About Hunting in Namibia

Trophy 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 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.

The Hunting Lodge in Namibia

Experience the warmth of true African hospitality at the hunting lodge, where modern luxury seamlessly blends with the timeless charm of traditional thatched roofs. Rooms are thoughtfully designed for your comfort, featuring a private bathroom, climate control, and daily laundry service. After a day of hunting, you can relax with a dip in the pool. Cuisine is exceptional, where hunters and companions can enjoy home-cooked meals or barbecue favorites, paired with some of South Africa’s (Imported) finest wines, local beers, and refreshing sodas.

*** The hunting lodge also features a micro-brewery where cold beers can be enjoyed following ” another tough day in Africa” Enjoy Jaco’s local brew, “Stofpad”, producing 12 000 Gallons of beer every year. For gents and ladies, there is also an onsite “Spa”.

Leopard Hunting Methods in Namibia

The hunting concession covers thousands of acres, meaning there are plenty of big cats available. In Namibia Tom cats get huge, over 170 pounds. Jaco and team, prior to your arrival, will start baiting selected areas to start the process of attracting a cat to a bait. Leopards have large territories, covering many miles so baits will be placed in many different areas.

A typical day on a Leopard hunt will be to leave the hunting lodge at first light after a light breakfast. You and the team will then head out, traversing the concession, checking and restocking baited area. Trails cams are used to check activity and to identify size, sex and age of the Leopard once on the bait. Once a suitable Leopard has been identified, a temporary blind will be constructed using local materials and it will then be “game on”. The game of patience will begin. Leopards also respond well to callers, such as the Fox Pro units. The challenge of course in this instance is getting the cat to within shooting distance. 

As Namibia does not allow dangerous game hunting with a bow, a Leopard on this safari cannot be hunted in with a bow/cross bow. A trophy Leopard no matter where you are hunting in Africa is classified as a fully mature male.
