B O T S WANA P R I VAT E L AND LEOPARD & PLAINSGAME HUNTING 2024 & 2025 Hunt with local San Bushmen for Leopard and plainsgame on vast stretches of private ranch land in the legendary Kalahari. Leopard hunting in the Kalahari is a thrilling experience where the leopard is tracked, bumped and ultimately taken in daylight with the help of expert Bushmen trackers and trained leopard hounds. Plainsgame species on this 300,000 acre (120,000 ha) private reserve offer exceptional trophies of all kinds and remains the finest big kudu region in Africa. Hunting for plainsgame can be done with rifle or bow. We offer excellent terrain for walk-and-stalk bowhunting along with many permanent hides situated strategically at water points / salt licks throughout the reserve.

HUN T ING PH I LOSOPH Y At Huntersinc.com, we believe in traditional, ethical hunting, or as we like to say—real hunting for real hunters. While all of us appreciate the magnificence of a wide-spread buffalo, or the exceptional curl of an eland’s horns, our primary focus is on age and character. A true trophy is one that is hard-won, earned with blood, sweat and tears, and is appreciated for the experience it took to achieve it. We focus our hunting on old elephant bulls, mature male leopard, heavy-horned antelope and hard-bossed buffalo which make the greatest of trophies. These are the true warriors of the bush who have lived long and productive lives, having passed on their genes to future generations of their kind. We trust that as a true hunter, you too understand and appreciate our philosophy.
