Who is your favorite hunting outfitter in South Africa or Namibia?

[Mikestromg]

Hey guys im just starting to plan a trip hopefully for next spring and wanted to know your favorite outfitters to hunt plains game! My wish list consists of: Kudu, zebra, oryx, impala, blue wildebeast and possibly a caracal!

 

[KMG Hunting Safaris]

Hi @Mikestromg ,
Please be so kind to drop me a PM, and I will be more than happy to discuss a possible trip to either country with you. We have excellent areas in both South Africa as well as in Namibia.
All the best with your research.

Take Care,
Marius Goosen

The most loaded question ever posted. Look forward to seeing the replies.

Yup a very loaded question and the true answer is anyone of the sponsors on here will get the job done and many more. Enjoy the planning part and ask questions when your not sure.

This question is the equivalent of asking if the US should build a wall at a work dinner party. Let the fireworks begin.

Welcome to AH sir!

Welcome to AH

 

[BRICKBURN]

Welcome to AH Mike.
Good to have another Canadian running around here.

The species you are after can be taken with the vast majority of Outfitter Sponsors.

Read some of the hunt reports and you will know who member favorites are from their experiences.
Have fun planning your trip.

Wow that's a heck of a loaded question.

Hello, try Otjandaue Hunting Safaris (Roy & Janet Van der Merwe) in Namibia. Great people, beautiful ranch, loads of quality trophy animals! Have hunted with them twice and cannot wait to go again

Welcome to AH!

Difficult question to answer, all of our sponsors are good professionals and most will contact you, so it´s your choice.

You could also choose which country and what area you will prefer to hunt in.

In SA I used CT Safaris and really enjoyed the Accommodations the Great Food and Proffesionalism that Chris brings to the Table

Hi @Mikestromg , You have a nice list of trophies you desire and I think you now need to decide what type of landscape you would like to hunt. Both Namibia and SA have diverse and different environments from dry open plains to coastal thickets. Once you decide on a region you can then approach outfitters in that area. Good luck with your planning. You are in for a life changing experience.

I will be heading to hunt with KMG in a couple of weeks. This will be my second trip to SA but first trip with Marius. A buddy has hunted with him in the past and put this trip in motion. We met Marius and Kim in Toronto in March and I was impressed with their professionalism and pricing. Can't wait until we meet on their soil and stalk the elusive animals of the dark continent... I will be posting my experience upon my return, very confident it will be a positive report of an awesome time.

Namibia is a fabulous destination and quite a bit more user friendly upon arrival than South Africa. It was the location of my first African hunt, and in the wisdom of hindsight, I would change nothing. I have hunted with Nick Nolte twice and Jamy Traut http://jamyhunts.com/ once. Have also hunted on Roy Van der Merwe's ranch with Nick and spent three days on Dirk De Bod's fabulous concession near Windhoek http://www.safarisnamibia.com/. All will offer you a fabulous plains game experience. There are many others in Namibia and a host in South Africa as well. We have great sponsors on the site who set up memorable hunts every year. As Brickburn suggests, go through the hunting reports. Remember, anyone can build a slick website or talk your ear off at a show. Nothing like the reports of folks who have actually experienced a prospective destination.

Welcome aboard! Many good outfitters in both countries. Many of which are sponsors on this site!

 

[BWH]

Howdy sir.... plenty of opinion & answers..... really depends on the experience you are looking for. You'll get plenty of good assistance here.

 

[wesheltonj]

Everyone here will have their own favorite based on hunting comfort and budget. Some good outfitters here and some good outfitters that are not here too. I see your wish list, now just budget and comfort level.

 

[enysse]

Welcome to AH, East Cape Plains Game Safaris could handle your animal list, I hunted with them last year.

 

[RolandtheHeadless]

I only hunted South Africa once, but my outfitter, Karoo Wild Safaris, exceeded my expectations in every way, from the hunting to the food.
