Hunting in Namibia is regulated somewhat differently from Germany. For foreign trophy hunters the season runs from 1 February to 30 November. Hunting pauses in the two hot months of December and January.
August to October is the best time: visibility is much better because the trees have lost their leaves and the grass has largely been grazed.
Which calibre?
Calibres such as .300 Win Mag, 8×57, 8×68S, 9.3×62 and .375 H&H Mag have proven themselves. Average shooting distance is between 60 and 150 metres.
You do not need a hunting licence from your home country. Foreign hunters may only hunt with a Namibian state-licensed hunting guide or professional hunter, who also obtains the necessary permit from the Ministry of Environment and Tourism.
