Namibia Hunts
	Namibia Tented Camp Fly-in Hunting Safari - Plains Game & Big Five

All of the Big Five (Elephant, Lion, Rhino, Cape Buffalo, Leopard) can be found in Namibia along with Cheetah, Giraffe, Zebra and 20 species of Antelope as well as other game animals. Namibia is a large, mainly arid, sparsely populated country on Africa's south-west coast, which has enjoyed stability since achieving Independence in 1990.

In Namibia there are four levels of license for hunting professionals:

• Hunting Guides - who may only hunt on their own farm, which must be registered as a hunting farm.
  
  
• Master Hunting Guides - who may only hunt on their own farm, which must be registered as a hunting farm, plus two additional registered hunting farms.
  
  
• Professional Hunters - who may conduct hunts on all farms, provided they have written permission from the owner of the property, registered hunting farm or not, as well as government owned hunting areas.
  
  
• Professional Hunters with Big Game License -Required to conduct hunts with clients for elephant, rhino, cape buffalo and lion.
  
  

All of our hunting professionals are Professional Hunters or Professional Hunters with Big Game Licenses. This is important to you because each level of licensing requires a greater degree of exhibited skill, additional years of experience, higher number of successful hunts, and rigorous testing. Which means a better hunting experience for you.

English is the official language of Namibia. Christianity is the predominant (90%) religion.

Clothing

Light, cotton clothing in olive green or sand colors is recommended for hunting. Well-fitting boots, warm pyjamas and sweater/parkas for cool nights and mornings.

Camouflaged clothing is permitted only in the hunting field in Namibia. We suggest you just leave it at home.

Vaccinations

There are no mandatory vaccinations for persons traveling from North America or Europe. However you should take the usual precautions. Ask your doctor if you should renew your vaccinations against diphtheria, polio, and tetanus. You might also ask if you need to take precautions against Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B. There is no vaccination for malaria, but there are malaria prophylaxis available.

Malaria

For the hunter Malaria is not generally a concern as almost the entire hunting season is when Malaria is not transmitted, which is usually from January to April. We usually hunt from mid-April thru September.

Malaria remains one of the most feared illnesses world-wide. In Namibia this applies primarily to the local population in the northern parts of the country, as protection becomes too expensive for them over the long term. You, however, can protect yourself most adequately. Please note that the following information is not intended to replace an individual consultation with a doctor or pharmacist!

Malaria is transmitted via the bite of a mosquito. This means that if there are no mosquitoes in the area, then there is no malaria either. And of course just because there are mosquitoes doesn't mean there malaria. If you are concerned a good precaution is to use a good mosquito repellant. Since Namibia does not have much stagnant water the risk of contracting malaria is minimal in most parts of the country, and limited to a specific time of the year - January thru April.

Snakes

Most hunters never see a snake during their stay in Namibia.

The probability of encountering a poisonous snake is very small since all, except the puffadder, quickly disappear as soon as they sense the slightest movement.

So when walking in the bush you should always wear sturdy shoes, preferably covering the ankle. If you are concerned and want more protection purchase a pair of snake proof boots from someplace like Cabela's before leaving for your Namibia hunting safari. And watch your step and listen to sounds — snakes usually warn you before they attack.

If in a tented camp, zip your tent completely and shake out your shoes before putting them on.

Hunting in Namibia generally takes place in either the Acacia dotted savannas, or the Mopane covered scrub lands - both beautiful in their own right. With an abundance of game in Namibia your hunting safari will be a trip you will cherish the rest of your life.

Namibia shares borders with Angola to the north, Botswana to the east, South Africa to the south and, in the Caprivi Strip, a narrow panhandle of Namibian territory jutting from the northeast corner of the country, with Zambia and Zimbabwe.
