Only in Namibia:
6 African hunting safari experiences
Ideas for your next vacation with a hunting opportunity
6 hunting experiences you can only find in Namibia (Africa)
In Namibia you can hunt without a hunting license!
1. Hunting & safari - experience a round trip through Namibia with a hunting possibility
Adventure of a lifetime: combine your hunting trip with a round trip
If you want to get the best possible experience of vacation and hunting, you should choose at least 5 hunting days on a hunting farm plus at least 10 travel days for the classic sights of the country. In Namibia the sights are not always in close proximity. To avoid sitting at the wheel all day and rather enjoy the beautiful country, we recommend at least 15 days that can be spent in Namibia with vacation and hunting. During this time Namibia’s classic highlights such as Sossusvlei, the coastal town of Swakopmund or Etosha National Park can be visited for a safari – as a self-drive, private or even guided tour in a small group.

2. Hunting & horseback safari
Unique game viewing on a horseback safari
On some farms it is possible to combine a horseback safari with the hunting experience. Of course, there is no shooting from the horse, but it is still a special way to experience nature: The advantages are that you can ride the horses much closer to the wildlife, they feel undisturbed and rarely notice you. This makes the experience of wildlife watching as a silent, unnoticed observer unique.

Get an insight into the life of a farm in Namibia
It is also impressive and formative to be integrated into the daily life of the farm – it is part of the hunting experience. The families and staff often live as self-supporters, secluded in nature. Cattle work, checking dams and water points, repairing fences, measuring rainfall, dismantling wind engines, castrating horses, checking game stocks or processing meat into sausage, broth, minced meat, ham and many more activities – all this is just a small excerpt from the exciting activities that you or your companions can gain an insight into.

Vacation with hunting opportunity
A stay on a hunting farm does not exclude the classic “making a vacation”, because on a farm there is always something going on and there are many relaxation and activity possibilities, such as horseback riding, going swimming, going hiking, relaxing, quad biking, shooting training, stargazing or going on a photo safari. You can benefit from these hunting experiences, but so can your family or non-hunting companions.
Camping evenings under the open sky or starry nights around the campfire can also be a special adventure for the whole family, which you will surely remember for a long time.

5. Experience a hunting & fishing trip
Inshore & Offshore fishing trips at Namibias Atlantic Ocean Coast or freshwater fishing at Namibias beautiful river-systems
Your hunting safari can be perfectly combined with a fishing trip, because the fishing paradises in Namibia are diverse and beautiful, e.g.:
- the coast of Namibia (e.g. Swakopmund, Henties Bay, Torra Bay, Terrace Bay,…)
- the Caprivi (e.g. the Kavango, Zambezi, Kwando rivers) for the legendary tiger fish in northern Namibia
- Orange River in the south of Namibia at the border to South Africa
Fishing & hunting luck – for this Namibia’s wild Atlantic coast is suitable for deep sea fishing or inshore fishing and also Namibia’s many beautiful freshwater rivers. It is predominantly “Catch & Release” practiced in Namibia, so as not to strain the fish stocks.
Spiny lobster diving along the coast of Namibia is also a lot of fun. Especially many locals use their time in Swakopmund to “catch lobsters”, which are then freshly prepared and grilled on the beach during a typical “braai”.
Scenically unique is without doubt each region, whether on the coast, in the north or in the south – the often remote areas offer inner peace, tranquility and a place to unwind in nature.
