Hello, for many years I have actively followed, and benefitted from, reviewing/reading the various hunting reports posted in this forum. Having recently returned from another successful hunting trip to Botswana, I felt it was time (yes, probably overdue) to share a hunting report with the other members/followers of this forum.
For the first ten days of July my wife (as a non-hunter) and I had a wonderful safari experience with @NKWE SAFARIS. Our guide and PH was the owner of NKWE Safaris, Jaco Viser. Quite simply Jaco is a hunter’s hunter. I found Jaco and his team (Tussie and Georggi) to have a very focused and knowledgeable (extremely knowledgeable) process to their hunting. Furthermore, to my benefit, they have a great appreciation for sharing the Kalahari Desert wilderness with those they are guiding.
For those of you who are familiar with NKWE Safaris, you know NKWE Safaris have exceptional free-range kudu and plains game hunting! When planning any hunting trip, I start by developing a simple matrix to list the pros and cons of the safari area(s) and the safari provider(s). For me free range wilderness hunting is a top priority, as-well-as, finding the best available professional hunter and safari operator. Fortunately, my research led me to: 1) Botswana’s Kalahari Desert region which provided a spectacular wilderness setting and 2) to NKWE Safaris which provided exceptional hunting opportunities. The quantity and quality of kudu was overwhelming. If a picture truly is worth a thousand words, then these pictures speak volumes to the hunting opportunities with NKWE Safaris.
The first kudu (pictures #1 & #2) is a 62 1/2 inch bull, and the second (slightly non-typical) kudu (pictures #3 & #4) is a 59 1/2 inch bull. In between hunting kudu, I also shot this 29 1/2 inch waterbuck (picture #5).
I found the experience so good that I have already rebooked for 2024.
