the Zambezi River in the Caprivi and the escarpment above. Larry Weishuhn adds a special dangerous game chapter entitled HEB. His exploits keep the reader right in the thorns and dust with him as he closes the gate on the hippo, elephant and buffalo of the Caprivi Strip. Our final weeks were spent amongst the powder dry red Kalahari dunes and arid wind swept mountains in the south and central regions where we found an abundance of uncontained gemsbok, kudu and Mountain zebra. Our provisions throughout were exceptional with the highlight likely being a feast of sheep’s head and backstrap from one of the three cattle killing leopards we had to dispatch along the way. Our safaris in Namibia have been exciting, safe and fruitful with almost a total absence of biting flies and mosquitoes…what more could an adventure hunter ask for?
