We, the team at Game Hunting Safaris recently, by chance visited the Hunting Lodge and Janneman while on a ” Non-Exportable Elephant” hunt, you will not be disappointed. We have hunted Namibia on numerous occasions and the country really is exceptional.
This hunt in Namibia will commence with the hunting party touching down into Hosea Kutako International Airport (WDH) in Windhoek, Namibia. Due to the time allocated to the road transfer to reach the hunting concession (+- 4 to 5 hours), you will need to overnight in Windhoek. The Hilton Hotel is recommended, and has secure facilities for rifle storage. The Hilton will also arrange your collection/transfers from Hosea Kutako and drop off again for your departing flight (plus the breakfasts are great). But, there are many fabulous hotels in near vicinity to each other.
In Windhoek, there are 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”. We can recommend both.
Windhoek is also easy to navigate and travel is not expensive at all. You can download the Yango App, and make use of Windhoek;s version of Uber”. Near to the hotels, are a variety of retail shopping facilities for any last minute purchases (or to purchase a bottle of your favorite malt)
When you arrive, the hunting lodge is everything you’d hoped for—a blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. The staff will greet the hunting party with warm smiles, instantly making you feel at home and will be sure to have “adult beverages” available.
Your private chalet is the perfect place to unwind, with cozy beds, a private bathroom, hot showers, and air conditioning to keep you comfortable after a long day in the bush. Daily laundry service means you’ll always have fresh clothes, no matter how action-packed your days are.
Meals are a highlight of the camp experience. Hearty breakfasts fuel your morning hunts, satisfying lunches keep you going, and gourmet dinners round out each day with a well-deserved feast.
Evenings are spent unwinding around the campfire. Sitting under a sky bursting with stars, the fire crackling softly, you are bound to share the day’s stories—near-perfect shots, missed opportunities, and the thrill of the chase. These moments are as much a part of the adventure as the hunts themselves.
In these six days, you will create memories that last a lifetime—memories of breathtaking landscapes, incredible wildlife, and the camaraderie of sharing it all with friends. This is what hunting in Namibia is all about.
Embarking on a six-day plains game hunting adventure in Namibia is a dream come true for many a hunter. Together, you’ll choose three animals each from a stunning lineup: Kudu, Springbok, Gemsbok, Eland, Blue Wildebeest, and Zebra. Each species offers unique challenges, excitement, and a hunting experience that will stay with you forever.
The Kudu, known as the “Grey Ghost,” is elusive and cunning, making it one of the most challenging animals to hunt. Stalking a mature bull requires patience, sharp eyes, and precise shot placement. Its spiraling horns and majestic presence are the ultimate prize for any plains game hunting enthusiast.
The dense bush and rolling hills of Namibia are perfect for Kudu hunting. The excitement will peak when you spot a bull blending seamlessly into the landscape.
The Springbok, Namibia’s national animal, is a testament to speed and agility. These fleet-footed antelope roam the open plains, their sleek bodies glistening in the sun. Hunting Springbok demands both quick thinking.
Springbok tend to move in herds, so finding the right opportunity to single out a trophy ram can be tricky. Their sharp senses mean any mistake—be it a sound, scent, or sudden movement—sends them darting across the plains at lightning speed. Placing a clean, ethical shot is an adrenaline rush like no other.
Hunting Eland, the largest of the antelope species, is a pursuit of power and endurance. These massive animals can weigh over 2,000 pounds, yet they move with surprising grace. Tracking an Eland often means covering long distances through Namibia’s rugged savannas, following subtle signs of spoor.
Eland are known for their resilience, making shot placement critical. A poorly placed shot can result in hours of tracking. But when you finally bring one down, the sheer size and beauty of the animal leave you in awe. It’s a true test of skill and stamina, but the reward is unmatched in plains game hunting.
With its iconic black-and-white face mask and long, straight horns, the Gemsbok is one of Namibia’s most striking animals. Hunting Gemsbok is a combination of strategy and patience. These desert-adapted antelope are tough, fast, and incredibly alert.
Their preferred habitat—open plains with sparse vegetation—offers little cover for hunters. You will need to rely on careful stalking and precise shot placement to secure a trophy, these antelope are incredibly tough. The Gemsbok’s ability to endure harsh conditions makes it a symbol of resilience, and taking one down is a moment of pride for any hunter.
Dubbed the “clown of the plains” for their awkward gait, Blue Wildebeest are far from an easy hunt. Their sharp senses and unpredictable movements keep even seasoned hunters on their toes. Plains game hunting doesn’t get more exciting than tracking a herd of these formidable animals.
Blue Wildebeest are incredibly tough, with thick hides and a muscular build. This makes shot placement vital to ensure a clean and ethical kill. Their unpredictable nature often leads to high-energy chases, making each hunt a adventure.
Hunting a Zebra is about more than just a striped coat; it’s about strategy, precision, and appreciating the animal’s role in the wild. Zebras are highly social and alert, meaning any disturbance will send the entire group fleeing.
The beauty of a Zebra hide is unmatched, making it a unique addition to any plains game hunting experience. When you achieve a successful shot placement, the sense of accomplishment is profound.
Each animal in this lineup brings its own set of challenges and excitement, creating a hunting experience that’s as diverse as Namibia’s breathtaking landscapes. Whether it’s the agility of hunting Springbok, the endurance required for hunting Eland, or the strategic precision of plains game hunting, every moment is a story waiting to be told.
Namibia’s hunting season is from February to November, the summer months of December and January are just too hot. High temperatures can lead to dehydration and plains game hunting is just too unpleasant.
