How It Works
From enquiry to the field
Tell us what you want
Send an enquiry with your interests: hunting, safari, fishing, or a mix, and roughly when you'd like to travel.
We plan it together
We work out species, farms, permits, and logistics with you directly, so the trip fits what you actually want.
You travel to Namibia
We coordinate arrival, transfers, and accommodation so the trip starts smoothly from the moment you land.
You're in the field
Guided hunting, safari, or fishing across our farms, with everything arranged so you can focus on the trip itself.
Self-Drive Option
Bring your own wheels
For guests who want to explore Namibia at their own pace before or after a hunt, we work with African Sun Car Hire, a Namibian 4x4 outfitter running fully equipped self-drive vehicles for well over a decade. Their fleet is built for exactly this country: rooftop tents, a roller drawer storage system, dual fuel tanks, fridges, and everything else needed to camp and travel independently between farms.
More details on vehicle options and booking to follow.
When to Go
Namibia's hunting season
The official season runs 1 February to 30 November. May through October is the preferred window: cooler, drier weather concentrates game around waterholes and makes for easier tracking. Bow hunters tend to favor July through September specifically, when animals visit waterholes most predictably.
Hover or tap a month for typical temperatures and rain chance.
Accommodation
Stay with us
Comfortable lodging at our farms and on tour, with meals included for the length of your trip. What's available depends on the trip: farm lodges and tented camps while hunting or on safari, and guesthouses in town on fishing and touring trips.
Farm Lodges
Comfortable lodging on the farms during hunting and safari trips.
Tented Camps
Under-canvas camping in more remote areas.
Town Guesthouses
Guesthouse stays while touring or on fishing trips.
Partner Lodges
Lodges we book our hunters into at a special rate, beyond our own farms and camps.
River Crossing Lodge
Set on a 6,500-hectare private reserve on a koppie just outside Windhoek, overlooking Moltkeblick Mountain and the city lights beyond. Home to its own game, including oryx, kudu, giraffe and wildebeest. A five-minute drive from town and on the way to the airport, making it a natural stop at the start or end of a trip.
Good to Know
Questions worth asking
Yes. Hunting permits in Namibia are issued by the Ministry of Environment and Tourism and must be arranged through a registered professional hunter, which is part of what we handle for you.
Most hunters do, using a temporary firearm import permit arranged in advance. If you'd rather not travel with a rifle, we also have rifles available to rent. [Confirm before launch: whether we assist directly with the import paperwork, or point guests to a specific process.]
The season runs 1 February to 30 November, with May to October generally preferred for cooler weather and easier tracking. See the season guide above for month-by-month detail.
Trophies are prepared and shipped through a taxidermist and export process, with CITES permits required for certain species. We'll walk you through what applies to your hunt specifically.
Yes, that's exactly what our safaris, tours, and fishing trips are for. Many guests combine a hunt with time exploring Namibia for the rest of the group.
Neutral-colored, lightweight clothing, sturdy boots, and layers for cold mornings and warm afternoons. Namibia's temperature swing can be significant, so we'll send a fuller list once your trip is booked. Make sure your boots are already worn in before you arrive: the walking here is no joke, and new boots will punish you for it.
