Plains Game Hunting in Namibia

Plains game hunting safaris in Namibia are some of the most enjoyable for international hunters choosing the African continent. Besides a variety of plains game, Namibia boasts ranches and concessions offering luxurious facilities and accommodation. Compared to countries such as Mozambique, Zambia and Tanzania, these hunting safaris are very well priced.  

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 offers a wide variety of habitat for plains game hunting, 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.

Transfers to and from Windhoek will be by road, taking approximately two hours. Namibia has the safest and best maintained roads in all of Africa. The hunting lodge, situated in the Khomas region is located approximately 100 miles south of the capital city. 

Should international hunters be entering Windhoek from South Africa, depending on flight times, it may be a requirement to spend a night in Johannesburg, South Africa. Airlink is recommended for the flight from Oliver Tambo International Airport to Windhoek, which cost on average (+- US$ 400 return). Airlink flights are on time, clean, plus as a bonus they serve “adult beverages”.  Airlink also have facilities in place for rifles transfers.

We would recommend African Sky Boutique Hotel situated near OR Tambo Airport if you have to overnight in Johannesburg.  Management can arrange transfers to and from African Sky/OR Tambo and also assist with any firearm permits. For further information, see our “Affiliated Services“ link below. Hunters need to bear in mind that if traveling with firearms through South Africa, a SAPS 520 form needs to be completed.
