MAKADI SAFARIS

OUR MAKADI TEAM

Diethelm and Katja Metzger have been running Makadi Safaris since 1996. Diethelm grew up on the farm Otjisauona in the central parts of Namibia and has been hunting all his life. 

He studied Agricultural Economics at the University of Pretoria and finished with a Maters Degree from Texas A & M University, USA. Katja studied Nature Conservation at the Technikon of Pretoria and it is here that they met.

 She manages the household and will also serve a wide variety of delicious venison dishes. Katja and Diethelm have three children , of whom the youngest, Nikolai, just recently joined the family farming business.

Nicola and Nikolai Metzger have joined the family business in May 2014. Since then they have adapted very well and are busy taking over many responsibilities which were formerly carried by Diethelm & Katja alone.

Nikolai was educated at the Grootfontein Agricultural College near Middelburg in South Africa (2011). He did his Internship in Australia where he met his wife Nicola Jayne. They married in April 2014 and moved to Namibia. Nicola was educated in Naracoorte, Australia. In January 2017 Sofie Jayne was born in Windhoek.

How to get there

Transportation to Namibia is usually by air, with direct flights from Johannesburg and Cape Town, as well as direct international flights from Frankfurt. Hosea Kutako International Airport is situated 45 km's east of Windhoek, as strong prevailing winds and high mountain ranges render the Windhoek valley unsuitable for large planes to land.

In the event that one parent is not travelling with the child, the other parent’s affidavit consenting to such travel should be availed. However, an affidavit will not be required if the father’s name does not appear on the child’s birth certificate.

• Travellers should at all times carry unabridged (full) birth certificates of the children, in addition to the children's passports;

• Where applicable, travelers should be in possession of a death certificate of the other parent registered as a parent of the child on the birth certificate.
• Proof of consent from one or or both his or her parents or legal guardian, as the case may be, in the form of an affidavit for the child to travel,

Makadi Safaris

Makadi Safaris has been owned and operated by the Metzger family for three generations. Not only have we maintained our vast hunting areas but also expanded them with a sensible and sustainable game management program in place. The area is never over-hunted, thereby making it possible to take exceptional trophies at all times which can be of world record. Our hunts are always ethical and are based on fair chase. The preferred method of hunting is walk and stalk. As part of our overall contribution to the greater benefit of conservation, Makadi Safaris has, over the years, actively been taking part in several research projects.

Attention to detail and an outstanding personalized service are very important to us. We pride ourselves in offering different game dishes every day. After a long day of hunting, our clients always come home to a nice camp fire and a cosy environment to be able to relax and enjoy gourmet meals in our very elegant dining room. It is our sincere intention that our clients experience a unique, personalized safari!

Reservation Enquiry

Ilala Private Game Reserve

Tucked away in the rugged, burned mountains at the edge of the desert, another kind of paradise awaits you: Ilala Private Game Reserve . Situated 170 km from Windhoek, taking the scenic road, en route to Walvis Bay crossing the breathtaking Gamsberg Pass, or coming from Swakopmund, traveling through the world’s oldest desert, lies the reserve with its 45 000 acres of untouched, awe-inspiring landscape full of game and wilderness.

Although the homestead is only a few miles off the main road, it will seem as though it is the gateway to a different world. One travels through dry river beds and rocky hills to a haven nestled up against a mountain backdrop surrounded by palm trees with valleys lying at its feet. Seated on the white-washed verandah, enjoying a thirst quenching sundowner, you can bear witness to an unsurpassed African sunset as it paints the slopes of the Gamsberg Mountain in hues of pink and mauve.

The old colonial style ranch house was built by the legendary Johann Vivier. A man who made his fortune with diamonds in the days when Africa abounded with adventure and wildlife. It seems as though that at Ilala Private Game Reserve this rings true till this day.

While the mountain slopes are home to the scarce and agile Klipspringer, the Hartmann’s (Mountain) zebra as well as Leopard. Kudu can be seen observed in the dappled riverbeds and on the slopes of the mountains while Gemsbuck (Oryx), and Springbuck graze the grassy plains. The wildlife and landscape can be explored either on guided walks, by four-by-four vehicles or from the sanctuary of the verandah. An inviting pool as well as many shady spots bid you to linger.

Bushman paintings can be admired at two separate locations on Ilala. Who knows, you might even discover others!

Enjoy the hospitality and the personal style that the ranch house offers you. Whether you are reading in the old family library or just allowing your eyes to linger on Africa’s sublime beauty, either way, Ilala Private Game Reserve will be a cherished experience.
