Once you’ve decided on your preferred hunting location and species, we will create a personalized proposal based on your selections. This proposal will outline your safari experience, giving you two different options for how your trip can be structured:
The Standard Safari Package is designed for hunters looking to experience a flexible, enjoyable hunt with luxury accommodations. This option is priced on a daily rate, multiplied by the number of hunting days you choose. During your safari, you can add animals to your hunt as opportunities arise. Our extensive price list includes a wide range of species available for hunting.
What’s included:
This package offers a relaxed yet comprehensive hunting experience, making it ideal for hunters who wish to select animals on the go and enjoy a range of services throughout their stay.
If you’re looking to hunt the Big 5 or pursue any of the Dangerous 7 species, we offer a specialized package tailored specifically for these types of hunts. This option is best suited for hunters who seek an exclusive experience and involves travel from South Africa to Namibia, which requires chartered flights. Typically, these hunts are part of a 14-day+ safari.
This package will be fully customized based on your desired species and hunting area, ensuring you have the best opportunity to pursue your dream game.
At Kaiwhai Safaris, we understand that booking an African safari can raise a lot of questions. Our team is dedicated to guiding you every step of the way, providing expert advice and tailored recommendations to ensure your hunt is everything you’ve dreamed of. Whether by email, phone, or WhatsApp, we’re available 24/7 to assist with any inquiries or to share real-time information as you plan your journey.
Once you’ve selected your safari package, we will send you a detailed proposal along with a contract. After reviewing and signing the contract, a deposit of US$2000 will be required to confirm your booking. The exact deposit may vary depending on the nature of the safari.
You can book direct flights to either O.R. Tambo International Airport (JNB) in Johannesburg, South Africa or Hosea Kutako International Airport (WDH) in Windhoek, Namibia.
Kaiwhai Safaris also assist with flight arrangements and travel planning, and happy to help coordinate your itinerary to ensure a smooth and stress-free journey from start to finish.
If you are a U.S. passport holder, you only need a valid passport with at least two blank pages to travel to South Africa. Please note that U.S. passport holders do require a e-visa for Namibia. If you are not a U.S. citizen, additional visa requirements may apply depending on your nationality.
A temporary import permit from the South African Police Service is required to bring your rifle into South Africa. Follow this link to our web page to assist you in bringing your own rifle:
We will also put you in contact with Mr X (our contact at the airport), who will assist you with this process and meet you at customs at the airport to clear your rifle upon arrival.
We will personally meet you at the airport and help you to collect your rifle. From there we will drive out to the Lodge. From OR Tambo Airport (Johannesburg – South Africa) it is a 2-hour drive to our lodge and from Hosea Kutako Airport (Windhoek – Namibia) it is 2 ½ hours’ drive.
No shots are needed for South Africa. Our hunting area is Malaria and yellow fever free. Malaria medication is required if you are traveling to the Caprivi. Please contact us if you need more info.
Namibia and South Africa’s seasons are reversed from the seasons in the Northern Hemisphere. So summer here is when its winter up north. For the most part, early mornings are crisp and cool but warm up around 9am. Mid-days are sunny and warm but it can start cooling down from late afternoons and can range a great deal, so you must pack to dress in layers each day.
Laundry is done daily at all of our lodges so you dont need tons of clothes: khaki or camo works, so whatever you prefer. A range of temperatures may be experienced in one day so dressing in layers is advisable. Please see the recommended “What to bring on an African Safari” for more detailed guidelines:
To secure your booking, we require a small deposit. The remaining balance for your safari can be settled in USD cash, by check (preferred), or via wire transfer before your departure. For your convenience, we have an American bank account with NBT Financial in Texas.
Please make any necessary arrangements in advance with your bank—or with a trusted friend or family member—to assist with the final payment if needed. Many clients find that the simplest method is to write us a check.
For puchases of gifts and souvenirs you can always use your credit card so local currency is not really needed. Most stores outside of the airport WILL NOT accept dollars. Most stores WILL accept ONLY MASTERCARD AND VISA credit cards, and not AMEX or DISCOVER. We will assist you to exchange Dollars into Rands at the airport should you require to do so.
South Africa’s currency is called “RAND” – the symbol is R.
Namibia’s currency is called “Namibian Dollar” – the symbol is N$.
The field preparation is done on the hunting property. After that your trophies will be taken to our taxidermy. Our local taxidermy, Mr Raymond Hoffman will personally meet you at the lodge to discuss what you would like to do with your trophies. There are 3 options:
