|
|
This is a perfect introduction to hunting in Africa, you have all the game, fantastic accommodations and food. Namibia is a very beautiful civilized country. Jochen is a sensitive, educated hunter with extensive knowledge of wildlife and hunting. A side trip to the Nabib desert is a must. He planned a beautiful experience for me as a novice hunter.
