Our Botswana Outfitter operates photographic and hunting safaris\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>i<\/span>n an area of 60,000 hectares, (approx. 148,000 acres), one of the largest privately owned game\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>ranches in Botswana. We are dedicated to the management and biodiversity of all Kalahari game\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>species including the Cape Eland, Kalahari Gemsbok, Blue & Black Wildebeest, Red Hartebeest\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>and the elusive Southern Greater Kudu. Our Professional staff\u00a0<\/span>offers clients the chance to hunt a wide variety of desert game species on the ranch. The landscape covers a variety of desert terrain, including woodland and open veld pan areas. Our Professional Hunters have extensive experience in the Kalahari environment, and the Bushman trackers come from around our area. They have a deep and respectful knowledge of the game & hunting area. Hunting\/tracking with the Bushman (Basarwa) in the Kalahari bush veld is an extraordinary experience and a highlight all hunts.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
