General notes on elephant hunting in the Caprivi/ Kavango areas:
The density and activity of the elephant in these two areas varies during the year, and can be reflected by the following table:

The positions of the 2 areas are shown on the map of the Caprivi of Namibia; Sobbe in blue, and Khaudum in green.

As a baseline, a drive from Victoria Falls has been included, as it is the airport in the region with the most frequent flights (several daily), and because a lot of guests would like to stay over there one night or just go and see the Falls. Other alternatives to fly to commercially would be Katima Mulilo (via Windhoek, on Mondays and Thursdays only), and Kasane (via Johannesburg.)
Sobbe is mostly mopane woodlands and other game that might be seen are: lion, leopard, buffalo, roan, sable, zebra, kudu, hyena, duiker, and warthog. The area is around 110 000 acres big, with no fences whatsoever. It is situated in the Western Caprivi, around 1h drive from Katima Mulilo.
Khaudum North Complex has extremely sandy soil, with lots of bigger trees, like teak, Camel-thorn, jackal-berry, and various combretum species. Other game that may be hunted there include leopard, kudu, gemsbok, steenbok, duiker, warthog and hyena. It is in the upper reaches of the Bushmanland/ Kavango area, and is around 5h driving from Katima Mulilo. Very good elephant can be found here.
