General Information
Accommodations and
Facilities
 Our
Hunting Lodge consists of six luxuriously furnished rooms, with tiled floors and
en-suite shower and toilet facilities. There is 220V and 110V electricity in the
rooms. Excellent meals in the traditional African style are served, with a
wide selection of excellent South African wines and liquor available.
The rooms
overlook a pool and patio area, which in turn overlooks a
waterhole, where many animals come to drink. The elephants may even at times
drink from the swimming pool. Breakfast and lunch is served in a semi-open area
and deliciously home-cooked meals are served in our "lapa" around campfire in
the evening. Clients can share their daily experiences at the bar in the Lapa
while meals are prepared. The Lodge also has a whirlpool and sauna which can be
enjoyed after a day of good hunting.
Clients are
welcome to arrive in camp a few
days earlier or depart a few days later than the schedule of your safari, at no
additional daily charge. We do not have any hidden costs and all charges are
listed on the price list. Observers can stay in camp or go on guided walks and
photo safaris on the days they do not wish to join the hunting party. If your
wife wishes to take a few trophies, she is more than welcome to so on your
license at no additional daily fee. Side trips to places of interest can also be
arranged, either by charter or by car.

 Rifles
and Ammunition
Most our clients bring their own
rifle. Bring a rifle that you are comfortable with and a good pair of
binoculars. A heavier caliber is recommended for the larger animals. We
also have rifles available in the caliber's 30.06 and .375 should a client not
be able to bring his own rifle along. Traveling with rifles is very easy on
South African Airways. Clients need not apply for any licenses prior to their
arrival. They will be issued with a temporary import license upon their arrival
at the Windhoek International Airport. To speed up the documentation process
upon their arrival, we advise that the clients have a list of all inscriptions
on the rifle at hand. No handguns are allowed and only ammunition for the rifle,
which is brought along will be allowed into the country. Bow hunting is
also available, and we have specially designated areas for bows.
