Omujeve Safaris?
      #179577 - 21/04/11 07:11 PM

Hello,

has anyone hunted with Omujeve Safaris in Namibia?

If so how was the organization?

Thanks!

- Timo

It seems not. From what little I know they run a five star operation, family friendly.

This is the organisation where celebrity hunter Ms B.Boddington shot the dog handler. They also have Rhino 'hunts' so clearly have some involvement in that breeds conservation paid for with canned hunts. How wide that type of hunting is I don't know.

For your $ at least you would be very comfortable there.

Why are rhino hunts necessarily "canned hunts"?

Please describe the exact conditions "Omujeve" operates its rhino hunts under?

From the outfitters I have seen, in Zimbabwe, they sometimes have two or three rhino, or more, running wild and presumably breeding, in very large (often 50,000 to 100,000 acres) fenced areas. They were required to be fenced by law.

They were allowed to hunt a rhino after satisfying certain conditions.

If done in this manner, I can't see how the word "canned" can be used. Certainly expensive though.

If bred in small enclosures and released after extensive captivity, I can certainly see this as being described as "canned".

I know these guys a little (mostly Nic) and while I havent hunted there I know they have an excellent reputation and they are young and enthusiastic and a lot of fun.

I have hunted 30+ days with both Corne and Nic (taking 43 animals) and consider them very good friends and excellent hunters. Nic was also my cameraman on my very first Namibian hunt. The other PH's working at Omujeve are top-notch also; Ace video'd my leopard hunt and warned me when I was about to step on a snake while chasing up thru the rocks to my cat.

We spend a week with them every year at SCI, and have a get-together with them here as guests if they can schedule it. Looking forward to Las Vegas this coming year too. Other close friends have hunted with them both.

My oldest son (David) hunted with them both in 2005 at Erindi. He has been with them for the past three weeks videoing hunts in the Omatendeka Conservancy, and has another 4 weeks to go. He has posted pics on their film company page on Facebook (Fluid Peak Films).

Have a two week hunt scheduled for next April and will be taking five of us there. I'd recommend them for anyone looking for a fabulous time, with 5-star accomodations and great hunting.

Time for an update. David is doing great at video of the clients hunts. Lots of good shots and many animals in the salt. Nick and Lauren showed up this week, and my daughter-in-law starts her two months this weekend. They are actually living the dream!

Pardon me if I am a electronic dinosaur, but all this computer and Facebook stuff is a little overwhelming to me. Here's a link to their "Fluid Peak Films" page, and there are quite a few pics of Omujeve's Omatendeka Conservency area. Looks beautiful to me, and I can hardly wait until next year.

He mentioned today that having a large snake drop off the roof at your feet was slightly un-nerving.

Hope you enjoy the pics!

My son with a fantastic black wildebeest, taken with our friends in Namibia. My daughter-in-law left today for two months with them. Hopefully will get some great shots topost on their Facebook page.

Son is back: daughter-in-law is covering safaris for the next 2 months. Check out some of the great animals they have taken.
