The "Hunting in Namibia" All-Inclusive Package
At Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris, we place great emphasis on the well-being of hunters and excellent organization. From airport pickup to the entire hunting duration and the end of your stay in Namibia, everything is taken care of.
For hunters who don't want to go out in the field every day, Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris also offers smaller excursions to Namibia's tourist attractions. Visits to the capital Windhoek or trips to Etosha National Park, Sossusvlei, or the coastal town of Swakopmund are popular options.
Our specialty is seamless organization, ensuring that your hunting experience is as enjoyable as possible. With good spirits and extensive knowledge of Namibia’s bush wildlife, we will accompany you on your hunting safari and help fulfill your dream of hunting in Africa. All that's required is a strong passion for hunting.
Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris currently offers hunting in three areas in Namibia:
- In the Khomas Highlands on our own 8,500 hectares, as well as on surrounding farms in the 173,000-hectare Khomas Highland Conservancy
- On the Okambara Elephant Lodge in the Kalahari (15,000 hectares)
- On Farm Mount Valley on the edge of the Namib Desert (21,000 hectares)
We are happy to accommodate special requests. If you're looking to hunt animals not found in the Khomas Highlands, Mount Valley, or the Kalahari, we can arrange hunting on other farms by special request. Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris is happy to organize extended hunting trips. Feel free to contact us to plan your very own personal hunting safari.
Regardless of being a experienced hunter or a beginner, we will make your trophy hunt in Namibia an unforgettable experience.
Further information about hunting
Accompanying persons
It goes without saying that Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris also offers a variety of programs for guests accompanying the hunter. Thus it is our pleasure to offer separate game drives, horse riding or guided hikes. A shopping trip to Windhoek can also be organised.
Firearms
You are welcome to bring your own hunting weapon to Namibia. The import of such firearms and ammunition will be registered at the Windhoek airport and poses no problem. The import of handguns is strictly prohibited. If you prefer to hunt with your own riffle we recommend a calibre no less than 30.06 (or comparable) and we expect the use of high quality ammunition with stable bullets for example: Barnes-X, Norma, RWS or similar.
Should you want to avoid the registration efforts at the airport you are welcome to use the firearms available on the farm. This will decrease your luggage tremendously and will make space for some souvenirs.
We rent out the following riffles, calibre: 375 H&H, 300 Win, 30.06 Springfield, 243 Win, 12/70.
Hunting gear: clothing, shoes and other accessories
The ideal hunting clothes should be of unobtrusive and muted colour, which match the natural Namibian environment, i.e. yellow or green khaki or camouflage. For Namibia’s hot summer months we recommend light but sturdy clothes including a hat and a pullover for the cooler evenings. As it can get cold during winter we also recommend some warm clothes and a well fitted, not too large, parka or anorak. If joining an early morning hunt in June/July a beany can definitely do no harm.
Our hunting focus lies on ethic hunts on foot in the open and rocky field. Thus sturdy (and worn in) footwear like boots or half boots are highly recommended. For the time of relaxation after the hunt you should bring along some sandals or light footwear.
Furthermore you should bring along some sunscreen lotion. Even though you can purchase it in Namibia, it is rather expensive. Insect repellent (Tabard, Peaceful Sleep) can be bought in every super market in Windhoek. You are welcome to bring your own from home though. Please do not forget to bring a torch.

Guns available for rental
Many of our guests find that renting guns from the lodge they are visiting to be an easier solution than applying for consular permits and traveling with their own shotguns. It's easy to rent a gun from the lodge. We have a good selection of guns that are appropriate for the destination at each lodge. Just browse the gun rack until you find a gun that you like. Then, the lodge manager or your guide will note the specific number of the rental gun. That gun will be yours for the duration of your stay.
However you are welcome to change guns along the way and try something different if you wish. You are only charged for one rental so you can switch guns if you wish. We want you to shoot a gun you are comfortable and effective with! You will settle up for the rental at the end of your stay, when you are charged for shells and other expenses.
