Botswana, Africa: Big Five Reserve

[gritty vale]

I’ve taken a deep dive into my personal thoughts and opinions on what makes COTW so exciting and enjoyable for me. After some time, 2 things stuck out and came to my mind. One, the ability to hunt species that are difficult to get the opportunity to hunt in real life, and two, the never constant pursuit of multiple species. Revontuli Coast is popularly ranked in most player’s top 3 maps, and I think it’s no coincidence due to its vast population and number of species. Vurhonga Savanna has always been one of my favorites, and was the first DLC I ever purchased. I know this to be the same for many others as well. What could be done with this information? Combine the vast population and number of species with popular difficult to hunt animals in real life? Bingo. Welcome to Botswana, located in Southern Africa, where safari hunters across the globe target the hunt of their dreams with one of the Big 5 known animals in Africa. The first ever hunting game I ever played was that of Cabela’s African Safari on PlayStation 2, and I’d love nothing less than to see this come to life tenfold in COTW.

You can’t hunt Rhinoceros in Botswana at all, only South Africa and Namibia.

you mean Namibia

okay, well the name can be adjusted. Main focus was a reserve containing these species

A lot of these don’t even live in Botswana/ are hunted in Botswana take the Thompson Gazelle for example.

There is a ethical problem with the endangered species because that could cause controversy and would over all promote poaching

I like this idea. Most of those animals can be found in Botswana. I've seen them 👀. Not seen Cape Buffalo and a couple of the bucks, so don't know about those. Not sure about the hunting rules but Okavango, salt pans and Chobe inspired biomes would be stunning.
