The Lockdown at NGIRI

It is a very difficult time not only for us as Farm Owners, Outfitters and PH´s but also for our employees such as Skinners, Trackers, Farm Workers, Chefs and Housekeepers – without them our farm life and hunting would be impossible!

We are aware of our responsibility for them and have continued to employ them despite of the total lockdown in our industry at present!

They are now helping us to maintain everything, carrying out neccessary renovation works and building our new butchery and meat processing facility with us.

As we are not allowed to host hunting guests at present no meat is within reach for them. Therefore Jaco, our Farm Manager and Game Ranger hunts venison for our staff – from Guinnea Fowls to Warthog, Impala and Blesbock which we then share with our employees and their families.

Hunting with locals in June 2020

Due to the Corona-pandemia all foreign hunts had to be postponed. Everyone tries to survive somehow. We are only allowed to hunt with local hunters at this stage:

Our Ridgeback puppies

All our puppies have found new, loving homes – exept of Lara & Bella who will stay with us at NGIRI 🙂 It was really hard to let their brothers and sisters go…
