No African hunting adventure is complete without warthog hunting! These hogs are fast, always on the move, and provide a great African plains game safari for hunting enthusiasts! Warthogs (Phacochoerus) are targeted throughout Southern Africa and are available when hunting in Namibia. While warthog hunting is available throughout the country, prime locations for hunting warthogs include the Erongo region, Okahandja, Khomas area in central Namibia, and the Zambezi region, formerly known as the Caprivi Strip. These fast hogs make for a fast-paced and enthralling hunting adventure, that is fun and exhilarating! Warthogs are extremely quick and hardly ever stay in one place for a prolonged period. Hunting methods used on warthog hunting safaris include the walk-and-stalk method, as well as hunting them from a temporary blind that has been erected near a water hole. Warthogs are a water-dependent species, and they are then targeted as they appear to quench their thirst. While warthogs are usually more active during the day, they do forage and can be active at night if the circumstances require it. They are adaptable animals, and this is also seen in terms of their habitat. While they prefer open bush, grasslands, and woodlands, they can adapt to other habitats, if there is sufficient water in the area. In terms of warthog hunting, bigger is better! Target the largest warthog you encounter, which will more than likely be a male. At 340 pounds, they are twice the size of their female counterparts. Apart from sheer size, it is relatively simple to tell the sexes apart, as males have two warts on each side of their heads, while females have only one set of warts on each side. Males' tusks are also thicker and larger, reaching 10-35 inches compared to the females’ tusks which grow around 6-10 inches long. Warthogs are light brown, with very little hair cover on their bodies. They do have manes that run down their spine to midway down their back, and their tails stand upright like aerials as they run.

More About namibia warthog Hunting

Shot Placement when Warthog Hunting

When warthog hunting, target the animal from the broadside, and aim directly above the front leg, a third of the way up its body. This will target their vital organs and ensure a quick and humane death for the animal.

What Caliber Rifle is used when Warthog Hunting?

Firstly, using a bow on warthog hunting adventures is legal in Namibia, but it must be stressed that it is more challenging. While various calibers can be used to target this hardy African plains game species, popular options include anything from a .243 to the 30.06, with another favorite being a .308. Ensure that you use premium quality ammunition when warthog hunting. Another consideration for the hunter is a .375, shooting 300-grain solids. No matter which option the hunter decides to use when warthog hunting in Namibia, remember that correct shot placement seals the deal.
