Cheetah Hunting

Namibia, boasts the highest Cheetah population worldwide, making it the ideal destination for those who seek an exciting Cheetah hunting safari.

Cheetah Hunting is Difficult

Cheetah hunting is an arduous task because they have a vast territory and are constantly on the move. The density of Cheetahs varies depending on the availability of prey, and we have an abundance of game in our territory. Unlike Leopard or Lion hunting, baiting is ineffective for Cheetahs because they only eat freshly killed meat. Nevertheless, if you happen to stumble upon a freshly killed antelope by Cheetahs, the likelihood of them returning to eat their prey is very high, even if they have seen or smelled you. This is a fortunate encounter and an opportunity to see them return to their prey can be quickly seized by constructing a simple makeshift hide.

You have to have a little luck on a cheetah hunt.

It can be said that Cheetah hunts mostly rely on chance encounters. Typically, these encounters occur while traveling long distances by car over our territory, although tracking can also be conducted. However, the Cheetah is a particularly challenging animal to track for various reasons. Hunting can also be done from a blind at a waterhole or known areas frequented by Cheetahs at our territory, such as specific plains, play trees, and scat rocks. Hunting at these locations tremendously increases the chance of a successful Cheetah hunt.
