Game hunting safaris in Namibia are some of the most enjoyable for hunters choosing the African continent. Besides the large variety of plains game, Namibia boasts ranches and concessions offering luxurious facilities and accommodation. Compared to hunting in countries such as Mozambique, Zambia and Tanzania, these safaris are very well priced and affordable.
Namibia is a politically stable country where international hunters are always welcomed, being one of the safest countries in Africa. Namibia is easily accessible via flights from Europe to Windhoek (Hosea Kutako International Airport), or as many hunters prefer, traveling through South Africa to Windhoek from Oliver Tambo International Airport.
Importing a rifle in Namibia is a simple process, with permits being issued on arrival at Hosea Kutako, at no cost. Hunters will just need a copy of the firearm license, for USA citizens a customs declaration form 4457 and a copy of a letter of invitation from the outfitter. Namibia’s plains game safaris extend from the Kalahari Desert in the South, the Caprivi Strip (Zambezi Region) and rugged mountains on the western borders of the Namibia.
Namibia is four times larger than the United Kingdom and bigger than the state of Texas in the United States. Namibia’s population of 2.2 million people makes the country one of the least inhabited in Africa.
This trophy plains game hunt will commence with the hunting party arriving at Hosea Kutako International Airport (WDH) in Windhoek. Due to length of the road transfer to the hunting concession (+- 4 to 5 hours), you may need to overnight in Windhoek depending on the arrival time of your inbound flight. The Hilton Hotel is recommended and has secure facilities for rifle storage, plus a great rooftop bar and pool (plus the breakfasts are great). The Hilton will also arrange your collection/transfers from Hosea Kutako and drop off again for your departing flight . There are many fabulous hotels in Windhoek, so you will be spoiled for choice.
Windhoek offers many popular venues for dining and sampling a few of the local beers and steaks, such as “The Butchers Block”, or ” Joe’s Beer house”. Having hunted in Namibia on numerous occasions and having visited these establishments (more than once), they are highly recommended.
Windhoek is easy to navigate and local travel is not costly. You can download the Yango App and make use of Windhoek’s version of Uber”. Near the hotels are a variety of retail shopping facilities for any last minute purchases including outlets selling hunting gear.
The tented camps provide more than just a luxurious place to stay. These deluxe safari tents come equipped with all the modern amenities you could wish for, such as Wi-Fi, private showers, mini-fridges, laundry services, safes, mobile network coverage, electricity, solar power, and even an outdoor swimming pool.

Beyond hunting, your host can organize custom tours and safaris to some of Namibia’s most stunning locations, including Etosha Pan, Swakopmund, the Kavango River, the Namib Desert, Kaokoveld, and Sossusvlei.

Hunters must navigate the rocky hills and valleys of Namibia’s bush-veld, which requires patience and stealth. The reward is a striking and remarkable trophy.
Red Hartebeest are known for their strength and agility, making them a formidable and tough target. These animals are often found in open grasslands, which means hunters need to be proficient in long-range shooting.
Impala are one of the most graceful and challenging species to hunt in North-Central Namibia and a must in every trophy room. These antelope are fast and agile, often found in dense bush or open woodlands. Kalahari Springbuck are known for their incredible speed and agility and found in the wide-open plains of Namibia.
