Rifle hunters will enjoy hunting from the middle of March to the end of September as during this period there are fewer leaves on the trees so the animals are much easier to see and of course it’s our winter so the temperatures are cooler.

Any trophy marked on our price list with an asterisk * requires a permit. Please let us know in advance. Please note that other countries may differ so please let us know your species list to ensure permits.

Usually, this process for dip and pack takes up to six months. Obviously, taxidermy and mounting of the trophies will take longer.

During our winter months, June to September the day time temperatures are a nice 16 (60.8 deg. Fahrenheit) to 28 (82.4) degrees centigrade. However, the night temperatures can be cold, particularly for any night hunting or night activities and can drop to -2 (28.4) at a minimum.

The Kalahari is subject to extremes in weather from extreme cold to extreme heat. Mozambique is generally hot.
