Hunting in Namibia
With each year that passes Namibia becomes a more and more popular hunting destination. Hunting districts are often enormous, the hunting is challenging and fair, trophy quality is top class and many sought after species are present in large numbers in Namibia, which helps to keep trophy fees relatively low. This enormous country is around 20 times the size of Denmark, but the population is only around two million. Here, in other words, is plenty of space for wildlife, and hunting is a natural part of everyday life in Namibia.
We work with a wide, well rounded range of hunt organisers here, who can offer hunting adventures for every taste and pocket. All of them arrange great hunting, and while some offer good accommodation and food, if you stay with one of the more luxurious outfitters what they provide is sublime. Whether you are an experienced African hunter or just starting out on the path of rifle hunting is not important - Namibia is a great choice for all antelope hunters who demand good quality! Additionally most of our destinations here are also ideal for non-hunting guests if you wish to combine hunting and a family holiday.
