The Etosha National Park was proclaimed a
game reserve by the German Governor Von
Lindequist in 1907. This park with its
abundant herds of game and unique landscape,
remains as Namibia's major tourist
attraction. In the heart of the Park is the
"Place of dry water" or the Etosha Pan. This
is a large, flat depression of about 3200 sq
miles. Seeing large herds of game in this
place of shimmering makes Etosha a unique
experience.
Etosha is one of the major wildlife
sanctuaries in Africa. A wide variety of
animal species is found in the Park, which
include Elephant, Giraffe, Blue-Wildebeest,
Black Rhino, Lions, Cheetah, Leopard, Hyena,
Jackal and various antelope. It is an ideal
area for bird watchers, as there are over
300 bird species found in the Park. A
highlight of the park is the flood-lit
waterhole at the Okaukuejo rest camp where
Elephants and other game come down to drink
at night.

The Namutoni rest-camp has a "Beau Geste"
charm and this historic fortress is now a
national monument. The third camp, Halali,
is a fine modern camp shaded by Mopani trees
and derives its name from the German
tradition of blowing a hunting bugle to
signify the end of the hunt. A flood-lit
waterhole, the Moringa, was established at
Halali during the course of 1992.

The wide open spaces and abundant wildlife
make a visit to the park an unforgettable
experience.

Swakopmund, a World Class Destination for
Shark Angling from the Shore

First of all we have to catch the bait.
Gully Sharks are used for bait to get the
really big ones.
Fishing is done from the bank. We make use
of an experienced fishing guide. We have
been fishing for many years and found his
personal skills and success to be among the
best.
Success is his motto together on putting you
on the Big Ones.
Along the Namibian coast it is especially
the Copper Shark or Bronze Whaler Shark that
is sought after. Also known as the “Bronzy”,
its local common name refers to its coppery
body colour, while its international name
apparently refers to its alleged habit of
feeding on whale carcasses, especially in
Australian waters.
On average one in five copper sharks weighs
more than 198 Lbs, while weights in excess
of 330 Lbs, are not uncommon. A Bronzy of
this weight has a tag length of about 2.3
meter. Really big copper sharks can weigh up
to 396 Lbs. The copper shark is renowned for
its fighting ability. It is one of the few
sharks that jump right out of the water, and
it can clear as much as 2m above the
surface. It does this in an attempt to
escape. The rough skin will snap your line
if wrapped around it. When angling in rocky
areas an angler might loose all sharks when
hooked as they use the sharp rocks to break
the line.
In cold water of around 18ºC, the sharks
tend to be lively and very active. Copper
sharks feed in shallow water, favoring
temperatures ranging between 16ºC and 22ºC.
The best season along the Namibian coast is
from January to end May and from September
to December. When the water temperatures
drop, the sharks migrate northwards into
Angolan waters where they remain until the
water becomes too warm, causing them to
migrate south again.
With the best Fishing Guide in Namibia on
our team we have success throughout the year
landing Sharks on every safari. With the
change in weather we found the coast of
Namibia to keep on producing Sharks no
matter what. This is simply a must after any
safari and we only need a minimum of
three (3) days to ensure your success.
