HUNTING REVIEWS

“This was my first hunting trip to Africa and it lived up to my expectations in every way. I wanted to shoot plains game having had forty years of extensive deer stalking in Scotland. To hunt on foot in Namibia with Steph, whose dedication and consummated ability was a treat. To have pleasure of taking a gold medal impala at 240yds with a gold medal kudu at 150yds with a .375H&H off sticks is just what I wanted to do. At home we usually shoot prone so to use sticks was a very new experience.”

“The memories I have of this trip will live with me forever and has also left me determined to return for another trip with Steph Marais at Keibeb Safaris.”

“It was beyond my expectations. I really enjoyed the home feel of it. It made us feel like family!”

“Really Good

If you are looking for a spa and a ‘canned’ hunt, then you may be disappointed. This is a working ranch that has a down to earth approach. You can expect honesty and fairness with a deep understanding of the terrain and animals. It was a perfect trip.”

“Truly a hunt to remember. The sheer number of animals and species encountered made the hunt most memorable. In addition to hunting, like a tourist, I photographed much of the wildlife which made the entire experience even more exciting. I left Keibeb Safaris after nine days of hunting feeling like I had experienced a true hunting experience. I would love to return to hunt big Kudu and of course Nyala. Thank you both for the wonderful memories.”

“Part of this has to do with one’s expectations. I loved every minute of my time here and on tour, too. Can’t wait to return. I really couldn’t have imagined how tough the hunting would be. I had expected to take 7 – 8 animals, so not even having had the rifle up on many of them is disappointing.

The beautiful lapa and boma were the focus of many great time.”

“I strongly recommend Keibeb Safaris to anyone looking to plan a hunt in Namibia. We had an incredible experience with Keibeb Safaris, and my father and I agree that it was by far the best vacation either of us had been on in a long time. The country Namibia is very beautiful and felt very safe and welcoming everywhere we went. Steph and Lara’s knowledge of the country and sights was excellent, and they happily answered the many questions we found ourselves asking about it. They even took us on an impromptu sightseeing tour of local sights like a massive intact meteor and local giant baobab tree thought to be 1000’s of years old. Our hosts treated us great and were very enjoyable to joke, swap stories, and spend time with. They truly made us feel like friends welcomed into their home rather then clients.”

“This was a hunt of a lifetime with my son, will be fondly recalled. Steph is an amazing PH, he not only has a keen eye for spotting & evaluating animals – he is an extraordinary tracker, we were amazed how he tracked a single Oryx across varied terrain for 2 1/2 hrs. With other animals obliterating trail at times. He is so skilled in every aspect – spotting, stalking, getting client into good position, recovering – overall he constantly amazed us, very pleasant & knowledgeable & accommodating. 

We can’t wait to return!”

“We greatly enjoyed our first hunting experience in Africa. Steph was a wonderful host & an exceptional Professional Hunter. We learned a lot from his wealth of knowledge & watching his techniques. Lara was a gracious host & a super chef. The safari portion was relaxing & a lot of fun. The plans changed slightly & unable to see the Delta or Victoria Falls and included a lot of driving time. Never the less we saw 3 of Africa’s Big 5 & saw the people of the region & had an enjoyable time.

Thanks!”

“There was never a time I didn’t enjoy my stay/hunt. Coming in as a stranger/client and leaving as a friend is very nice. Everyone made it fun and kept it interesting. The food was top tier and the hunting was as well. Seeing how much everyone knows about the wildlife is very cool and it always taught me something. I may of not harvested all the animals I was after, but what I did I was very pleased with. I will 100% come back and look forward to another stay.

Thank you all for the great experience!”

“One of the best times of my life, the food was like a 5 star hotel. Any thing, that you would like to drink. Rooms are very clean. I would 100% recommend coming here to hunt and get away. Bring the whole family for a different vacation. When I come back my wife will be with me and I can’t wait!”

“My experience with Keibeb Safaris was absolutely wonderful. Steph & his wife, Lara, did a fabulous job accommodating your every need. The food was wonderful – love that they use all of the meat harvested (both for own food and for the community).

Hunting was great, truly enjoyed all the stalking. Overall, it felt like what a hunting lodge should be … just rustic enough while still being comfortable.

I would without a doubt recommend Keibeb Safaris to anyone looking for a ‘true’ hunt in Africa. I will be returning and hope to one day use Steph on other Big Game hunts throughout Africa.”

“From the first time I met Steph and Lara in Oklahoma City in 2019 to finally getting over to hunt in 2021 I can’t say enough about how amazing an experience it was. The hunting was absolutely amazing. We had a group of 4 of us and over 8 days of hunting. We were able to harvest 13 different species and a total of 28 animals. You will not have anyone that will hunt as hard as Steph will for you and Lara will keep you completely stuffed with some of the absolutely best cooking I have ever eaten. Can’t wait to get back!”

PHOTOGRAPHIC SAFARI REVIEW

“World Class.

From picking us up and handling our bags at the airport, to helping us get settled into our lodges in the evening, no detail was overlooked. We arrived as strangers and left feeling like we had made two new friends. The knowledge Steph and Lara have of the country, the animals and Africa in general is astounding. I cannot speak highly enough about my time in Namibia with Keibeb Safaris. If you are looking for an adventure, look no further. You will not be disappointed!”

“One of the most amazing things I have ever done. I will truly never forget this adventure and have the pictures to continually remind me. I especially enjoyed Etosha National Park and all the wildlife encountered. The overall experience was beautiful, educational and most certainly entertaining. Thanks Steph, Lara the Namibian highways were a wonder to behold and I will never complain about Canadian highways again.”

“I had a superb time. We all laughed a lot, learned a lot, and saw so much. I had high expectations, and they were exceeded. I’d do it again in a heart beat! Your advice at market places helped us acquire some great items.”
