A Typical Hunting Day

Our hunting objectives for the following hunting day will be discussed around the campfire each night. Your wake-up knock on the door will be between 05:30 to 06:00 every morning. A full breakfast will then be served in the breakfast room.

The hunting vehicle with your PH will wait for you. Your PH will again then have a discussion with you on the plans for the day. The hunting vehicle will take you to the area where you are going to hunt for the day. This trip could take usually about ½ hour to an hour.

Game will either be spotted from the vehicle or you might just walk through a designated area where we know the game species that you are interested in hunting, occur in abundance. You will be informed if a trophy has been spotted. The stalk then will commence. The stalk can take up to three to four hours, depending on the terrain or the density of wildlife you have to pass before getting in a shooting position for your trophy.

The PH will inform you when you are in a shooting position, after which he will then erect the shooting sticks, move in behind you in order to give clear directions of where exactly your trophy is. After confirmation from the hunter that the indicated animal is in sight, your PH will then request you to take the shot.

If you have been successful (90% success rate) with the shot, you will move to the trophy, ensuring it is dead. After all the excitement and congratulations to one another, the trophy will then be set up for trophy pictures.

The trophy will then be taken to the camp/lodge. The staff will congratulate you on the hunt. Slaughtering instructions will then be given to the slaughtering team after consultation with you. Your trophy will be slaughtered according to your instruction and immediately be tagged with your name and trophy hunting permit number reflected on the tags.

We take pride in the fact that we have once again provided top class trophies to our clients. Trophies are however not the most important aspect in a hunting safari... It is the experience, disappointment, endurance and then (lastly), the ultimate satisfaction of accomplishment! The Kowas hunting professionals know the hunting territory well. They have hunted in this area for eleven years. Kowas will get you to your trophy because we know where they are.
 
Kowas Hunting Safaris takes a limited amount of only 40 trophy rifle hunters per annum to ensure outstanding quality trophies and personal attention at all times. Ever wonder why hunters keep on coming back...?
 

Hunting Method

hunting africa

Hunts are only conducted on foot. Please note that shooting from vehicles is not allowed.The animals are located while cruising in a 4X4-hunting vehicle. A large area can be covered, without losing valuable hunting time walking through dead terrain. Once game has been spotted, the stalk is planned, and the vehicle drives off, leaving the hunter and his guide in a suitable position.

Walking distance will not exceed three miles per day. All our PH's are highly qualified and will therefore ensure high quality trophies. They will be able to bring you in a shooting distance between 80 to 200 yards. "Shooting sticks" (a rest for your rifle in order to ensure a stable position to shoot from) will then be set up. Once the stalk is completed, the vehicle can be called back by radio.

 

Fair Chase

Fair Chase is defined as pursuit of a free roaming animal or an enclosed roaming animal possessed of the natural behavioral inclination to escape from a hunter and be fully free to do so..
 

Rifle Import Requirements:

Rifle hunters who enter Namibia, must complete a temporary import permit for all rifle and/or ammunition in your possession. This permit could be faxed to you (in advance) in order to assist you (for your own convenience). This permit is obtainable on arrival at the airport and it takes only a few minutes to be issued.
