There is a severe drought in Namibia. The area is a floodplain: normally it would be flat with tall grass but with no rain, it did not flood, and no tall grass appeared. The Caprivi is not a bushy area. Free range animals are not fearful as they don't know humans and interact with humans on a frequent basis. Non-trophy hunt was booked, best trophy quality should not be expected. Rifle was an oversight from us.

About this hunt
BUSHMANLAND NON-EXPORT ELEPHANT (Must be taken before 30 November 2025) In Bushmanland the habitat consists of prehistoric dunes that were formed millions of years ago when sand was blown into the region from the Namib Desert. Over the millennium the sand settled and the huge dunes overgrew with huge trees and lush vegetation due to the subtropical climate and high rainfall. The Dune "Streets" in between the dunes have more clay soil which allows more climax grass species to grow. Due to yearly fires, these streets have turned into lush plains with highly palatable grass and acacia trees which is excellent habitat for grass-feeding antelope. The dunes are covered in raisin bush and other palatable trees for browsers. PACKAGE INCLUDES DURATION: 3 full hunting days & 4 nights. The day of arrival and a portion of the departure day can be used for hunting. This safari requires a total of 5 days. ADDITIONAL DAYS: Can be booked at the regular rate. HUNTERS: 1 x Hunter and 1 x Professional Hunter TROPHY: 1 x Non-exportable Elephant OBSERVER(S): $250 per person per day ADDITIONAL DAYS/ANIMALS: May be added to the package as per the price list. We reserve the right to change any terms, conditions and prices without notice. Rates at the time of the hunt will apply.

Not what I expected.
The camp and the staff.
This buffalo hunt is very different from a bush hunt. Hunting is not exciting. The territory is flat with only large herbs. You can see very far and you have to crawl. The animals come out of the park and are not fearful (as for the zebra hunted afterwards) . The outcome of the hunt would have been very different if the rented rifle had been a 375 instead of a 300. It was the P.H. who killed the buffalo with his huge caliber but not me. It's frustrating. Maybe I should have read the announcement better.

Thormahlen and Cochran Safaris
Too many things to list: truly professional service; tenacious and motivated PH(s)/outfitter; as requested, maximized field/hunting time; prime hunting locations/licenses; high quality equipment/transportation; classic lodging/meals; expectation exceeding Trophies. Chose this group due to dependable reference(s) and their broad reputation. As we all know, one gets what they pay for in this industry. You will not be disappointed with T&C.
100% pleased, no issues.

I highly recommend this outfitter for an African safari.
Nothing to not like.
