What to Bring

Rifles
This is plains game hunting and the ranges can be substantial (200 to 300 yards is not uncommon), so firearms should be chosen accordingly. Animals range in size up to eland that can exceed 1500 lbs, so an appropriate level of power should be considered.

Shotguns
Many of our guests enjoy shooting sand grouse.

Bow and arrows
If that is your hunting preference.

Ammunition
Forty to sixty rounds should be sufficient for most hunts. Zeros on rifles should be checked before and during the hunt to assure accurate shooting.

Binoculars
The distances involved in spotting game are substantial. A 7x binocular should be considered minimal, and a 10x would be ideal.

Clothing
Should be drab, fairly dark colors to blend with the brush. Camouflage clothing is illegal in the towns of Namibia and on the airport but can be worn when hunting. Warmth requirements should be in accordance with the typical temperature projected during your stay.

Boots
Well-worn boots with fairly stiff soles to avoid puncture by thorns

Hats
Should shield both the face and the neck. Even in winter the sun is intense and the risk of sunburn and windburn is significant

Camera and film
Bring lots of film. Film is available for purchase but is not conveniently available. Animal photography may require powerful telephoto lenses due to the distances involved

Sun block
A necessity
