According to the RSA Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA), 553 rhino have been poached in South Africa to date. A spokesman for the WorldWide Fund for Nature in South Africa (WWF-SA) is reported to have said that the overall rhino population will soon begin declining.
It is expected that in excess of the 2012 tally, 668 rhino will be poached this year. Aggressive anti-poaching operations have not proved particularly successful in the reduction of poaching activities despite the arrest of approximately 150 poachers this year. It does not appear that arrests of the actual poachers will solve the problem. The WWF-SA is apparently of the opinion that success might be achieved if the perpetrators higher up the chain should be targeted by law enforcement, because they form part of international organised crime syndicates.

Why Edmonton, Alberta?
The ‘Texas’ of Canada, Alberta is rich in oil! And with nearly 370,000 hunters in the surrounding western provinces of Canada, this is where the market is!
The Facts about Hunters in Alberta – (2008 Update excluding neighbouring provinces)
- Annually, there are over 114,000 licensed hunters.
- 18,000 bow hunters in Alberta.
- 7,000 youth hunters in Alberta.
- 8,400 female hunters in Alberta.
- Average age of an Alberta hunter is 40 years (Male) and 44 years (Female).
Edmonton is the second largest city in Alberta and the economic activity is mostly centered on petroleum; with agriculture, high tech industries, and tourism.
Alberta is one of the strongest outdoor markets in Canada, with 95 species of wildlife, the 2nd largest of any province in Canada, thus creating a very strong hunting fraternity.
In a survey on public opinion 70% of the respondents reported having either a very favourable attitude toward hunting in Alberta (conducted for the Hunting for Tomorrow Foundation). This is good news, as it creates an environment of a hunter friendly province, which means more potential business for you.
The target market for this expo are qualified hunters with both the means and interest to hunt in Africa. In terms of geographical focus, marketing efforts are being concentrated on the province of Alberta, Saskatchewan, British Columbia and the US states of Washington and Montana. There is a large, untapped market in Canada. Canadian hunters are passionate about their sport, but have had little exposure to African hunting opportunities and its affordability.

African Hunting Expo – Scandinavia
Sweden 8th – 9th March 2014
Denmark : Jutland 12th – 13th March 2014
Denmark : Copenhagen 15th – 16th March 2014
Friday ( 11:00 – 20:00 ) / Saturday ( 12:00 – 18:00 )
During the last year we have spoken to lots of hunting outfitters, and many of them want to explore the Scandinavian hunting market. We at the African Hunting Gazette have decided to host a road show targeting areas in Sweden and Denmark where most of the hunting communities live.
After visiting both countries we have come up with an idea that is a hassle-free way of doing three shows. Transport, food and accommodation is very expensive so we have decided to offer an all-inclusive package that covers these, plus the venue, banner production, Wi-Fi access, tables and chairs. Flights to and from Copenhagen and alcohol are not included.
To start with, four mini-buses will be hired.
Exhibiters will arrive on 7 March 2014 and be met at Copenhagen International Airport at the Information Centre in the main terminal building. The transport will depart for the Swedish town of Astorp for a stay at the Best Western Hotell Klippan.
After breakfast on 8 and 9 March 2014, exhibiters will be driven to VramsGunnarstorp Castle which is the venue for the two-day show starting at 10 a.m. and finishing at 6 p.m. This venue is on a famous hunting estate and has its own indoor video shooting range where we could have competitions for the best/luckiest shot. There is a lot of free parking space so visitors will not have a problem parking.
At 10 a.m. on 10 March 2014, the buses will leave for Jutland to the FuglsØcenter at Mols. It is a scenic seven-hour drive and we will stop off for lunch en route. We will be staying at this venue which has both the hotel and conference facilities. This centre overlooks a bay and has numerous activities on offer. On 11 March we are planning a dinner, cheese and wine evening on a nearby hunting estate.
On Friday, 12 March our expo runs from 11 a.m. till 8 p.m., and Saturday 13 March our expo runs from 12 p.m. till 6 p.m.
On the morning of 14 March 2014 we drive to Copenhagen and stay at the Hotel Østerport for the remainder of our visit. The venue for our expo is at the Charlotte Haven which is a 900 metre walk, or a short train or bus trip, from the hotel. Again, the expo runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on 15 and 16 March 2014.
On 17 March we leave Copenhagen for South Africa.
Notes :
- Included is all food and beverage (excludes alcohol)
- Included is all transport to the various destinations (except flights to and from Copenhagen)
- Should you wish to hire your own car, Carhire 3000 is the best.
- All destinations include free Wi-Fi and Internet
- Suggested airline route – Emirates flight via Dubai – www.emirates.com

From cover to cover and here, from click to click, the AHG brings you everything you need to know about hunting the great continent of Africa. From the southern tip of Africa to the northern reaches of Ethiopia, we go about pursuing our simple and unambiguous objective. Everything we do, be it the magazine we publish, or the marketing consulting we offer the outfitters, the African Hunting Shows we host, or the International Hunting expos we attend – it is for one reason – to promote hunting in Africa.
I hope this website helps you find out what you need to know about going on a hunting safari in Africa. We are financially and editorially independent. We recommend the use of registered outfitters in Africa and we also support all the country-specific hunting associations in Africa. Having attended international hunting shows for over 10 years, we are the only African hunting magazine that is based in Africa AND north America. We attend more international Expos than any other and are also the only African hunting magazine to hosts our own shows. By starting in Toronto and now expanding into Atlanta and soon to launch in Calgary, these boutique, ‘all & only’ African Hunting Shows are our next step to demonstrate how serious we are about hunting in Africa!
Folks, we have 1, 2, 3 and 5-year subscription options. The longer you subscribe, the more you save! Please take a look at our special promotions and also what our references have to say.
Finally, if we don’t live up to your expectations, we offer a money-back guarantee.
Thank you for your time and remember – you’re only a click away from Africa!
Yours in good hunting,
Richard D. Lendrum
