Program Information

The Republic of Kazakhstan is located in the heart of the Eurasian Continent. Kazakhstan, with almost 3,000,000 km2. is the ninth biggest country in the world. People of Kazakhstan are friendly, warm and inviting. This Democratic Republic is one of the safest countries of Central Asia, and you can find all the first rate services in Astana and Almaty, the new and ancient capitals of Kazakhstan.it  is the 9th bigger country in the world, and a paradise for  mountain hunters who are looking for -in addition of a big trophy- a lifetime adventure.

The most important population of wild marals in the world lives in Kazakhstan, from the Tian Shan to Altai ranges. Some trophies can weigh more than 16/17 kg. We run 3 different base camps  close the famous Dzungarian Alatau mountains… Marals live from 2000 to 2500 m. altitude; the hunting method is horseback and stalking hunting from base camps. Usually hunters spent 5 or 6 overnights in mountains with tents. Local guides call marals and try to spot big trophies during the mating time. We have 3 different base camps, all of them located in Dzungarian Alatau range, close to the China border, and near the National Park. The average weight of the last 3 years is 12,5 kg.

In addition, the same area have a big population of mid-Asian ibex and some outstanding trophies of more than 120 cm. Is it possible to combine both species from the same camp.

Due to the large experience of Pyrenean Outfitters in this amazing country, we are able to offer you the finest hunting in Kazakhstan. We have experienced local guides, modern lodges and wood cabins with saunas, and the best hunting places. An English-speaking professional hunter will be with you during the entire trip. He will welcome you at the airport and will take care of all documents, transportation, and logistics. He will assist and act as a middle-man between you and local guides to ensure the success of your hunting.

After harvesting your trophy, PO will offer you a sightseeing tour in Almaty, the possibility of visiting some hunting stores and having a meal at national cuisine restaurants.

We recommend you for this hunting 7 – 8 mm calibers with good optics and ballistic turret. Often, the shooting distance is more than 400 yards. Calibers like 300 WM, WSM and Weatherby are perfect for this hunting.
