Hunting the Kalahari

The Black Death!
The Ultimate Challenge!

Buffalo hunting is always special, but Buffalo hunting in the Kalahari is something else entirely.

The vast Kalahari gives us the luxury of choice. With outstanding Buffalo numbers, we don't have to rush a hunt or settle for the first good bull we see. We can pass mature bulls, stay patient, and wait for the old warrior we're looking for.

It all starts before sunrise. Finding a fresh track in the sand, reading every sign, and following that old bull through the Kalahari is an experience that's difficult to put into words. Every step builds the anticipation until you're within 50 yards of one of Africa's most iconic animals—without him ever knowing you're there.

For us, Buffalo hunting is about far more than hunting the Black Death.

It's about the complete experience: tracking, stalking, patience, and earning every yard on foot.

If authentic, walk-and-stalk Buffalo hunting is on your bucket list, the Kalahari is a place you'll never forget.

THROWBACK - CATCH & COOK 2026

Luke's incredible Black Impala is a reminder of just how diverse the Kalahari truly is. From iconic plains game to some of Africa's most unique colour variants, every day in the Kalahari offers something different.

For a bowhunter, this place is pure paradise. Whether you're tucked into a waterhole blind with game passing within metres, or putting your stalking skills to the test on a walk-and-stalk hunt, every opportunity is earned and every shot is unforgettable.

The Kalahari has a way of getting under your skin. Every hunt is different, every stalk tells a story, and every success is the result of patience, skill, and respect for the animal. That's what keeps bowhunters coming back to the Kalahari year after year.

This is the magic of the Kalahari.
This is the HTK Experience.

The Taste of the Kalahari!

A springbok rack of ribs from camp a while back — and certainly one of our favourites.

There’s something truly special about the full circle of the safari experience. The excitement of the hunt, the satisfaction of harvesting an animal, and then sitting around camp enjoying the very same game you pursued is an experience that stays with you.

At HTK Safaris, we believe the experience doesn’t end when the hunt is over. Exceptional game meals are a big part of the HTK experience, and we strive to provide some of the best game you’ve ever tasted.

From the Kalahari to the campfire, from the hunt to the table — this is what a true African safari is all about.

Gemsbok Hunting in the Kalahari!

There are few things that get the adrenaline going quite like a gemsbok hunt in the Kalahari. Two exceptional Gemsbok down during the morning session, and both hunts were a perfect reminder of why these animals are so special to hunt.

On this one, we stepped off the truck and immediately went into a spot-and-stalk. We picked up a good bull and slowly started working our way closer, carefully reading the terrain and every movement. Eventually, we found him bedded down.

Now came the hard part — waiting.

Gemsbok hunting is never easy. They are extremely wary, sharp-eyed animals, and one wrong move can end the stalk before it even begins. So we settled in and waited, knowing that patience could be the difference between getting an opportunity and watching the bull disappear into the Kalahari.

Eventually, he got to his feet.

For a moment, everything came together. He presented a beautiful broadside shot, and after all the tracking, crawling, waiting and anticipation, the opportunity we had worked so hard for was finally there.

That is what makes true walk-and-stalk hunting so rewarding. You earn every opportunity. You work with the terrain, learn the animal and slowly close the distance until you are presented with the closest and best possible shot.

The Kalahari has a way of producing exceptional gemsbok, but it makes you work for them.
What an adrenaline-filled morning, what an incredible hunt, and what a week we had in the Kalahari.

The Kalahari Stays With You!

There are places you visit, and then there are places that become a part of you. The Kalahari is one of those places.

Our latest group left with heavy hearts after an exceptional hunting vacation in the Kalahari.

Because somewhere between the long days in the bush, the tracks in the red sand, the excitement of the hunt and the evenings around the fire, something special happens. You stop being clients and outfitters and start becoming friends.

You share stories, laughter, challenges, successes and quiet moments. You get to know each other beyond the hunt, and before you know it, a group of people who arrived as strangers have become part of the HTK family.

The hunting is exceptional, but the Kalahari is about so much more than the animals.

It’s the people.
It’s the sunsets.
It’s the red sand beneath your boots.
It’s the campfire stories and the quiet moments.
It’s the wildness, the space and the feeling of being somewhere truly special.

And perhaps that’s why leaving is never easy.

Somehow, along the way, the Kalahari stops being just a destination.

It becomes a place you carry with you.

This one was earned!

Seven days of hunting. Miles and miles covered. Tracks followed, glassing points checked, bulls found—and bulls passed up because they simply weren’t the bull we were looking for.

There were moments when the Kalahari tested us. Long days, tired legs, but we kept going.

And then, finally, it all came together.
We found a old bull with the shape we had been searching for and the opportunity we had worked so hard for was finally there.

This is what true Kalahari track-and-stalk hunting is all about. No shortcuts. No easy answers. Just boots on the ground, reading tracks, following the bush, making the right decisions and having the patience to wait for the bull you came for.

When it finally happens, there’s nothing quite like it.
Seven days of hard work, one incredible Kudu, and a memory that will last a lifetime.

Congratulations on an absolutely incredible bull.
You earned every inch of this one.

The Kalahari. Raw. Wild. Authentic.
