Hunting in Namibia with Zana Botes Safari

​

Experience hunting in Namibia with Zana Botes Safari, a family-operated Namibian hunting outfitter offering exclusive, professionally guided plains game and dangerous game hunting safaris. From tracking kudu through rugged Namibian terrain to pursuing some of Africa's most challenging game, every safari is designed around ethical hunting, personal service and an authentic African hunting experience.

​

An Authentic Namibia Hunting Experience

Namibia is one of Africa's premier hunting destinations, renowned for its vast landscapes, abundant wildlife and long tradition of sustainable wildlife management. A Namibia hunting safari offers hunters the opportunity to experience Africa on foot, tracking game across diverse terrain while enjoying the open spaces and natural beauty for which Namibia is famous.

At Zana Botes Safari, hunting is more than our business—it is part of our family's way of life. We take pride in personally welcoming our guests and sharing the hunting traditions, wildlife and hospitality of Namibia with hunters from around the world.

Most importantly, we host only one hunting group at a time. This allows us to provide every hunter with a private, personalized safari rather than a high-volume hunting experience.

​

Plains Game Hunting in Namibia

Namibia offers exceptional opportunities for African plains game hunting, with a wide variety of species and challenging hunting conditions.

Depending on your chosen safari and hunting area, hunters can pursue iconic African species including greater kudu, gemsbok (oryx), eland, sable, Hartmann's mountain zebra, Burchell's zebra, blue wildebeest, black wildebeest, waterbuck, red hartebeest, springbok, warthog and other plains game species.

Our approach focuses on the traditional walk-and-stalk hunting experience whenever conditions allow. Reading tracks, following animals through the bush and carefully working into position makes the hunt as memorable as the trophy itself.

Whether you are looking for your first kudu or building a diverse African plains game safari, we can tailor your Namibia hunting package around the species and experience you are looking for.

​

Dangerous Game Hunting in Namibia

For experienced hunters looking for a different challenge, Zana Botes Safari also offers professionally guided dangerous game hunting in Namibia where legally available and according to applicable permits, quotas and hunting regulations.

Dangerous game hunting demands patience, experience and respect for the animal. These hunts are about much more than the final shot—the tracking, close encounters and unpredictability of pursuing dangerous game on foot create an experience unlike any other form of hunting.

Our focus remains on responsible hunting, professional guidance and providing hunters with an authentic experience in Namibia's wild areas.

​

A Family-Operated Namibia Hunting Outfitter

Choosing the right hunting outfitter in Namibia can make the difference between simply taking a hunting trip and experiencing a safari you will remember for the rest of your life.

As a family-operated hunting safari company, Zana Botes Safari believes in keeping every safari personal. From planning your hunt before you arrive to sharing stories at the end of a day in the field, our family and team are committed to making you feel welcome throughout your stay.

Because we accommodate only one hunting group at a time, your safari is centered around you. Hunting schedules can be adapted to your goals, preferred species and pace without having to compete with multiple hunting parties for attention.

It is this combination of exclusive hunting, personal service and genuine Namibian hospitality that defines the Zana Botes Safari experience.

​

Hunting Methods

Every hunt is different, and the terrain, species and conditions determine the best approach. We believe that the pursuit itself should be one of the most rewarding parts of your safari.

Our hunting methods emphasize spot-and-stalk and walk-and-stalk hunting, allowing hunters to experience the Namibian bush firsthand. Tracking animals on foot provides an opportunity to understand their behavior, appreciate the landscape and experience African hunting in its traditional form.

Both rifle hunting and bow hunting opportunities may be available depending on the species, hunting area and safari selected.
