Thank you for the kind reference Frederik. Dylancadby23 we have all the animals you mentioned in your e-mail. We own 8 ranches in total (all of them bordering each other). We do not lease the properties we own them outright so you are dealing with the land owner directly. Four of the ranches...

We have some exceptional Kudu on our ranches. The best time to get the biggest bulls are in May and June when they are in the Rut. Book your next hunt with us and add the kudu to your Safari

Hello COElkHunter 12 gauge or 20 gauge will work perfectly. We have a selection of different types of shotguns (over and under, side by side, pump and semi auto) to rent or you are welcome to bring your own. Sincerely Hans de Klerk

An interesting fact is that the double banded sandgrouse drink at sunset while the Namaqua sandgrouse and Burchell's sandgrouse drink in the mornings. The double banded sandgrouse is distributed mostly over the northern parts of Namibia and Botswana and the whole of Zimbabwe while the Namaqua...

Seems like the E-Brochure did not want to go with the previous post. Let me try again. Hope it goes through now. Sincerely Hans de Klerk

Hello Nejatuner We have a lot of sandgrouse in the Kalahari. It is a very special bird to hunt and reserved for the true connoiseur. The daily limit is 5 sandgrouse per person per day. We have two types of sandgrouse in our area - Burchells sandgrouse (more common) and also Namaqua sandgrouse...

Hello Northern Shooter There are many outfitters on this site that offers excellent packages that will fall within your parameters. My advice would be to limit your taxidermy costs by only doing European mounts and/ or rugs. Also the majority of the taxidermy bill (except deposit) will only come...

Contact me on +27-82-828-4899. Sincerely Hans de Klerk

Good day Clean Miss Since you are already in the Kalahari give us a try. We are located north of Vryburg on the Botswana border. It will save on driving time from Johannesburg. We have all the species you mentioned except the King Wildebees and bushpigs. We can work in some culls for your...

No problem Mark. My comments was not directed at you but just a general guideline for everybody out there. I hope everybody had a wonderful Christmas with their friends and family and that 2025 will be a prosperous year for everyone. Sincerely Hans de Klerk

Just to clear up a few facts. Canned lion hunting is illegal in South Africa. The anti hunters just love to use that word (canned). It puts the idea into readers minds that the animal is locked up in a small enclosure (therefore canned). There is actually a court order that prohibit the press...

Hello Bill We specialize in captive bred lions that have been released in a very large area. They are free roaming for a long time and are catching their own game and are completely self sufficient. Hunting is done by following the lion tracks on foot. It is a very exciting hunt and as close to...

Hello Luis I will answer you the same as how one of my trackers answers when faced with a difficult question. "Nobody knows" We had our national elections a few months ago and now we have a new minister of Environmental Affairs. His name is Minister Deon George and we still have to see if he is...

We will also be able to help. Plenty of buffalo as well as other plainsgame. Just send me an e-mail. Sincerely Hans de Klerk

We are super excited for the upcoming shows. Feel free to come and see us. DSC Atlanta Booth 4517 SCI Nashville Booth 835

I apologise if it looks like I was criticising Dave. It was not my intention. I was trying to highlight the system failures and do realise now that this post was not the right place to do it. Sorry Dave. The posts from me was not aimed at you but at US Fish and Wildlife with their rules and...

It is like the cartoon that shows the tribal leaders in Africa sitting around a campfire having a meeting and where one of the points on the agenda are "The closure of white tail deer hunting in America". How can one country dictates to another country what to do?

Talk to President Trump so that he can open up importation of many trophies that have been shut down from the Obama era. Some species that come to minds are polar bears, lions, brown hyena, bontebok where the respective governments of Canada and South Africa have determined (through scientific...

It is very short notice. I have a client that is interested but he cannot get his affairs organised in 6 days time.

We can help with all the species you mentioned except bushbuck. We have a lot of buffalo too so can make you a good price. If interested just send an e-mail. Sincerely Hans de Klerk

Hello Harry Branca We can also accommodate you in 2025 for buffalo and sable in a very large area. We will be doing both the DSC convention in Atlanta as well as SCI convention in Nashville. Stop by our booth for a drink. Sincerely Hans de Klerk

Hello RStien321 We certainly tick all the requirements you mentioned. Send an e-mail if you are interested. Sincerely Hans de Klerk

Hello Mr. Lucas We would be delighted to have you with us. Over the years we've had a few hunters from Australia. Exporting trophies is no problem. We are located in the Kalahari desert. It is actually only called a desert because there is no surface water but we still get on average 400 mm (16...

I am finishing with a hunt on September 11. Taking clients back to Johannesburg on September 12 so can pick you up the morning of September 13 in Johannesburg. We are about 7 hours drive from Johannesburg situated in the Kalahari desert. We have lots of game to hunt. Maybe a buffalo hunt will...

Ernest of Spear safaris run a good show. He is in the Greater Kruger area so you cannot go wrong with him. Sincerely Hans de Klerk

From an outfitter perspective there is a fine line that will depend on how well you know the client (friend or stranger), how much the client demands (low maintenance or otherwise), how much he hunts, etc. The outfitter will soon realise if his hospitality is getting abused. If a client is just...

We are located in the Kalahari Desert (on the South African side bordering Botswana). We have very large areas so you will seldom encounter a fence. We have all the species you mentioned including buffalo. Send me an e-mail if interested. Sincerely Hans de Klerk

Best IvW From a fellow South African I would have expected a little bit more friendly and helpful attitude towards Ontario Hunter. I am sure what Ontario Hunter meant by "Lodge owner" is what we here in South Africa call the Outfitter. The outfitter is usually the guy who owns the lodge and...

Also sent you a PM. Have a couple openings and will be happy to accommodate you. Sincerely Hans de Klerk

Hello Wysongdog We will also be a good fit for what you want. Sincerely Hans de Klerk

Hello Brad2008 I am so glad you posted your request so that I can tell you and other hunters who are also interested in buffalo about us. Most hunters here on this site associate us with lion hunting and that is fine also but few of the hunters know that we are also an excellent place for...

Hello BokFancier We have the following Springbuck variants : Common Black White Copper (think on your photo chart is says Royal) We also have common and white blesbuck. We do cull hunts in the above mentioned (common) species in addition to other species like black and blue wildebees, impala...

Hello Greylin We can also accommodate your group and have all the animals you mentioned. We do not have any fishing in our area as we are in the Kalahari desert but the hunting is phenomenal. Sincerely Hans de Klerk

Hello ColinR We can certainly accommodate you and your family. We have all the species you mentioned including very good kudu. Each year we harvest at least 3 to 4 kudu bulls in the 58 + inch range. Rest of the animals - no problem either. Jackals shoot as much as you want for free. Can do night...

We are not in Namibia but very close to the south eastern border. So basically the same terrain and vegetation and the same feeling of wide open spaces you get in Namibia. We are owner operated and have large properties that we own. We book one group at a time so you get personal attention. Most...

Yes they are. The South African government gave us 2 years to exit the industry. They never gave any specific dates but in broad terms 2024 will be the first year and 2025 will be the second ( and final ) year you will be able to hunt lions.

To all our previous clients. Thank you for the kind words. It is much appreciated. Sincerely Hans de Klerk

We have also done a few handgun hunts in the past. With over 6 000 head of game there is plenty of opportunities for walk and stalk. Vegetation is savannah with some areas of thick bush so lots of cover to get real close. If our bow hunters can get close enough with walk and stalk we can get a...

Karl is a great outfitter. My son worked for him for a few months to gain experience in dangerous game. He runs a fantastic operation. Somebody will have a great hunt. I am almost tempted to book the hunt for myself.

Hello Nutterman Welcome to the site. Lots of information here and it can certainly be overwhelming. We are a family run operation and only book one safari at a time. We believe in personal attention and clients have an exclusive experience with us. We have a very large privately owned game...

Hello Letzhunt In 2016 the US Fish and Wildlife service shut down the importation of lion trophies. The same thing happened with polar bear, brown hyena, bontebok, etc. where the American officials think they know more about conservation than what Canadian and South African governments know. The...

Your guess is as good as ours. Our dear minister of Nature Confusion (Barbara Greecy) has not announced a time line, which is typical of our incompetent government who makes laws but do not think of the consequences and / or how to implement it. My guess is if they say we have 2 years to exit...

We are exactly what you are looking for. We can help you with all the animals (except bushbuck) on our private game reserve in the Kalahari. Lodge is very comfortable with everything you might need. We book only one group at a time. Area is very wild (closest town is 240 km away) and very large...

So what we feared for a long time is finally becoming real. See attached below. https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2024-03-30-cabinet-approves-end-to-captive-breeding-of-lions-and-rhinos/ Sincerely Hans de Klerk

We hunt several 57 to 62 inch kudu in our area (Northwest province South Africa against Botswana border). We have several free range areas in addition to our own privately owned game reserve. If you book 7 days between 1 May and 15 June (when most kudu are in rut) and just focus on kudu and...

Hello Sir During the last year or so game prices in South Africa have shot through the roof. Game prices at the game auctions are much higher than the hunting prices so smaller ranches that tend to buy in game every few weeks to hunt them in the following weeks cannot financially afford it any...

We can also accommodate you and your wife on a quality buffalo hunt on a very large area. Nice lodge with bar, swimming pool and airconditioning in all the rooms. Pick up and drop off point is Johannesburg. Lots of references. Feel free to contact us by e-mail. Sincerely Hans de Klerk
