EDEN SAFARIS- Namibia

1.The terrain-
Namibia is a dry country, much of it at altitudes above 4,000 feet.  We were hunting near Grootfontein in the northeast, on the edge of the Kalahari Desert. It looks a lot like Texas.  Lots of grass and brush with rolling hills.  It was very sandy, like south Texas except no prickly pear.  The Acacia tree is similar to mesquite in size, etc. but its thorns aren’t as bothersome.  In fact, despite warnings of everything having stickers I wasn’t as bothered by thorns, thistles, sticker burrs and other plants as I would have been in Texas.  There were no ticks, chiggers, or fire ants or anything similar during the winter season.  Summer may be di...

Tony Gerrow Hunts Zimbabwe!

The Kalunga Bull

At the shot, the big black bull slightly quartering toward me, I was lost in the recoil off the sticks. I tried to recover as the herd of dugga boys ran off in a cloud of the drought dry Zimbabwean dust. Nine bulls, every one big, but every one still running.

As I pulled the rifle down out of recoil, chambering another round and stepping sideways and looking so hard to find him, Cape buffalo hindquarters heaved and tails flew, nothing giving me a chance for a follow up shot, the one I’d practiced for so long. Suddenly they were just gone, so quickly disappearing into the August mopane scrub.

I stood there breathless, and amazed.

It was an early morning, I was in the Deka safari concession of Zimbab...

Keith & Niki Atcheson Zimbabwe Hunt

April 1 to 25, 2006

In Memory of Bob Fontana


This return trip to Zimbabwe was a special one for both Niki and I, somewhat of a closure.  In June 2004, Niki was attacked and badly injured by a wounded Cape buffalo that resulted in multiple injuries and many days in the hospital, as well as recovery.  However, we both love to hunt buffalo and knew that we would return soon.  That opportunity arose before we made our own plans, when Chris Dorsey of Orion Multimedia Productions approached us at he Safari Club Show in Reno, Nevada, about a filmed buffalo hunt for Niki.

Chris's company produces the "Dangerous Game" series filmed for Outdoor Life Network, which has turned out to be OLN's most popular viewed telecast.  Chris knew about our acc...

Keith and Niki Atcheson Family Hunt

Keith and Niki Atcheson Namibia Family Hunt Report
June 21 to July 12, 2006

While it is not often that we go to Africa twice in one year, let alone twice within three months, we seem to have pulled it off this time. This actually was a hunt we had planned for a couple of years and the hunting party consisted of Keith, Niki, Andrew, Alissa, and Adrianna Atcheson, Cody Pesanti and our long-time, good friend from Lewistown, Montana, Jack Drew.

Our daughters, Diani and Malindi Taylor, were also going to come with us on this trip but they opted out for a very important wedding for one of their cousins.  We certainly missed them in Namibia.  We also hired Lauri Alainwaite of Osprey Filming of Zi...
