As the hunting season in Africa is drawing closer to an end, it means summer time has arrived – a season during which the African savanna turns green from long-awaited rain showers, bringing with it an abundance of newly-born lambs, calves and cubs. For the African outfitters and professional hunters, it is a time to reflect on the new friendships that were made in the bush, and time spent with old friends who have returned yet again to feel the African sun on their skin and to experience the continent’s hospitality, spectacular nature and the quarry on offer.
Our first edition of AFRICA’S SPORTSMAN MAGAZINE (July–September 2018) was well received internationally, fulfilling our primary – goal to promote Africa to the true sportsman as a hunting destination of choice. In this edition we focus on Namibia, a land of contrasts where the visitor will discover a wide variety of habitats, from the well-known Namib desert to the thick riverine forests in the north. As a hunting destination, these areas, together with the Kalahari dunes, the savanna bushveld of central Namibia and the arid, stark beauty of the mountainous rocky south, will combine to provide an exceptional experience for the hunter. Namibia is seen as a plains-game paradise by the hunting community in general but few know that it is one of the best destinations for dangerous-game hunting – leopard, buffalo, elephant, rhino, hippo and crocodile.
We at AFRICA’S SPORTSMAN MAGAZINE are committed to bringing to you the unique African experience, and as the northern hemisphere prepares for the winter months, with many parts receiving snow, here is a reminder that Southern Africa can also be transformed into a winter wonderland, with elephant, giraffe, sable and springbuck photographed in parts of the Karoo in central South Africa during a late winter storm that swept through the area in September 2018.

Africa's Sportsman Magazine Description:

A true sportsman shows respect and fairness. ‘True’ means NOT FALSE, REAL, SINCERE, HAVING THE NECESSARY QUALITIES and being ACCURATE. Inspired by exciting hunting stories and information about the right skills, tools, gear and game species at top hunting destinations, the primary goal of AFRICA’S SPORTSMAN MAGAZINE is to promote Africa as a hunting destination of choice to the true sportsman. For every hunter that has had the privilege of feeling the African sun on his skin, the balanced content of every quarterly edition will confirm the unique African experience imprinted on his mind. As he prepares to return to Africa with his family, he – and the hunter who still has to experience Africa’s hospitality, spectacular nature and the quarry on offer – will find world-class hunting stories and informative articles to prepare them for their next adventure. Information about wildlife, outdoor activities and conservation will appeal to a broad cross-section of enthusiasts, promoting not only tourism but also sustainable and legal hunting in Africa.
