| General Information |
to help you prepare for your hunt
- VISA REQUIREMENTS/INOCULATIONS
No Visa is required for entry into Namibia. You will need
only your passport. No inoculations are required. We
advice clients to make sure that their tetanus shots
are up to date. Although our hunting concessions are
not in malaria prone areas, it is good to take precautions
against malaria. We carry first aid equipment, so you
do not need to bring any. It will be wise to bring some
basic medicine for headaches, colds, flue and stomach
ailments. Obviously, should you require special medication,
bring that with you. Make sure you have a high factor
sun screen lotion with you.
- RIFLE IMPORTS
Namibia is one of the most hunter friendly countries in
Africa. You are allowed to bring as many rifles as you
wish, with an allowance of a maximum of 80 rounds of
ammo per rifle. A rifle in 300 magnum range (300 WinMag,
338, etc) will be suitable for any African game up to
Eland. You will be required to fill out a Rifle Import/Export
Application, which must be handed to the police at the
airport. At the bottom of this application form there
is a table to be filled out. Some of the questions is
a little confusing, this is what they require:
| Type |

Select a multi-purpose, expanding bullet. Bullets like
Barnes X, Swift A Frame and Trophy bonded are excellent
for most African animals.
- CLOTHING REQUIREMENTS
Most important is a pair of well broken in, ankle
length boots. Bring a broad rim hat to protect
your neck and ears against the sun. Bring something
warm for the evenings and early mornings, especially
during our winter (June, July and
August).
It gets cold at night! To protect our clients we suggest
that they hunt in long pants and long
sleeved shirts. Most of our bushes have thorns!
Make sure you pack no bright colors - Cammoflage, khaki
and/or faded blue, green, etc will be the best. Above
all, travel
light! We have daily laundry services in all
our camps, which means yesterdays
clothes will be available tomorrow.
- CAMERAS, ETC
Power supply is 220 volt. If you will require recharging,
make sure you bring an inverter. Bring lots of film and
make sure your camera bag is dust proof. Bring plenty
of spare batteries.
- SPECIE AVAILABILITY
Not all species are available in all camps. Best is to let
us have your wish list and leave
the camp decision to us.
- COSTS
When you calculate costs according to our price list, you
can rest assured that there will be NO
hidden costs. What you see is what you will pay.
- FIRE-ARM REQUIREMENT
• A minimum caliber in the range of 300WinMag is
required.
• Calibers smaller than this minimum can
be used on certain species, but will not be allowed on
larger species such as Kudu, Eland, etc.
• Clients
are responsible for the supply of their own ammunition.
• It
is recommended that a soft rifle bag, in addition to the
rifle case, be brought along for transport between hunting.
