HUNTING AREAS
Your Namibian safari will include plains, and in some cases dangerous game, or both. Currently Estreux Safaris have hunting concessions in the north western, and north eastern parts of Namibia. Your trophy list of preferred animals will determine the choice of hunting area/s. Whatever you as our valued client decide, we will assist you in finding the right combination of hunting days and hunting area/s as to experience your ultimate African Safari. Estreux Safaris operates in two main concession areas for plains game i.e. Urieis and Kavango Concessions, as mentioned below. We do however have other concessions, but this is mainly to offer game not found in our two main concessions or where we have limited quotas available and/or for sustainability purposes; as we are committed to long-term sustainability of our game and to ensure the best possible trophy quality. With regard to Dangerous game, Estreux Safaris in conjunction with our partner, offer Elephant, Cape Buffalo, Leopard, Crocodile and Hippopotamus. Depending on available quotas as agreed by the Ministry of Environment and Tourism limited quotas on Lion and White Rhino are also offered. Estreux Safaris guarantees exclusivity in all their concessions, with you and your hunting party having the entire concession to yourselves. We only take one group at a time. Our concessions cover approximately 230 000acres, with more than 30 species available in very remote and pristine "wilderness" areas. Your hunt will also benefit marginal communities in the north-western and north-eastern corners of Namibia. Estreux Safaris is committed to the long-term conservation and social upliftment of the people in the areas where we hunt. Learn more about communal conservancies here
