NAMIBIA: Has Anyone Hunted With Eldoret Hunting Safaris?

[Rhoyland4]

Has anyone hunted with Eldoret Hunting Safaris / Nico Badenhorst in the last few years? I can not find any review or recent information on him or Eldoret.

Any information would be much appreciated.

I met Nico and his wife in october 2023 thanks to a friend.
We hunted 2 days in his farm and I shot two elands and a girafe. At this moment, he was very scary with the drought. Very nice people ! I had a good talking with them.
He has a classic game ranch and an open area along the bushmanland where I probably shot the oldest eland of my life so far.

Kevin,

Thanks for the information!

I have never been to Africa, so I am not sure what a classic game ranch is.

It's a high fenced territory with a game proof. Inside you can find a lot of games who have been introduced and that are not native of the area, and even sometimes from Namibia like Nyala. We find more and more game ranches in that country but they are usually much bigger than those you find in South Africa.
The open area is in real a cattle farm with low fences that only keep cows. Kudus and elands jump above them without any problem. It is also high fenced on the Bushmanland side, but this corridor is very long and crosses many other properties, thus animal can roam freely.
