For elephants you will hunt in the hunting area NG 11. It is located in the Eastern Okavango Delta better known as the Panhandle.
\nIt is at the Eastern side of the Okavango Panhandle, where the Okovango river reaches the Okavango Delta. The Namibian border marked the northern boundary and the Okavango River marked the western boundary. It is a prime, free-range hunting area.
\nThe Okavango System is one of Botswana’s most important natural assets for a healthy and sustainable Elephant population.
\nDeep Kalahari sand dominates throughout NG 11, main vegetation types include shrub land towards dune crests with Burkea (Burkea Africana) and shrubbed woodland with mixed Mopane (colophospermum mopane)
\nAn estimated population of 18 000 Elephants is located in that hunting area – NG 11 has not been hunted until 2021. Since then, it is well-known for extraordinary trophy bulls.<\/p>\n
For elephant we may also hunt in NG49. It is 120km South East from Maun airport. A comfortable one and half hour drive to camp. The area is part of the Phuduhudu community, with whom we have a close relationship. They benefit directly from the hunting. The bulk of the revenue and meat obtained through hunting goes to them. It will also contribute to projects uplifting their lives and empowering the community.
\nIn the East we border the Nxai Pan National Park and in the South the Makgadigadi National Park with one corner bordering the Boteti River. This is unspoilt nature at its finest with no human movement in the area. There is an abundance of good quality elephant trophies, 50 pounds and bigger and a great number of plains game with the annual zebra migration taking place through the concession area. The terrain is perfectly suited for any client with open plains and no rocky terrain<\/p>\n
