KOWAS CONCESSION
Kowas Concession
The Kowas Hunting concession is situated in central Namibia where the central highlands border the Kalahari, conveniently situated just over an hours drive from Hosea Kutako International Airport (Windhoek). This concession operates from the Strauss family ranch, KOWAS. The Kowas concession area is approximately 400 000 acres. This is a plains game only area. We offer 22 Plains game species in an area teaming with wildlife. The Kalahari semi desert landscape brings you to the reality that there is a place where there is room and time enough. A beauty impossible to explain. Predators that occur in this area are: Leopard, Cheetah, Brown hyena, Caracal, Black back Jackal and a variety of smaller cats and foxes.
Hunt savannas, mountains, and thornbush veldt teeming with an infinite variety of game. Through an unwavering focus on conservation and ethical hunting practices, Kowas Hunting Safaris provides hunts for unpressured game and unsurpassed trophy quality.

Plains Game Hunting Regions
The landscape supports tree and shrub savannah of moderate to high species diversity. Much of the area is Acacia savanna, with open to semi-open, short bushland and grassland species. This vegetation type supports a very high diversity of species. Taller acacia trees are quite abundant, specifically in areas associated with rivers. This area is characterized by its hilly countryside and valleys, averages an altitude of 1,500 metres (4 600 ft) above sea level.
The vegetation is mainly shrub land and can be classified as the Highland Savannah and the Camel Thorn Savannah. The Highland Savannah area, which covers most of the region, consists mainly of acacia thorn trees. The vegetation comprises bushes, shrubs and good grass cover in parts.
