Hunting is done in the central and northwestern part of Namibia, 1h30 north of the capital city Windhoek. Omatako, the main hunting area, is part of the Ombotozu conservancy, with more than 800 000 acres. Most of the hunting is done on Omatako, which has 22 huntable game species available. If needs be, depending on the circumstances, one can also hunt in the conservancy with permission of the owner. 

On Sandputz 1h30 north west of Omatako we have a tented camp, from where we like to hunt Kudu. Other species available on Sandputz are Oryx, dik dik, Springbok, warthog, leopard, Caracal, steenbok and duiker.

The advantage of hunting with Omatako is that one saves a lot of time traveling between hunting areas and of course you’re not restricted to hunting quotas.

On the hunt you will be guided by a team of Ph’s, which includes myself, Johan jnr and Obet. If more Ph’s are required we make use of a freelance PH who is familiar with the area to be hunted.

Our hunting season officially starts on the 1st of February till the end of November.  For rifle hunting, the best hunting time is from the beginning of May till late September, and for bow hunters, the best time is from July to November. Because moonlight effects the movement of animals at night it is thought best for bow hunters to book at dark moon.

Omatako Hunting Trails is a malaria free area, so it’s up to you whether or not you would like to take extra medication. We recommend that you don’t take any precautions for malaria. No other inoculation is needed to enter Namibia.

Omatako is only 1hour 30 min by car from Windhoek where modern medical facilities are available. We are also a member of a medical scheme where all emergencies can be evacuated by helicopter or airplane.

Climate and clothing

Hunting season starts from the 1st of Feb to end of November.

Clothing requirements: Bring a pair of well broken in hunting shoes, with soft soles. Make sure you bring no bright colored hunting clothes. Camo, dark brown or green colors are recommended. We have sticky grass and seeds so don’t bring hunting clothes made of wool. The hunting season in Namibia can be divided as follows, but there are always exceptions due to weather anomalies. 

Feb - April   This is our rainy season with warm days and occasional showers more towards the evening. Temperatures will range from 77 - 90 F. If you hunt during these months, bring cool summer clothes with one warm jacket.

May - end August   This is winter in Namibia with cold dry mornings and evenings. It can be very cold especially on the back of a hunting truck. Temperatures range between 32 - 68 F. It warms up considerably towards mid day and no rain is to be expected. Bring long sleeve shirts, long pants, gloves and a warm jacket is also highly recommended.

September - November   This is the begging of summer and can be very hot with showers towards the end of November (90 F). The clothing will be the same as for Feb and April.
