Thanks for the family atmosphere, warm welcome, and excellent trophy quality.

Jacques is one of the best and most enjoyable PH’s I ever hunted with. He clearly loves what he’s doing, has boundless energy and enthusiasm, and works very hard to put clients on quality animals. Kowas’ vast 400,000 acres of hunting country are loaded with a wide variety of free-range game, and because of Jacques’ careful management aimed at a limited, well-distributed harvest focused on post-prime males, trophy quality is superb!

Thank you to the Strauss family and staff for a fantastic safari. You made my dream come true.

I am at a loss for words to express my wonder for the amazing trophy species! The trophies were so carefully selected - I have seen no better game management than at Kowas. You have exceeded my wildest dreams.

The hunting was fantastic. Can not wait to return.

Thank you for providing the most spectacular and fulfilling safari I could ever imagine. We can not wait to return.

“Again”: another great trip: 15th time to Kowas...

What an amazing experience. We are now spoiled because I cannot imagine any place with as much attention to detail for the experience: great hunting/ trophy quality.

I cannot thank you enough. Excellent experience all over.

This was my 2nd safari to Africa but far exceeded my expectations. Everything was magnificent: the hunting and guiding, trophy quality, food, staff, accommodations – new friends made.

I look forward to our next adventure and our next conversations around the Kowas campfire.

I could not have asked for a better first safari experience. Your hospitality, accommodation, hunting method, trophy quality and variety of game are second to none.

Thank you for an incredible safari. You made it memorable.

The hunting was tough but rewarding. Outstanding trophy quality. Until we meet again.

The natural beauty is awe-inspiring and the memories of the hunts and fellowship shall remain with us forever.

Thank you for helping to make a dream come true.

My 1st Namibian safari as certainly one to remember forever. I can not wait to come back.

This safari was more exciting than I ever thought possible. We created memories we will never forget. Your hospitality and attention to detail are top notch; variety of game species and trophy quality is outstanding!

We were lucky enough to hunt (and filming) about a dozen different concessions around southern Africa. We both agreed that the camp and hunting the Straus family created is near the top of the list. Jacques is a fantastic hunter: one of the top three I have ever hunted with - The best all-around PH I have ever met.

Thanks for the special moments shared with our Namibian friends. Hunting and food were excellent.

Our family had an incredible time. Hunting was an amazing experience.

This trip far exceeded our expectations for our first safari. We will return soon.

Our 1st African safari adventure was everything we hoped it could be – and more!

Everything about Kowas exceeded our expectations – it could not be better.

Everything from the hunting to the food to the discussions and trophies harvested were amazing.

Thank you for making our Father / Son experience and adventure an excellent event which produced many lifelong memories and stories we can share with family and friends for years to come.

Kowas is the perfect hunting adventure safari location for families!

I didn’t come to Namibia expecting to return for another hunt in future, but that has changed – I will definitely be back! I enjoyed my time both on the hunt and off the hunt. Thank you for the excellent food, hunting, learning and memories. I will never forget my experience at Kowas.

This is my 3rd hunting trip to Africa – It was an outstanding safari! Top level service, hospitality and hunting resulted in outstanding emotions during this safari. The best place in Namibia for perfect hunting!

Outstanding safari! Lots of game and a truly challenging hunt, led by expertise PH’s. Kowas offers a high-quality, customized experience which is head-and-shoulders above the “fast food hunting: offered by the large corporate “safari factories” in other places.

We did not dream of seeing so much game! This has been above and beyond a trip of a lifetime for us. We’ll forever cherish our memories of Kowas. Amazing trophies. We will be back.

Ever since I was a kid, I dreamt bout coming to Africa. I read every book by Peter Hathaway Capstick and becoming more fascinated with Africa. Coming to Kowas was truly an experience of a lifetime. This was magical. Thank you for the phenomenal experience. Can not wait to be back.

I have hunted with other outfits in the past but nothing compares with the excellent attention and experience that the Strauss family offers. Thank you for allowing me to fulfil a dream and an experience of a lifetime!

We keep on coming back – and will return again. You have perfected the art of creating memories to cherish for a lifetime.

Our second trip to hunt with Kowas Adventure Safaris was just as impressive as the first.  Great hunting, beautiful accommodations,  and creating friendships that will last forever. We look forward to out next trip with Kowas.

2022 was the first African Safari for my oldest son and I. We had our best adventure together! We harvested many great trophies but had no idea we would make a new family in Namibia. We were blown away by the camp, the staff and the hunting. Already planning for 2024!

My wife and I had our first trip to Africa, and we are glad we chose Namibia and Kowas Adventure Safaris. From the moment we started planning the trip prior to Covid 19, to the day we left Kowas to fly home, the entire staff was always responsive and helpful. Danie, Ansie, Jacques, Elleni and Matheus made us feel part of the family. We experienced genuine friendship at Kowas. Kowas is not only run as a successful business but also as a passionate way of life for the Strauss Family and all the Kowas staff.

It is impossible for me to appropriately articulate the amount of gratitude I have for the Strauss family and the entire Kowas team. Their approach to client service was warm, welcoming, and caring. It’s rare to find such genuine people, and we’re incredibly fortunate that they are now part of our lives.

When it comes to finding and successfully hunting big free-range kudu bulls, PH Jacques Strauss has no equal. With nearly a half-million acres of prime free-range kudu habitat in his concession and a lifetime of passion for the species, Jacques will find you the bull of your dreams. I’m convinced he’s part kudu himself. 

We had an amazing time during our Honey Moon Safari at Kowas, the service was next level, the trophies outstanding and the experience unbelievable! We can’t wait to go back!

My first experience in Africa was with Kowas and after other trips to Africa it is still by far the best experience I have had. The hospitality of the Strauss Family is second to none. They strive to make your experience the best available through their impeccable attention to detail, trophy quality and generous spirits.

I couldn’t have imagined a better first African hunting Safari. Thank you Kowas for an incredible adventure and amazing hospitality!

I can not express what a life changing time we had. The hunt experience and magnificent game would always be cherished.

I've been with Kowas 15 times, and looking forward to 15 more. I booked for the Bwabwata National Park with Kowas in July ‘23 for my 80th birthday celebration. I have conducted 38 trip to Africa - and have not met anyone better.

I can’t say enough positive things about all the staff at Kowas! Matheus and Jacques were great introductions to hunting with PHs in Africa, and we were all in awe of their capability to spot/stalk/track/answer any questions about any animals we saw. Danie, Ansie, and Elleni were wonderful company at every delicious meal and explained numerous traditions and customs in Namibia. All of the staff, including the chefs, drivers, skinners, and housekeeping were extremely friendly, polite, and catered to everything we could have asked. 

This was my 5th trip to Kowas. It was the best African hunt/tour trip ever! The touring, hunting, meals, and accommodations were superb. The hospitality extended to us by the whole Strauss family was exceptional. Jacques and Matheus do their best to get you the animals you are hunting. Every visit to Kowas had new additions to the camp making it bigger and better. Mahango camp and staff were excellent too. Thank you for the memorable experience. Hard to believe it has been 19 years since our first hunt at Kowas.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home and providing the best hunt ever!!!

I have had the opportunity to hunt with Kowas 3 times and have taken numerous world class trophies. Although this is probably testimonial enough, the biggest compliment that I can pay them is the feedback of the people I recommend to trust Kowas with their safari. In all of the instances I have sent my friends and colleges to Kowas, they all have come back extremely happy. Whether it is the hunting, the hospitality or the overall experience, they all book again.

What we have experienced here at Kowas, was perfection in every way. We had successful hunts, great trophies and we met a lot of nice people. We will be back.

This was the 5th trip to Africa, and the best African hunt/adventure ever!! The hunting, meals and accommodation were wonderful. The hospitality extended to us by the whole Strauss family, were exceptional. They make you feel at home. We are already planning a next trip to Kowas. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

We will never forget the times spend at Kowas. We will always cherish the excitement of the hunts and then the moments by the campfire. Thank you for allowing us the chance to be part of the family, thanks to all the staff. The wonderful trophies are icing on the cake.

This was my 3rd trip to Kowas. The first two trips, I came with my father. As always, this father-and-son hunting was excellent and exciting. My 15-year-old son was amazed by the wildlife and the African experience in general as it is such a departure from our everyday life. The staff was friendly and helpful. We were always treated like a member of the Strauss family. We are so thankful for the opportunity to experience Africa in this way. I will cherish this trip with my son for the rest of my life and will always remember what Jacques taught us in the field.

The Kowas experience has been truly an outstanding one. This was my first hunt with Kowas and the 4th hunt in Africa. The hunting experience was truly outstanding. The Mahango camp and staff were excellent as was the Kowas location. The level of care, attention, and assistance provided by the Strauss family through the entire process, was outstanding.

This was the first trip and safari to Africa. It was the most amazing two weeks we could imagine. Everything exceeded our already high expectations. Our time together was tremendous. The hunting was better than I could possibly have imagined; amazing, with exceptional trophies taken. The accommodation was comfortable. The meals were delicious. It was a hunter’s paradise. We enjoyed the evening campfires and comradery. We are grateful for the way we were treated. We think about our trip often and we still talk about it daily. See you soon again.

While the place is magnificent, the hunting extraordinary and the camp an oasis, it is you, the Strauss Team and Staff who we will treasure the most. Thank you for making our father-and-son trip to Namibia so very special by harvesting unique trophies. We pray it will only be the beginning of a lifetime friendship. Your delivery of an experience was characterized by: integrity, clear communication, a warm sense of humour, generosity, unpretentiousness, and family.

We not only made memories for a lifetime but new friends for a lifetime as well. Kowas will be the place to introduce the kids to Africa. I re-read my journal all the time, reliving those great memories of the hunt, great trophies harvested, and the time spent in camp with Kowas.
