Wes Hixon Outdoor Adventures

Season April ~ October

Our first hunt and visit to this country was a real eye opening experience. Namibia (formerly known as Southwest Africa) is the youngest country in Africa, having gained its independence in 1990. Namibia was settled by Germans before World War I.

Our safari base area is in the Khomashochland Mountains, approximately 90 km from the city of Windhoek. All hunts are fair-chase and are conducted for the most part by spot and stalk. The months of April through October are considered the best for hunting. Many people think that Namibia is hot and dry, however, it is very common for temperature to dip to 30 degrees F or less each night, causing you to begin your hunt with a heavy frost in the morning. The terrain here is very similar to parts of Wyoming and Montana.

Namibia is renowned for its large herds of trophy class Oryx (Gemsbok), Red Hartebeest, Kalahari Springbuck, Hartmann's Mountain Zebra and without a doubt, exceptional Southern Greater Kudu. Having hunted in many African countries, Wes will tell you that this area offers the best free-ranging trophy Kudu hunting he has encountered in Africa, especially when the big Kudu bulls are in the rut during May and June.

If you enjoy hunting Bull Elk or Whitetail Bucks when they are rutting, you will definitely enjoy hunting rutting Kudu Bulls. By the way, Leopard populations are very good in this area and Leopard can be combined with Plainsgame hunting while on safari. If you are fortunate enough to take a Leopard the daily rates and trophy fees are a very, very good bargain.

Our safaris are conducted by George and Rike Deloch. George's father founded this company in 1973. All hunts are guided by George, and all food is prepared by Rike, his wife. Guest chalets are fully modern, spotless and first class. This is a great place for a family or small group of friends to go on a hunt and vacation. Each safari is custom planned and you and your group will have the safari camp exclusively. Cost is without a doubt one of the best bargains left in Africa today.
