Bwabwata National Park hunting concession:

Bwabwata National Park is a relatively newly proclaimed park, in what is known as the Kavango– and Zambezi regions of (Formerly known as the ). There are two hunting areas in the park, both approximately 270 000 ha or 667 000 acres big.

The Eastern hunting block is known as the Kwando Core area, or Bwabwata East, and the Western block as Buffalo core area.

It is home to some of the best elephant, buffalo and plains game populations left in Africa, with a very small hunting quota, ensuring exceptional trophy quality. In fact, 65 plus pound elephants and a 42 inch and bigger buffalo is not the exception, and if a hunter is fit, virtually assured.

The park extends from the Kavango river in the West, to the Kwando river in the East, with to the North and and the Okavango Delta to the South. The split between the East and West blocks are at the Kavango/ Zambezi provincial border.

Ndumo Safaris was fortunate enough to be awarded the eastern block as a trophy hunting concession for the period February 2016 to November 2020. The trophy hunting quota consists of 6 elephants, 8 buffaloes, 3 leopards, 3 hippopotami, 2 crocodiles and a variety of plains game, including red letchwe, common reedbuck, , sable, roan, kudu, Livingstone eland, impala, warthog, steenbok and duiker. We plan to start building a hunting camp on the banks of the Kwando river in December 2015, and start hunting as early as February/ March 2016. As the quota is relatively small, we have decided to market the whole quota as packages.

The packages are:

1) 7 day trophy buffalo hunt @ US$ 25 000 2) 14 day trophy buffalo and leopard hunt@ US$ 45 000 3) 14 day trophy elephant hunt @ US$ 78 000 4) 16 day trophy elephant and buffalo hunt @ US$ 95 000 5) 18 day trophy elephant, buffalo and leopard hunt @ US$ 105 000 6) 28 day trophy elephant, buffalo, leopard, roan, sable, hippo, crocodile and letchwe hunt @ US$ 165 000 (All above packages includes an arrival day, pick up at Kasane or airports, import permit for first rifle, the number of hunting days as stated, a departing day, drop off at same airport, plus trophy fee(s) of stated animals in package).

• A 50% deposit on all packages, additional days booked, and extra animals booked, will secure the quota for the stated animals. • The remainder of the package fee and booked extra days are payable no later than 60 days prior to the hunt. • The remainder of trophy fees on extra booked animals to be paid after successful hunt for them. • Any additional animal available on quota can be added at trophy fee only (see trophy fee lists below), provided that the minimum days as in below column are met. If a hunter wants to be sure that the quota is available on a specific animal, such animal must be booked in advance, and may also attract a deposit. Extra hunting days in park available at US$ 1500/ day and US$ 1000/ day on communal areas. • If specific animals over and above the package animals are not reserved, and thus the quota is allocated to a specific hunter, no guarantees can be made that it will be available to hunt. • A second buffalo or elephant will attract a higher than normal trophy fee, typical 150% of the trophy fee. • All hunts can include extra animals to be hunted in communal conservancies, but the packages as above are for Park hunts. Similar packages in communal conservancies are also available, at a lower price. • Any hunt that was booked with us in a communal conservancy before we acquired the Bwabwata area can be upgraded to the Bwabwata area. Contact us for a custom quote in this regard. • There will be no sliding scale on trophy sizes; the price quoted is for the best available one we can find in the allocated time. • As an introductory offer, we will offer a 5% discount to hunters paying 100% of the package fee upfront. • Taxidermy can be arranged by client’s choice of taxidermists, but the shipping and packing will be handled by the company we choose, in order to keep it simple and easy.
