In
Namibia, I've received a fresh report from Dwight Van Brunt on a safari to the Caprivi with
Jamy Traut Safaris (
jamytraut@gmail.com). Continuing subscribers will remember that Traut was previously in charge at Eden Hunting Tourism in Namibia, which has also been known as Eden Trophy Hunting and Eden Wildlife Trust. In all, we have 13 very positive reports on file for this company, many of them on hunts conducted by Traut. In 2010, Traut left Eden and started his own safari company. (
See Article ID 2595.) We've since received three reports from subscribers who tried out Traut's new operation (two from Van Brunt), and I thought I should share their feedback with you.
Van Brunt hunted with Traut last year (
Report ID 8299) and again this year (
Report ID 8719), hunting two of his Caprivi concessions and one of his plains game areas near Windhoek. Van Brunt says he previously hunted with Traut about 10 times when he was with Eden. Every hunt, he says, was better than the last.
This past May, Van Brunt hunted Traut's Kwando Concession in the central Caprivi near Katima Mulilo, where he reports killing a big leopard in full daylight. ....
