Our trophy hunting season in Namibia opens in February and runs through November, being 10 months long it incorporates each of the four seasons. There are no particular months when plains game hunting is necessarily better, but time constraints or personal considerations such as weather, touring, wingshooting, bow hunting or specific seasonal activities might make a certain period of time more desirable to you. Keep in mind while pondering your dates for hunting in Namibia, that seasons in Namibia, since we are in the Southern hemisphere are opposite of those in the Northern hemisphere.
With many years of experience refining their skills, our skinners working under the guidance of your Professional Hunter, will ensure that each of your hunting trophies is prepared to your specifications and treated with the exacting care it deserves. Once we have completed the first preparation of your hunting trophies, as soon as possible after your hunting safari your trophies will be personally delivered to our African animal taxidermist, who will disinfect, pack and crate your hunting trophies and deliver them to the consignor / shipping agent. Please note that you may choose to have your African taxidermy work done in Namibia, partially or fully, or you can have it sent to be done by your own taxidermist. We recommend that you bring to Namibia your taxidermist’s contact information along with their trophy tags, which your taxidermist should easily be able to supply you with. African taxidermy prices will be emailed to you on request.
We encourage you to contact a few of our clients as safari hunting references, there is no better way to gain confidence in Duiker Safaris reputation. Our safari hunting reference list will gladly be provided to you upon request, so that we may ensure the privacy of our clients.
Once your hunting safari has been confirmed, Duiker Hunting Safaris will obtain your hunting permits on your behalf, which is part of our all-inclusive pricing.
In the central high plains of Namibia at an elevation of 5200 feet (1600 meter), the temperature range can be rather extreme, typically varying 35° F (20° C) between daily highs and lows. During the early and late months of the hunting season, the occasional rainstorm can disrupt the clear sunny skies; although there may be heavy showers, they are usually short in duration and typically occur in the late afternoon or evening. In reality our climate is pleasantly low in humidity, the dry heat being much more tolerable and therefore more conducive to hunting than is the case in most other hunting destinations in Africa.
Safari hunting wear should be comfortably fitting and made of a sturdy fabric, we suggest cotton in khaki or a neutral color. We recommend layering clothing since temperature changes throughout the day can be significant, typically varying 35° F (20° C) from day to night. It is essential that hunting boots be comfortable and well broken-in. Due to the thorn bush, we advise against wearing shorts for hunting. For your convenience laundry is done on a daily basis; packing should be done with this in mind.
