We offer for Swanepoel & Scandrol clients, safaris for Trophy Elephant , Buffalo, Leopard and plainsgame in the Chobe CH1/2 “Enclave” and the CH8 “Pandamatenga” areas. These areas offer hunters the most realistic chances for Elephant above 60lbs of Ivory per side and Buffalo in the 40” + class in Africa today. Leopard hunting is exceptional and the plainsgame while limited in numbers of species does provide top trophy quality. With the proximity of these areas to the Chobe National Park as well as the hunting road network and water development projects has led to these areas being a top destination for true trophy hunters. The Buffalo populations continue to get stronger each season and the ability to be very selective and find top caliber trophies is among the best opportunities available. These CH8 area is being operated in a joint venture with AKUNAMATHATA WILDLIFE PVT Ltd.

We continue to offer our clientele incredible opportunities to hunt for huge leopards in the Kalahari region. This hunt is conducted with the indigenous Kalahari bushmen and is very exciting. The permits for these hunts are extremely limited so please plan in advance. The available plainsgame species in Kalahari are also exceptional quality and abundant. This is a safari any true African hunter would want to experience.

Hunters arrive and depart Botswana through Maun, Kasane or Victoria Falls respectively depending on the safari. Swanepoel & Scandrol’s professional hunters for these safaris will be Luke Blackbeard, Ronnie Blackbeard, Peter Hepburn, Mike Bartlett and Chris Burnie who are all Botswana citizens, and Russell Tarr who has been hunting in Botswana for over 10 seasons. We have prime time slots in all areas for our clients.  Plainsgame species are available on request in all areas based in quota availability.
