Authentic Namibia Hunting Safaris with Zana Botes Safari
Experience an unforgettable hunting safari in Namibia with Zana Botes Safari, a family-operated Namibian hunting outfitter dedicated to providing exclusive, personal and professionally guided African free-range hunting adventures. From challenging plains game hunting for kudu, oryx, eland, sable and zebra to exciting dangerous game hunts, every safari is built around personal service, ethical hunting and a genuine connection to Namibia and its wildlife.
At Zana Botes Safari, hunting is more than a business—it is a way of life shared by our family. We believe a great Namibia hunting safari is about more than the trophy. It is about tracking game on foot, experiencing the vast Namibian wilderness and sharing the adventure with people who are passionate about hunting, conservation and the outdoors.
As a family-operated safari company, we host only one hunting group at a time, allowing us to give every hunter and family our full attention and create a truly personal experience from arrival to departure.
Whether you are planning your first African hunting safari or returning to Namibia for your next adventure, Zana Botes Safari welcomes you to experience authentic Namibian hospitality and hunting.
Come to Namibia as our guest. Leave as part of the family.

Testimonial
"If you've read anything on African hunting you've been exposed to the wit and prose of Robert Ruark. The highest compliment I can pay to Zana Botes would be to liken him to Harry Selby in "Use Enough Gun". I have been on twenty safaris in sub Saharan Africa, in 5 different countries, and never have I had a PH more in line with the professional hunters of old. Zana will tell you what he expects from you, what his game plan is in regards to the game being hunted, and will then proceed to coordinate the efforts of those involved in an attempt to achieve success. He does what he says he'll do and is a man of his word- all done with a wicked sense of humor, a commitment to maintaining the true ethics of hunting, and a quiet demeanor that facilitates a positive experience even if a shot is not taken. If you hunt with this man you will experience African hunting the way it is supposed. I believe not only will you come away richer for the experience but you will have engaged in the sport as it should be, ethical and proper with the game given the respect it deserves.."

Thank you again for a wonderful hunt. Ian really enjoyed the stories of the hunt, the pursuit, and the harvest. He has gone through your photos and our phone photos. Lots of good talk and sharing. We loved Namibia and Zana Botes Safaris.

“These guys are a team and can track!!! I’ve hunted all my life and witnessed so much these last two weeks that I wish I learned 40 years ago. Covid is not an issue in the bush, travel is no problem, I feel sorry for people who don’t follow their dream and have an experience of a lifetime. I left my footprints in the dust!”
- Stephan Ira
The hunting experience my young boys and I had with Zana was simply excellent.
Whilst we have been hunting in Namibia many times already, Zana made our safari very special.
Zana is an excellent and very patient PH whose only leitmotif is ethical and sustainable hunting and he makes no compromise on this.
My shooting performance was quite poor the first few days, but he restored my confidence that then all shots were well placed. Only very few PHs have this skill.
We benefited from Zana's educational commitment sharing his knowledge about Namibia, wildlife conservation and farming.
My boys learned that game and habitat management are 99% of hunting and pulling the trigger is only 1%.
Fabulous accommodation and food. The latter deserves at least one Michelin star.
Finally, Zana's trackers and guides also meet the highest standards of ethical hunting.
