Namibia Hunting News

If various bachelor herds of well balanced age groups can be found in a communal hunting block / conservancy, the quota setting process seems to work after being applied for 12 years with close to 100% utilisation of the allocated quota.

Different seasons as well as annual rainfall play a role when it comes to animal movement in a larger landscape. These factors should be carefully considered when setting a new quota.

In July 2021, a film team, organized by the German Hunting Association (www.jadgverband.de) together with the German delegation of the Council for Game and Wildlife Conservation (www.cic-wildlife.de), visited our Dzoti hunting concession in the Zambezi region in northeastern Namibia.

Book your next safari in King Nehale and combine it...

After long dry spells with very little or sometimes no rain, open water become scarce and might disappear. This is a major influencing factor for wildlife in Africa but especially in an arid country like Namibia.

The 2 photos are showing the same Baobab tree (Adansonia digitata – Affenbrotbaum) and damage done to the tree by elephants. This kind of damage is common in areas where a high elephant population occurs. The damage to the tree species is to such an extent that the tree is highly threatened and disappearing slowly.

Looking forward to receiving Namibia’s new elephant management plan!

Found this old boy this afternoon. He seems to have passed of natural causes. Fascinating to imagine where he has wandered around over the past 14+ years of which he managed to evade us for the last 10 years.
