  Why Choose Namibia For Your Hunt ?

Some of the largest and best managed game and trophy hunting ranches in Africa are to be found in Namibia, so before we proceed any further please be advised that should you be looking for any form of 'Canned Hunting' then you're at the wrong site and the wrong country.

The long years of the Illegal occupation of Namibia by South Africa along with the armed liberation struggle by the People's Liberation Army of Namibia (PLAN) made Namibia a no-go area for most overseas based hunters until the 'Last of the African Colonies'  finally gained its Independence on 21 March 1990. Virtually unknown to the outside world, a vast land of some 824.269 sq km in size having a population of less than 1,8 million people along with some of Southern Africa's pristine quality game animals was now made accessible to the international community.

The country's conservation policies are possibly the most comprehensive on the continent and the regulating laws are strictly enforced by an active and  diligent Department of Nature Conservation. In Namibia you WILL find:

• High standard of animal management and conservation throughout the Namibia Trophy Hunting Industry.

Trophy Hunting in Namibia  is an industry regulated by the Namibia Tourism Board Act, 2000 (Act No. 21 of 2000) which states, Definition, "Trophy-Hunting Operator"  means persons conducting business by providing services and facilities to tourists for hunting game for trophy purposes.

Namibia Trophy Hunting Operators could be categorized as follows:

• The dedicated Game / Hunting Ranch where the full time operation of the business is the breeding and stocking of the ranch with game animals for the purpose of resale and /or Trophy Hunting.
• Commercial Cattle farms where 'domestic livestock' grazes along with game animals. Nomadic game often moves onto these farms where it is later hunted.
• Licensed Professional Hunters who have an agreement or hold a concession to hunt selected species of game on another persons land or a concession area.
