Contact us well ahead of your intended trip so we can investigate availability and work toward securing the necessary allocation for your hunt.

Plan Early to Secure Hunting Quota
Dangerous game hunting quotas can be difficult to obtain. Availability for a particular species or season should never be assumed, and an inquiry alone does not secure a hunting allocation.
If you are serious about a Botswana dangerous game safari, begin the conversation as far in advance as possible. Early contact gives us more time to explore quota availability, discuss suitable dates, and organize the arrangements needed for your chosen hunt.
When contacting Kalahari Safaris, please include:
- Your priority choice of dangerous game species.
- Your preferred hunting year and travel dates.
- Your flexibility on timing.
- The number of hunters in your group.
- Your previous African hunting experience.
All hunts depend on confirmed quota availability and the applicable permits and authorizations. We will discuss the status of your proposed hunt before you finalize your plans.
Botswana Elephant Hunting
An elephant hunting safari is a significant undertaking that deserves thoughtful planning. For hunters pursuing this African hunting ambition, securing an available allocation is a central part of organizing the trip.
Contact Kalahari Safaris early to discuss your interest in elephant hunting in Botswana, your preferred season, and the opportunities that may be available. Flexibility in your travel plans can give us more options to explore when quota is limited.
Botswana Lion Hunting
For hunters interested in lion hunting in Botswana, advance organization is particularly important. Opportunities depend on available quota and the arrangements applicable to the proposed hunting area and season.
Tell us your preferred hunting year and how flexible you can be with dates. We can then discuss availability and the next steps required to pursue a lion hunting safari.
Botswana Leopard Hunting
A Botswana leopard hunting safari deserves its own focused planning conversation. If leopard is your priority species, let us know at the outset so we can investigate the relevant hunting opportunities and allocation.
We invite you to share your previous safari experience, intended travel dates, and expectations. These details help us discuss the proposed hunt and what needs to be arranged before booking.
Cape Buffalo Hunting in Botswana
Cape buffalo is an iconic African dangerous game species and a compelling goal for hunters planning their next safari.
Whether you are considering your first Cape buffalo hunting safari or returning to Africa for another buffalo hunt, contact Kalahari Safaris to discuss available quota and potential dates. Early planning helps us explore opportunities and organize your safari around this priority species.
A Safari Planned Around Your Priority Species
Dangerous game hunting requires more than selecting an animal from a list. The planning process must bring together species availability, hunting allocation, dates, and the practical details of your trip.
At Kalahari Safaris, we begin with your goals and a straightforward discussion of what may be possible. Once an opportunity is identified, we can discuss the proposed hunting arrangements, safari duration, accommodation, and travel logistics.
If you also wish to pursue plains game, mention this during your inquiry. We can explore whether additional hunting opportunities can fit into your itinerary.

What if my preferred species or dates are unavailable?
Let us know whether you can consider another season or different dates. Flexibility gives us more possibilities to investigate.

Let us know which additional species interest you. We can discuss whether plains game hunting can be incorporated into the proposed arrangements.
