Hunting Area

Botswana needs no introduction to the hunting fraternity – offering some of the finest and most authentic hunting experiences in Africa. McDonald Safaris has an expansive history of hunting in Botswana since the early 60’s until dangerous game hunting stopped in 2014. Since dangerous game hunting reopened in 2019, we have worked closely with local operators who run safaris in prime hunting concessions across the country.
