game hunting species such as Kudu
hunting, Oryx
hunting and Blue
Wildebeest hunting to name a few. At Ozondjahe Hunting
Safaris,
we take considerable pride in the manner in which we conduct our

as well as African
bow hunting safaris.
Join us to trophy
hunt Africa on one of the largest privately owned game reserves in Namibia,
covering 75,000
acres (30.000 hectares) or 120 square miles (300 square kilometers) in one solid landmass. Experience an Africa
hunting safari adventure of a lifetime. This private safari hunting reserve has been owned by a European family for three generations and is well known throughout Namibia for its plenitude of incredible plains game hunting trophy, as well as playing an important role in wildlife conservation. Our Namibia hunting territory is located in a malaria free zone in the central region of Namibia (Otjozondjupa Region), click here for Namibia map. Our Africa hunting safaris territory neighbors the Waterberg Plateau National Park, renowned for its multitude of rare and endangered African big game and majestic beauty. Profiting from Ozondjahe Hunting Safaris abundance, a magnificent array of African plains game may be seen grazing on the open plains or congregating near one of the numerous water holes. Found amongst this profusion of African wildlife are over 20 species for plains game hunting as well as Leopard hunting and Cheetah hunting in this natural unspoiled environment. Click here to read about a Leopard hunt or click here to read about a Cheetah hunt. The African safaris hunting territory consists of a variety of differing terrains including bush land with open savannahs and contains an entire mountain range, Ozondjahe Peak, after which the Namibia hunting reserve is named. The vast area of Ozondjahe Hunting Safaris is 75,000 acres (30.000 hectares) or 120 square miles (300 square kilometers) in one solid landmass, which is ten times larger than the average hunting property in Namibia. This makes it possible for you to fully commit your time to your safari hunting endeavors rather than spending hours driving long distances between small hunting establishments, a common practice amongst hunting outfitters in Namibia. By limiting the quantity of fair chase hunting safaris that we conduct, we consistently provide our clients with the exceptional African hunting trophies that they expect. As a result of our conscientious hunting practices, Ozondjahe Hunting Safaris possesses the greatest variety, game population and quality of African hunting trophy in the region.

| 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.

| AFRICA BOW HUNTING SAFARI IN NAMIBIA | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Ozondjahe Hunting
Safaris is a bow
hunting outfitter and nationally registered bow hunting
ranch. We were one of the first hunting outfitters to offer bow
hunting in Namibia and were at the
forefront of Namibia
bow hunting legalization, which finally
gained approval in 1997. Bow hunters, familiar with the country, consider the overall conditions for bow hunting in Namibia particularly suited to their sport. Possessing some of the highest populations for plains game hunting and variety of African trophy hunting species makes it a paradise for any hunter, but climate and terrain are the features that make it so well-adapted to bow hunting. The driest months for trophy hunting in Namibia are May through October and therefore are the most conducive for a bow hunting safari. Principally, plains game hunting is done from strategically positioned bow hunting blinds, ground hides and elevated stands near water holes and salt licks. Our moveable bow hunting blinds are constructed specifically for bow hunting, they are very comfortable, roomy and you can stand up in them to bow hunt. Click here to view our bow hunting blind pictures and here to view our Africa bow hunting trophy photos. Within the bow hunting ranch vast territory there are over thirty water holes where everyday hundreds of head of plains game congregate, you will certainly see a large number of plains game and have ample opportunity for success on your plains game hunting safari. The challenge of a walk and stalk bow hunt in full camouflage may be undertaken by those wishing to test their africa bow hunting skills in Namibia’s competitive environment. Our clients consistently leave with top quality trophies across the board, including an exceptional number of top 10 all time trophies hunted in Namibia according to Namibia Professional Hunter Association (NAPHA). More than 85% of our hunting trophies reach NAPHA Gold Medal standards or higher, which is why so many of our clients have returned to hunt Namibia with us again and again and have the confidence to send their friends. Bow hunting for trophies in Namibia may only take place on a bow hunting ranch which is registered for this purpose with the Ministry of Environment and Tourism. Ozondjahe Hunting Safaris meets all of the qualifications required to conduct bow hunting in Namibia. To be a bow hunting outfitter in Namibia, the hunting territory must be inspected and approved to become a nationally registered bow hunting ranch, and the outfitter must have one Professional Hunter in possession of a valid Namibia bow hunting license. Bow hunting permits for all species must be obtained by a licensed bow hunting outfitter. Please note that Namibia bow hunting safari rules dictate that each bow hunter may hunt only two animals of each species. Additionally, Namibia does not allow dangerous game hunting by bow, with the exception of Cheetah hunting. Click here for information pertaining to hunting the following species by bow in africa, Leopard hunting, African Lion hunting, Cape Buffalo hunting, Elephant hunting, Rhino hunting or Hippo hunting. “Beautiful bow hunting ranch, packed with game, a Bow Hunter’s paradise” Steve Kobrine, renowned bow hunter, has taken 29 species of African game and possesses more SCI #1 world records for Bow Hunting than any other person |

| BOW HUNTING SAFARI EQUIPMENT | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| We
recommend bringing two well-tuned hunting bows of draw weight
not less than 50lbs, or 70lbs if you will be hunting
African big game (see Namibia
bow hunting equipment requirements below). Long
bow hunting, recurve
bow hunting and compound
bow hunting is allowed, but crossbows are not
allowed. Arrows can be made out of wood, fiberglass, carbon or aluminum and the shaft must have a minimum length of 19.68 inches (500 mm). The arrows must be fitted with broadheads of modern configuration with at least two cutting blades and a minimum length and width of 1 inch (26 mm). Broadheads may not be barbed or have serrated edges, mechanical broadheads are legal in Namibia. Special arrow points such as judo points, bird points or blunt points may be used for bow hunting birds only. A range finder can be a valuable tool for assessing distance in our unfamiliar Namibia hunting enviroment. A good supply of arrows, strings and other spares should be brought along, as there is virtually no bow hunting equipment available in Namibia. The most suitable colors for camouflage are a combination of muted gray, brown and yellow. Consult chart below for minimum kinetic energy and arrow weight requirements in Namibia. “An ideal spot for Bow Hunting” Romain Boutonnet Click here to view our bow hunting blind pictures and here to view our Africa bow hunting trophy photos. |

| CHEETAH HUNTING | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| If you are looking for a Cheetah hunt take into consideration that we have the highest density of Cheetah population in the world right where Ozondjahe Hunting Safaris game reserve is located. Our Cheetah hunting trophy pictures speak for themselves, click here to view our Cheetah hunting pictures or click here to view our African hunting trophy photo gallery. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A CHEETAH HUNT | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A Cheetah
hunt is challenging because a Cheetah
hunting territory is vast so they are
constantly on the move. Even more complicating is the fact that
a Cheetah only eats freshly killed meat so they don't respond to
baiting as is commonly done for Leopard
hunting or Lion hunting. Suffice it to say that Cheetah
hunts are mostly done on an encounter basis and
some tracking can also be conducted. It does take a bit of chance
to encounter them, though we have key areas such as play trees,
rock formation, plains and water holes that are frequented by Cheetahs
who pass through Ozondjahe Hunting
Safaris territory. We have an excellent native tracker in particular at Ozondjahe Hunting Safaris who has been tracking and hunting Cheetahs with us for over 20 years who is an expert at locating them, he has even been featured on the Discovery Channel for his expertise, that’s as good as it gets, when it comes to Cheetah hunting. Needless to say, with the exceptional abilities of our trackers, we have an excellent Cheetah hunting success rate. Please note that the USA does not permit the importation of a Cheetah hunting trophy, as well as some other countries. There is no particular time of the year that is considered better to hunt Cheetahs at Ozondjahe Hunting Safaris as Cheetahs are present throughout the year. Dangerous game hunting, meaning Cheetah hunting and Leopard hunting, require a minimum of 12 hunting days and are combined with a plains game hunting safari. Should a Cheetah or Leopard be encountered on a plains game hunt, it may be taken ONLY upon approval by the Professional Hunter and payment by the client of a special tariff of US$ 1500.00 per animal in addition to the regular Trophy Fee rate. Although Namibia does not allow dangerous game hunting by bow such as Leopard hunting, bow hunting cheetah is permitted. Considering the challenging nature of a Cheetah hunt, we offer no guarantee and please be aware that any African hunting outfitter who offers a Cheetah hunting guarantee is most certainly doing something unethical in his methods or practices.

| LEOPARD HUNTING | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| If you are looking for a Leopard hunting safari, Ozondjahe Hunting Safaris game reserve has a high population of Leopards for the trophy hunter who has been seeking this elusive member of the Big Five as well as other dangerous game hunting. click here to view our Leopard hunting pictures or click here to view our African hunting trophy photo gallery. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A LEOPARD HUNT | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| We do have a healthy number of Leopards on the game reserve, however we strictly limit our Leopard
hunt s in an effort to manage our wildlife resources. We offer only four to five Leopard
hunting safaris each year. We work on a demand
basis, meaning when you are coming for a Leopard
hunt we will start baiting and setting up hides
in key locations a couple months before your arrival in order to stimulate the Leopard activity and increase
your chances of taking your Leopard. We do not set out baits for Leopard hunting all year long as specialized Leopard hunting safari outfitters do, we consider that to be feeding not baiting. We do not offer any guarantee as a specialized Leopard hunting outfitter may, but our daily rates are much lower, we do not charge for baiting and the minimum required hunting days are less than these types of Leopard hunting operations. Our clients also enjoy combining their Leopard hunt with plains game hunting which is not always possible with other Leopard hunting safari outfitters, where clients may spend up to twenty-four hours a day in the blind for days on end. The better months for Leopard hunting at Ozondjahe Hunting Safaris are April through November, although Leopards are present and can be hunted throughout the hunting season. We have an excellent Leopard hunting success rate. Please note that the USA, as well as some other countries, require a CITES permit for the importation of a Leopard hunting trophy, which ideally should be applied for before the Leopard hunt takes place. Both Leopard hunting and Cheetah hunting requires a minimum of 12 hunting days and are in combination with a plains game hunt. Should a Leopard or Cheetah be encountered on a plains game only hunt, it may be taken ONLY upon approval by the Professional Hunter and payment by the client of a special tariff of US$ 1500.00 per animal in addition to the regular Trophy Fee rate. Namibia does not allow bow hunting Leopard, however South Africa bow hunting laws permit such dangerous game hunting. Although permits for South Africa bow hunting Leopards are scarce, should you be interested in bow hunting in South Africa for a Leopard, please contact us so we can help you with this special request. Although bow hunting Leopard is not allowed, cheetah bow hunting in namibia is permitted. Click here to read about Cheetah hunting. |

| AFRICA BIRD HUNTING NAMIBIA | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Interested in a bit of bird
hunting to compliment your African plains game hunting safari? There may be a chance during Namibia
bird hunting season, May through November,
for some adrenaline charged Africa
wingshooting, which we offer at no
additional cost (except if you have purchased a package hunt,
we charge US$ 100/excursion which includes all birds shot). Please see chart below for bird
hunting season. Wingshooting safaris that do not include plains game hunting can be organized for groups of two to four shooters at a daily rate of $450 per person, which includes all birds shot. We are home to more than one of the world’s finest sporting birds such as Namaqua Sandgrouse, Doublebanded Sandgrouse, Burchell Sandgrouse, Laughing Doves and Cape Turtle Doves, in addition to Helmeted Guineafowl, Redbilled Francolin, Kurrichane Button Quail and Harlequin Quail. Even a skillful sportsman will be impressed with the sheer speed, agility and formidable number of Namibia’s worthy African game birds. click here to view our bird hunting pictures or click here to view our African hunting trophy photo gallery. “Huge numbers of Grouse, fast paced and challenging” Alfred Kaus An abundance of Sandgrouse is found in our region, flying great distances to drink at favored water holes during the morning hours. These agile birds are hunted as they approach the water in large numbers and descend at high speeds. Doves challenge Sandgrouse in many ways, flying with extreme swiftness and remarkable acrobatic skill. As challenging as anywhere else in the world, these fine sporting birds are hunted at water holes in the late afternoon and are sometimes so numerous, choosing which one to shoot can be the hardest part. Typically found on open grassland, Guineafowl, Francolin and Quail are tricky escape artists proving hard to flush and are usually hunted walked-up with our bird dog. A twelve-gauge shotgun is advisable, for your convenience should you not wish to travel with your own shotgun, one of ours may be hired for US$ 30 per day and ammunition supplied for US$ 13/box (25 count per 12 gauge shotgun shells). |

| ARMS & AMMUNITION | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| While
most shots are taken from within a 110 yards (100 meters), they
can range from fairly close in thicker bush to relatively long distances
up to 250 yards (230 meters) on open plains, so a good variable
scope is suggested, you may also consider bringing a shooting stick or you can use one of ours. Any caliber .270 or higher may be used for most plains game hunting but we strongly recommend a .300 Magnum caliber rifle or higher. For Cape Eland a .375 H&H Magnum is more suitable. About 60 rounds of ammunition should be sufficient for a twelve-day hunt. Eighty rounds of ammunition per firearm is the maximum allowable. We think it best that you bring some type of wearable rifle cartridge carrier. We recommend that clients bring their own rifle, although firearms and ammunition may be hired by prior arrangement for US$ 30/day and ammunition supplied at a nominal fee. For optimal performance, rifle sighting will be done prior to the commencement of your hunting safari. Handguns, automatic weapons and solid point cartridges are not permitted in Namibia. “I was very pleased and would recommend Ozondjahe Hunting Safaris to others” Brent Wilbur |

| CLIMATE IN NAMIBIA | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Located
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.
