Hunting
We believe in Nature & Wildlife conservation and accept the challenge for “the perfect shot”. We have a history of exceptional trophies which have been hunted on our farm. Experience makes the difference!

The trophy hunting season stretches from 1st February to 30th November.

Bow hunting
Bow energy is specified as follows:
Small Game -25 ft/lb

Trophy Shipments and Taxidermy:
Clients trophies are usually delivered to the taxidermy and shipping
agent after the completion of the hunt, and should take about 30
days for cleaning and drying out properly. Shipping will take up to
6 weeks to reach their destination. The cost of taxidermy work in
Namibia is affordable, the quality of the workmanship is excellent,
and the end product very realistic as they are totally familiar with
the features and expressions of our local game. There is very little
difference in the weight, and therefore the cost of shipping raw or
mounted trophies. Current completion of mounts is about 12 months.
We
will gladly obtain quotations for you from our personal local
taxidermist.
Rifle Import Requirements
Hunters entering Namibia with a rifle, must complete a temporary import permit application form for all rifle's and/or ammunition in their possession on arrival and the permit will be issued at the airport.
What to bring and wear:
Bring a pair of well broken in hunting shoes and 3 pairs of thick
woolen or cotton socks, with soft soles. Three pairs of Camo, dark
brown or green colors are recommended. We have sticky grass and
seeds so don't bring hunting clothes of wool. Pack a pair of
sneakers for camp use. Mornings and evenings are normally quite cool
to very cold so pack both a light and a heavy down jacket. A safari
hat and good quality sun glasses are essential.
Do not forget your video camera, and still camera's, as well as an
ample supply of film or large storage cards and batteries/chargers.
A good pair of 8x40 binoculars for the rifle hunter and a range
finder for the bow hunter.
