Our First-Hand Experience

As we exited the arrivals hall in Windhoek, we were greeted by the big melt your heart smile of our gracious host, Marina Lamprecht. Immediately, we felt like we were part of the family and soon to be lifelong friends… and that included the very loved lap dogs.

One evening at sunset as we sat around the fire pit enjoying sundowners (drinks) and appetizers,Jack, the Jack Russell alerted us to an intruder. A few minutes later a young male Kudu bounded down the rock steps to join us at the fire pit and pool cabana. Quickly our phones were set to video mode and cameras were up and on. For about an hour, we enjoyed watching this magnificent creature nibble on table clothes, stick his nose to close to the fire and peak in the glass doors of the great room. 

Oh yes, and Kevin did shoot 4 animals in two days with his bow!

A lifetime memory that will join many more that we have experienced on this amazing safari land, lodge and warm friendly staff.

Accommodations & Meals

The lodge is run in the classic, elegant style of traditional safari camps.  The luxurious lodge is a spacious building of natural stone with thatched roofs, designed by the owner to blend in with the surrounding rocky kopjes and vast savannahs.

The lodge offers 5 guest suites with en-suite bathrooms with basins, flushing toilets and large showers with high pressured hot and cold running water. The extra length beds are solid wood with thick, firm mattresses, down duvets and pillows. Bedside tables, reading lamps, a luggage rack, rifle cabinet, large wardrobe, comfortable chairs, a desk, ceiling fan, balcony furniture complete the elegant, distinctly safari style rooms. Two of the loft suites at the lodge feature stone fire places, and one of the suites offers in inter-leading children’s room.

Enjoy sun decks with hammocks and deck chairs, the swimming pool and summerhouse were specially designed to make the safari more enjoyable for non-hunters and children. Water holes have been strategically placed near both lodges to allow game viewing and photography from your suite and sun decks.

The hunting day usually starts just before sunrise with a choice of beverages served in your suite by a friendly camp attendant, followed by a hearty breakfast.

Dining:

They offer world-class local cuisine inspired by the owner, and expertly prepared by our Gourmet Chefs and the small, dedicated kitchen teams. Venison from the hunt is always served accompanied by a wide variety of organically grown salads, fruit, vegetables and herbs from the gardens. Fresh baked bread, biscuits and treats are baked daily in the old fashioned wood-burning oven.  Non-venison as well as vegetarian meals are prepared, with pleasure, on request.

Guests return to camp during the heat of midday for a buffet-style lunch, which is served in the thatched summerhouse area at the swimming pool.  A short siesta is followed by coffee at 15h00 before returning to the wild open veld.

Sundowners are served in the evening around the open fire pit. This is historically the time of day when the best memories of wilderness experiences, as well as hunting and fishing tales, are exchanged in the romantic flow of the Acacia wood flames.  A traditional drumbeat announces dinner, which is always a candle-lit three-course gourmet feast.

Top quality South African Wines, international brands of whiskey, gin, vodka and world-class Namibian beer as well as a variety of soft drinks and pure fruit juices are available in camp. Clients are encouraged to notify the team of any specific wishes, which will gladly be catered for.

Hunting

Trophy quality is consistently outstanding due to the decision to go for exclusivity rather than to commercialize. Records show that 92% of trophies taken over the past 27 years qualify for the top half of the SCI Record Book. On average, hunting clients take one trophy per day, but no limit is placed on the number of species that you may take during a specific safari period.  Mature post reproductive trophies are sought after on your hunt.

The property covers an area of approx. 80 square miles and is populated by an abundance of game. The terrain consists of small rocky hills with huge savannas and patches of bushy areas. The entire hunting area is natural, with open water holes and very few man-made improvements and is still the real Africa. Additional concession areas are available when required, most bordering on their own property. This increases the hunting area to an unlimited movement area in excess of 40,000 hectare (over 150 square miles).

All hunts are spot and stalk in the classic safari hunting style.  If you are looking for a classic hunting safari, this is it.  Their reputation is the finest in Namibia.

One of their qualified and experienced Namibian Professional Hunters will accompany you on your hunt at all times, and may do so with a maximum of two hunting clients per P.H. at a time. No more than 30 hunting clients are accepted per season.

While hunting, classic, open Toyota Land Cruiser vehicles are used, but all stalking is done on foot – they focus absolutely on fair chase, ethical hunting. All vehicles are in excellent running condition and completely equipped with First Aid kits, tools, two way radios, refreshments and electric winches.  The professional team of skinners does outstanding field preparation of the trophies in order to prepare them for delivery to a local freight agent or taxidermist.  All the meat from the hunt is utiliised.

Your group may visit the local school of 330 children.  Your hunting meat is the sole source of protein for the school.

Bow Hunting:

Should you wish to bow hunt,  you will have your own specialized bow hunting PH. This is an exceptional opportunity.  All hunts are spot and stalk only.  This is a target rich environment!  Your days will be filled with adventure on this gorgeous 50,000 acre property.  You will not spend your trip sitting at a watering hole.  You will experience all that Africa has to offer on the ground.

On our recent bow hunting trip to this lodge, we were able to take four trophy animals in three days of spot and stalk hunting.  We had an opportunity at another six trophies during those same hunting days but chose not to take the shots because we already had exceptional trophies in our trophy room.  So in a four day hunt, one hunter had ten opportunities within 50 yards to harvest trophies.  A number were within 30-40 yards as well.

A spot and stalk hunt in Africa is authentic and exciting!  There are few properties in Africa where this is a realistic possibility…this is one of them.  We recommend this type of bow hunt to experienced bow hunters that have enjoyed success with spot and stalk bow hunts at other venues.

Changing Generations

This outfitter is the sole source of protein for extremely impoverished school nearby with about 260+ children!  The protein from your hunt provides the meat for the children.  The school is extremely well run and provides an excellent education for the children under the careful eye of an experienced educator and her staff.

Should you wish to visit the school, the principal is happy to accommodate visitors as long as the visit does not interrupt the school day.  Supplies are always in need at the school.  For ease and travel simplicity, the safari owner recommends that supplies be purchased in the Windhoek on arrival and then delivered by guests directly to the school.  Many guests list this as a highlight of their safari.

If you would like to interact with the children in an even deeper way, the school welcomes any activities that you would like to initiate.

If you would like to make a difference while on your hunting vacation, this outfitter is grateful for any help that you would like to offer to the school but there is absolutely no pressure to do so.

In 2018, the conservationist hunting community is joining together to further provide nurture, housing and sustenance for these vulnerable children in this community. Boarding homes have been built!  Hunter’s Home has been a dream of the Hunters Namibia Safaris team and that dream has come to fruition with excellent clean facilities.  The facility is built and now only needs the support of the hunting community to provide the funding for children to fill these homes.  If you would like to join in in caring for these vulnerable children that at this time live in child led homes in lean to tin huts, please donate at the following link:
