Hunt of a Lifetime
**Everything went perfectly. To understand how unique this horseback hunt truly is, you need to know a few details.**
First of all, Dustin is running a huge company, which makes it even more impressive how quickly he responds to inquiries (as long as he has cell service – something that is far from guaranteed in the Yukon, and everyone should understand that).
I was fortunate enough to be flown into base camp on a beautiful day. This was the starting point for our 9-day hunt, and there I met my guide and wrangler. Another team was also in camp at that time. The friendliness and professionalism of those guides were outstanding as well. For anyone worried about running into other hunters: this was the only contact, and we had absolutely no overlap during the hunt.
From there we spent nine days in the wilderness. You may stay in tents, in small cabins, or – like in base camp – in a larger cabin. The incredible landscape and vastness of this hunting area are simply breathtaking. Traveling by horseback allows you to cover an impressive amount of country.
I was lucky – though I believe this applies to all of Dustin’s guides – to be paired with a incredibly hardworking guide and wrangler. Being the last hunter of the season, I was amazed at how hard Tim and Mac were still working after 80 days in the backcountry. This alone gave me complete confidence in everything they did, and that trust is essential.
Every hunter, especially European hunters, needs to let go of the idea that you will see game behind every corner. Only then can you enjoy the hunt from the very first day. This is true wilderness, and that affects wildlife behavior. All the more fascinating it is when you finally encounter a moose or another species.
If you are fortunate enough to harvest a moose, you will be impressed by the professionalism that follows. From field dressing and quartering the animal, to packing it out, and eventually leaving camp (in my case a full trail-out) – everything was handled with absolute skill and care. It was a worthy ending to a true hunt of a lifetime.
I can wholeheartedly recommend Dustin as an outfitter. One small piece of advice: to truly enjoy a horseback hunt, make sure to take a few riding lessons beforehand.
**Thank you, Dustin, for making my lifelong dream come true.**

Chinese Water Deer and Munjac Stalking
Home Counties were very professional and arranged London pickup, drop off and local accommodation. Ivan was very skilled and great to be around during the hunt. The hunting areas were close and very picturesque; lovely English countryside. Winslow was quaint and good local, non-hunting excursions for my wife.

Fourteen days with Anton
Antonie Esterhuizen of Estreux Safaris offered a deal a while ago that seemed made for me. We hunted in the Grootfontein area as years of prolonged drought had made the proposed hunt in Kaokaland unfeasible. You can read plenty of reviews of hunting from other posters, the sentiments of whom I share, so I won't spend much time reviewing the hunt itself; instead, I want to review my non-hunting week, because it will give a pretty clear picture of Anton and Estreux.
The second week of my time with Anton was truly something special. After hunting for seven days, he took me on a trip through northwest Namibia. It was apparent from the reviews of Estreux Safaris that Anton is a very knowledgeable man, and this was so evident on the trip. I cannot believe that anyone in Namibia knows his country as well as he does. His encyclopedic knowledge of the flora, fauna, geology, and history of Namibia are formidable, and at every turn we encountered people who know him from his many services to Namibia. His trip included an eclectic variety of places and experiences; every day and night brought a different experience: Etosha Heights, Etosha, Camp Aussicht, a mountain-top villa of his Himba expert and mining friend, Marius, Sesfontein, Ongongo waterfall, the Himba sacred mountain, Khowarib Lodge, the Skeleton Coast, Swakopmund, and a trip to Joe's in Windhoek on the evening before my departure. This is by no means the complete list. His attention to detail and desire to satisfy his clients can be illustrated with two brief examples: one night, he had me seated in such a way as to afford me the impressive spectacle of the full moon rising from behind a mountain just as supper was served; on another, he presided over the arrival and feeding of four porcupines who then provided hours of entertainment as we spent the evening with his mountain-dwelling friends. I had once mentioned that it would be nice to see a porcupine.
I have had numerous trips to Africa and have hunted in four countries. I have been fortunate that every trip has been very good to exceptional. Anton stands at the top of the list. I will certainly return, but will be sure to take more time. There are so many places to hunt and visit in Namibia, and Anton is the guy I will want to guide me in further exploration of that wonderful country. Give him a try. Anton will put you on to excellent animals, and teach you so much that will your time will be very fulfilling.
