 We have recently had two groups of Icelandic hunters at Rooisand and are getting unmixed positive feed back from all hunters. Roisand is an unfenced game ranch in excess of 8000 hectares (80 sq km) in a mountainous semi desert hunting area halfway towards the Namibian coast. This ranch has a particular strong population of Mountain Zebras, Springboks, Oryx along with many other species.
Very challenging hunting in stunning mountainous terrain. Often quite long shots are needed due to the open terrain. Roisand is one of the three ranches in our 3 game ranches combination program, but we are also offering very good value for money introductory prices for hunting just on Roisand. This is particularly suitable for a combined hunting / family trip as there are lots of activities for the accompanying family members e.g. photo safari, bird watching, hiking, horse back riding, star watching (Namibia is one of three most interesteding destinantions for star watching and Roisand has its own Observatory), tennis playing, workout in the gym, rock climbing, exploring minerals, practice your shooting at the clay shooting range, massage, relaxing in the sauna&pool, day trips to Windhoek or Swakopmund. Some of these activities will incur a minor extra cost, but our rates for accompaning partners and children are very good.
Apart from various dedicated hunting packages we offer a family holliday special with 3 days of hunting and 3 days of relaxation/other activities. This combines very well with an additional week or so in Swakopmund on the coast. Swakopmund is Namibias holiday and adventure centre. It is a pleasant seaside town with many nice litte boutiques, restaurants, coffee shops etc and a nice year round spring climate. From Swakopmund you can go on excursions into the world oldest desert, do quadbiking in the dunes, catch 100 kg sharks, do paragliding, sandboarding etc ......, the options are endless. We can organise everything for you in advance.
We only bring in a very limited number of hunters every year to avoid the game getting spooked, but we can still accomodate a few groups in 2010 (the seasons end by the end of November). The late season in September and October is often very good.

16 May 2012  We start in the morning and head to the area around glacier Eyjafjallajökull. We drive on rough roads and cross numerous glacier rivers to reach Thorsmörk glacier and volcano valley. We spend some time exploring these adventurous surroundings. In the early afternoon we leave this lovely rugged environment and drive down to the black basalt sand shore south of Eyjafjallajökull-glacier. Right here by the Atlantic Ocean we experience the enhanced driving ability with the partly deflated 38" tires. In the end off the day we head back to Rangá lodge. More... |

15 May 2012 
We have some very good days available in Hvannadalsa, one of our rivers in the West-Fjords. We have been cultivating this river for a number of years now, and the results have been extremely good. A couple of years ago the river nearly broke the 500 salmon mark – on only 3 rods.
Like so many rivers in Iceland the prime season is from late July until late August, so these are very good dates.

14 May 2012  Recent Catches
The River Dee saw a lot of anglers fishing the length of the catchment looking for the elusive salmon with catches reported from Park to Crathie. If you were in the right place at the right time there were fish to be caught. The numbers of fish running this river so far do appear to be well down on last year’s excellent spring catch with season to date catch of 1286 quite a bit down on the 5 year average spring catch of 2028. That said FishDee beats reported 143 salmon to 21 lbs and 8 sea trout. Carlogie had an excellent total with anglers catching 21 salmon, Aboyne Water and Birse reported 10 apiece with Ballogie and Cairnton just one behind on 9 apiece.

14 May 2012  The spring has finally arrived in Iceland and now we are all awaiting the summer with great anticipation. Even though the trout season has already started – we are all counting down the days until the salmon season starts. It’s only three weeks away.
Blanda is our first river to open on June 5th and in mid and late June other Icelandic rivers follow suit. Our new river Skjalfandafljot opens on June 18th (we are very excited about this one), the Ranga’s ( East & West) come into play in the beginning of July and Vididalsa opens in late June. By July 1st all our rivers in Iceland have opened up.
Gaula in Norway and Kola and Varzina in Russia are in their prime in June – But Lakselva in Norway reaches the height of the season in July.
The Dee in Scotland has been open since the beginning of February and began with a bang, low waters plagued the river in March but things are looking up now.
In July we will welcome our first groups in the new hunting & angling camp in Greenland – our biggest hunting project to date. |
