The Trophy Package

This safari combines five of Namibia's classic plains game species, giving hunters a varied selection of hunting opportunities across the 30,000-acre free-range hunting area. The package per hunter includes Hartmann's mountain zebra, Kalahari springbok, black-backed jackal and impala, with a choice between red hartebeest or gemsbok.

The species provide very different hunting challenges. Hartmann's mountain zebra can take hunters into rocky and broken country, while gemsbok and red hartebeest require careful use of terrain and cover. Springbok and impala are alert, fast-moving animals where patience, observation and precise shooting are essential. The black-backed jackal adds a different challenge altogether, requiring keen glassing and the ability to take advantage of the right opportunity. Together, these species provide a well-rounded African plains game safari, with each animal requiring its own approach and good fieldcraft.

For hunters particularly interested in gemsbok hunting in Namibia, this safari provides the opportunity to pursue one of the country's most iconic antelope in its natural environment. A mature gemsbok is a demanding trophy, requiring patience, good glassing and careful shot placement. Red hartebeest offers another excellent plains game option, with its distinctive appearance and alert nature making it a rewarding animal to hunt.

Shot Placement on African Game

Proper shot placement is one of the most important elements of any African hunt.

African game can be remarkably resilient, and a poorly placed shot can result in a wounded animal travelling a considerable distance before it can be recovered. Hunters should therefore understand the anatomy of the species being hunted, be familiar with their rifle and ammunition, and wait for a clear, ethical shot. Your Professional Hunter will assist with shot selection and positioning in the field, but hunters should arrive prepared to shoot accurately from practical hunting positions and at realistic hunting distances.

Practising from shooting sticks before the safari is strongly recommended. Understanding bullet trajectory and knowing where to place the shot on different species and angles will help ensure a clean and ethical kill. For a more detailed explanation, see our shot placement for African game.

Rifles and Ammunition

Hunters may bring their own rifle to Namibia or make use of the rifle rental option. Rifle rental is available at US$30 per hunting day, with ammunition charged at cost.

Hunters bringing their own firearms should ensure that all required firearm documentation and permits are arranged before traveling. Jaco and his team will provide the necessary invitation and assist with the local firearm process. Hunters should arrive with a rifle and ammunition combination with which they are thoroughly familiar and should practise shooting from the positions they are likely to encounter during the safari.

Best Time to Hunt Namibia

Namibia offers excellent plains game hunting conditions during the cooler, drier months of the year. The main hunting season generally runs from May through September, when temperatures are more comfortable and vegetation is less dense, making it easier to glass and track game.

Conditions vary between hunting areas, however, and your Professional Hunter will determine the best approach according to the weather, terrain and behaviour of the game.

Preparing for Your Hunt

A reasonable level of physical fitness will make the safari more enjoyable, particularly when hunting involves walking over uneven or rocky terrain.

Before traveling:

• Practise shooting from sticks.
• Know your rifle and ammunition.
• Confirm your bullet trajectory at practical hunting distances.
• Use quality optics and binoculars.
• Wear comfortable, broken-in hunting boots.
• Pack for variable temperatures.
• Do not over-pack; daily laundry is available.

Most importantly, arrive prepared to hunt. Patience, observation, careful stalking and sound shot placement are all important parts of a successful African plains game safari.
