It’s Raining, It’s Pouring!
In September, 2021, after a neighbor's tractor backfired catching the end of the year dried grass on fire, nearly 80% of our 35,000 acres burnt. Where luscious, knee high, golden grass was meant to be, there were piles of dusty grey ash. Beautiful Mopani trees burnt to the ground. Fear of a lack of food for the animals that call this place home haunted us. But we had hope. After [...]
Bow Hunting Burchell Zebra
I found myself at full draw, anchor point in place, nose button at the ready, and staring down my aligned sights at an unexpected quarry only 31 yards away.

Moments before, I stopped my truck in the shade of a Mopane tree about a mile from the watering hole I had planned on sitting at for the afternoon and [...]
An Evening in a Camel Thorn
At full draw, my bow becomes weightless. Life moves in slow motion. Everything around me is still, quiet, calm. I focus only on what my pin is pointed at. I thought I knew what true hunting was. The thrill of the challenge when in pursuit of an animal. Dealing with uncomfortable conditions and crossing tough terrain to get within range. Looking through my scope, lining up my crosshairs, trying to [...]
What Guests Say About Us
Bob Paro
★★★★★
“I know trying to decide on a place to go hunting in Africa can be difficult. Having hunted the Burchell’s Trudia farm in Northern Namibia, I can tell you that it is a great farm to hunt. The terrain has a rugged beauty with lots of great animals. 40 inch gemsbok, 50 inch kudu are all possible. The living arrangement is simple with tented chalets that remind one of days gone by with modern amenities. The Boma is the center of it all with great authentic African meals being served. Scot and Katie are gracious hosts who will instantly make you feel welcome and you will leave feeling like family. Everyone works to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Do not hesitate to book if you get the chance.”

“Hi, I’m Jeff Smith I’m from Hernando Mississippi. My first and second safaris were with Scot Burchell and his family. Hunting with them is the best experience I’ve ever had. Excellent accommodations, the food is great, and the friendliest staff you will ever meet. Their properties are huge and beautiful. The bird life in Namibia is something you just have to experience. Never a dull moment. We saw numerous trophy animals and their trophy care is second to none. I cannot stress enough how important it is to have people who care about your trophies as much as you do. You will arrive as a client and leave as lifetime friends. Thank you Scot for all my memories, I will cherish our friendship forever.”
