Namibia is one of Africa's most sought-after hunting countries - not only because of its magnificent nature and rich wildlife, but also for its clear commitment to sustainable game management and professional hunting organization. It combines authentic African wilderness with safety, accessibility and first-class service.
The hunt is accompanied by experienced and licensed professional hunters (PH) who guide you through every stage - from tracking at dawn to the final stealth before shooting. The land is varied and well-managed, ranging from open savannah to hilly bush, providing good conditions for both challenging and rewarding hunts. Whether you are new to Africa or an experienced big game hunter, you will find a hunt that suits you.
You'll be hunting on over 20,000 hectares of private land, home to more than 38 huntable game species. Game populations are strong and healthy, providing good opportunities for successful hunting with high-class trophies. Almost all of the trophy game we harvest on this land is of high average quality.
The accommodation is of a consistently high standard and really enhances the overall experience. The lodges are located on either side of the hunting area and offer spacious rooms, views of the African landscape, first-class Namibian food and a relaxing atmosphere after the day's hunting. There's room to recharge - both physically and mentally - with a glass of wine by the fire, good conversation and a sense of being far away from everyday life.
This is a trip where every detail has been thought through - from the welcome at the airport to the last day of hunting. Whether you travel alone, with friends or as part of a group, we guarantee a well-organized and memorable experience in one of the world's top hunting countries.

Namibia has a transparent and well-organized system of hunting fees - giving you full control over the cost of your hunt. With us, this means that you choose which game species you want to hunt, and only pay for the game you actually kill.
The trapping fee is a fixed cost per game and is based on the species of game - not its size or medal class. This is possible thanks to the game management on this hunting ground, where the ground is of exceptionally high trophy quality. Almost exclusively medal-class game is harvested here.
We are particularly proud to be able to offer a fixed price per game - with no hidden surcharges for medal size, antler length or scoring, which can otherwise occur on some hunting grounds. This means you know in advance exactly what each species will cost, whether you shoot a nice trophy or are lucky enough to bag the trophy of a lifetime.
We will help you set up a personalized pre-departure wish list, where you can note which species you want to focus on. During the hunt, you'll always have an experienced Professional Hunter (PH) by your side, guiding you towards your goals and making sure you get the most out of each hunting day. If you want to adjust your preferences during the trip, that's no problem - flexibility is one of the advantages of our approach.
Things to consider:
Although there are a very large number of species and strong game populations on this hunting ground, the classic saying still applies - hunting is hunting. We hunt on vast lands, and every day of hunting offers new opportunities. We therefore recommend that you start from your wish list of several species that you are interested in hunting, rather than locking yourself into a single specific game.
Flexibility is an important part of success. During the week, a lot can happen - you may encounter wildlife you didn't expect, or change your focus based on what the ground offers at the time. Being open to this makes the experience both more fun and more successful. When you lock yourself into a few species, there's a risk that you won't get the right chances and that your goals won't be achieved. Our experienced PHs will help you make the right decisions on an ongoing basis, with both quality and overall experience in focus.
First time in Namibia?
If it is your first hunting trip to Namibia or Africa in general, we recommend that you focus on a selection of the most classic and characteristic species - both to get a varied experience and to get into African hunting at the right pace. We suggest a combination of the classic antelopes such as Oryx, Blue Wildebeest, Springbuck, Kudu, Zebra, Red Hartebeest for example. This will give you both different types of hunting and a balanced trophy collection to take home.
Payment:
Please be well prepared before you go, so that you have a clear picture of what you want to hunt and an estimated cost. When you return from your trip, you will receive a single invoice for all trapping fees. This invoice is payable within 3 days, unless otherwise agreed in advance. We are always available for questions or advice - before, during and after the trip - to ensure that everything feels safe, clear and simple.
When you book a hunting trip with Waidmann Hunting Tours , you can opt for our flight package for an additional cost, making your trip both more comfortable and safer. The flight package includes a round-trip airline ticket and transfers between the airport and your accommodation, so you can easily get to and from the hunting area.
The package also includes our Safety Guarantee, which protects you against unforeseen events and gives you extra peace of mind during your trip. This option is perfect for those who want a smooth and safe overall solution where all the practicalities are taken care of.

Traveling to Namibia is the start of something special. As soon as you step on the plane, you leave everyday life behind and look towards southern Africa - towards the vast savannah, red sand roads, and a landscape where wildlife rules the rhythm.
From Sweden we usually fly with Ethiopian Airlines (ET) or Lufthansa with a smooth stopover in Addis Ababa or Frankfurt, for example, before landing in Namibia's capital Windhoek. The flight time is normally around 14-18 hours depending on the route and waiting times. We will of course help you book the best flight options based on date, preferences and price. We recommend Ethiopian Airlines (ET) in the first place.
Once in Windhoek, you are met by our local partner or your PH, and within just an hour by car you are at the lodge. Something that is unique in African contexts where distances are often large. This means that you can quickly get started with the hunt, without long and tiring transportation distances.
If we fly with ET, we land early afternoon and we have time to arrive and check in at the lodge in good time. Therefore, we usually have time to go out to the shooting range and shoot our weapons and train with the PH. Everything is done at a leisurely pace and in a safe, family atmosphere.
Your arms import will be handled smoothly in advance, and we will assist you with all the necessary documentation. Alternatively, good weapons are available for hire on site, for those who want to travel more easily.
Namibia is a very well organized country to travel in, both safe and stable, with a hospitable climate and high level of service. At our lodge, both comfort and character await: a relaxed environment where you can truly relax between hunting days, enjoy good food, and converse around the campfire as the sun sets over the savannah.
In short: The trip down to Namibia is not just transportation - it's the gateway to a hunting experience you'll never forget.
Day 1: Welcome to Namibia!
On arrival at Windhoek airport you will be met by your PH who will take you through the Namibian countryside to the hunting lodge, just an hour away. Once there, you will be welcomed by our hosts and the other PHs for the week. After checking into your comfortable rooms, you'll have the opportunity to shoot your gun and test fire with your PH - a perfect warm-up for the hunt.
The evening ends with a lovely welcome dinner and a welcome drink under the stars. We also go through the hunting setup and look forward to the coming days' adventures on the savannah.
Days 2-5: The start of the hunting days!
During our hunting days we will experience a hunt that you will never forget. Here the hunt is an exciting challenge, and we will experience both the physical and mental aspects of pursuing the game through the vast savannah.
We start each morning with a delicious breakfast, where we then gather for a briefing while hearing the savannah wake up and seeing the first rays of the sun paint the landscape. The first hunt of the morning is always filled with anticipation, moving silently and purposefully through the terrain, listening to the sounds of the environment and searching for tracks.
After an intense morning, we gather for a short break and lunch before heading out on the afternoon hunt. Here the hunt continues with the same focus, staying alert to pick up tracks and follow the game until we are close enough for a successful shot. We round off each day with a dinner, prepared from the game we hunted during the week. The meat is grilled to perfection and served with flavorful side dishes, a perfect end to the day's adventure.
Evenings are spent under a magnificent starry sky, in front of a crackling fire. Here we share hunting stories, laugh about the day's adventures and enjoy a drink. As night falls, we reflect on the day's experiences and feel how the hunt, with all its excitement and tranquillity, continues as tomorrow dawns.
Day 6: Your last day of hunting!
Our final day of hunting begins like the others, with an early breakfast and briefing before we head out into the open savannah, where the tracks of the night game lead us forward. The day is as full of excitement as the others - silently creeping through bushes and across vast plains. With every step we take through the terrain, we are reminded of all the memories we have made during the week. The last day of hunting gives us the opportunity to finish on a high, with one last great moment and a memory for life!
Day 7: We say thank you for this magical hunting adventure.
After breakfast, we check out and say goodbye to the beautiful savannah. We head to the airport for the journey back to Sweden, with all the memories of an unforgettable week of hunting and adventure.
Welcome to a place where elegance and wilderness meet in perfect harmony. Combining modern comfort with the feeling of being right in the heart of pristine Namibia, this exclusive lodge will take your hunting trip to a whole new level.
Each guest room is a tastefully decorated suite, designed with both style and function in mind. All rooms have private bathrooms with water closets and spacious showers with both hot and cold water. The interiors are carefully designed with elegant touches such as custom-made gun racks, stylish bedside lamps and practical tables - all to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
During the warmer months, the rooms offer a soothing coolness with air conditioning, and when winter sweeps in, electric blankets offer a cozy and warm atmosphere. Daily cleaning is of a high standard, allowing you to fully relax and focus on the hunt and the experience.
Of course, you'll have access to 220-volt power outlets and Wi-Fi throughout the lodge - so you can stay connected whenever you want, without compromising the feeling of being in the middle of the African wilderness.
This lodge is not just an accommodation - it is an experience in itself. Here, the raw beauty of Namibia meets the comfort of a world-class retreat. An unrivaled home during your hunting trip.
The accommodation is cleverly divided, with the private bedrooms separated from the living areas - creating both peace and social interaction when you want it. In the lodge's common area, you'll find several cozy corners for relaxing, reading or having a drink in front of the fire. There is also a small office and a fully equipped walk-in gun safe, available only to the group staying there - perfect for safe and convenient storage during the hunting week.
All the necessary kitchen equipment, crockery and cutlery are provided, and a large dining area invites the whole group to dine together. On cooler evenings, the built-in fireplace and indoor grill create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The Lodge's bar is equipped with an ice machine and large windows that open fully - providing a great connection with the outdoors, while still offering views of the pool and other guests.
The adjoining kitchen is functional and spacious, equipped with a double oven, freezer, a large pantry and a walk-in fridge - perfect for both food storage and storage of any game meat during the week. Adjacent to the kitchen is a staff bathroom and a laundry room. Laundry service is available for a small fee.
From the living room you reach two toilets that lead out to the pleasant outdoor area with barbecue area. One toilet is wheelchair accessible, the other equipped with both urinal and standard toilet. The large outdoor braai area, complemented by a classic boma, creates an atmosphere perfect for long evenings of conversation, barbecue and fellowship under the stars.

Right in the heart of Namibia, just an hour's drive from Windhoek International Airport, lies one of southern Africa's most well-managed and game-producing hunting grounds - over 20 000 hectares of private land that combines exceptional game management with first-class hunting experiences.
This isn't just land - it's an ecosystem in balance, shaped by decades of responsible management and a strong focus on sustainable hunting. Thanks to this, the area offers incredibly rich wildlife and very strong populations of many of the classic Plains Game species that southern Africa is known for.
The terrain is varied, ranging from open savannahs and rugged mountain slopes to dense bush and dry river beds - making every hunting day unique. The varied biotope allows for different forms of hunting, with stalkingon foot often being the natural first choice, but other methods are also used depending on the species and conditions.
One of the most unique aspects of this land is the quality of the game. Almost exclusively medal-class trophies are shot here, something that very few areas in Africa can offer with the same consistency. This is one of the reasons we are proud to offer a fixed price per species - regardless of trophy size, without any surcharges for medal assessments. It makes the hunt transparent, fair and free from unpleasant surprises.
The land is fenced according to Namibian law, but with such large areas that you as a hunter experience a real sense of freedom. Here you can hunt for several days without seeing the same part of the area twice. It is a hunting environment that offers natural challenges, exciting situations and a genuine hunting feeling.
The management is done in close cooperation with professional hunters and trackers with long experience - and together with our Swedish tour guide, we ensure that every hunting day is both effective, ethical and memorable.
This is a hunting ground that must be experienced - a destination for those looking for something more than just a trip. Here you get real hunting, in an environment you will never forget.
Hunting on our land in Namibia is mainly done through classic stalking - a form of hunting that requires patience, precision and presence at every step. It is an active and engaging hunting method where you on foot together with an experienced professional hunter (PH) and tracker search for tracks, signs and movement in the varied landscape.
The morning starts early, often at first light. The day starts by car to reach areas of interest depending on weather, wind and animal movement patterns. After this, the hunt is split into separate teams to optimize the hunt and give each group a tailor-made experience. Each team consists of a PH (Professional Hunter), two trackers (local tracking experts) and their own classic safari car to be able to move quickly between different parts of the ground if needed.
Often we hunt in teams of 2:1, where two hunters go with a professional hunter. This creates a more personalized and intense hunting experience, where everyone gets full focus and attention from the PH and tracker team. Your team will move through different parts of the field, with each team following a different path to maximize the chance of finding and stalking game.
During the hunt, you follow your PH and tracker through varying terrain - from open savannahs to dense bushland and mountainous areas. The aim is always to maintain a distance where a safe and ethical shot can be made, without scaring off the game. This approach ensures that the hunt is both exciting and respectful of nature.
The hunt is conducted in an ethical, professional and safe manner. All guides have extensive experience, great respect for the game and solid local knowledge. It is their expertise, together with the quality of the land, that allows us to maintain an exceptionally high success rate - without ever compromising the basic principles of hunting.
We also place great emphasis on good shooting facilities. Shooting benches are available for shooting and practicing at the lodge, and in the field shooting is often done from a shooting stick or natural support.
Hunting here is not just a way of taking game - it's a holistic experience that allows you to become part of the African wilderness, feel your pulse quicken as you approach, and finally watch the sun set over a landscape you'll never forget.
At Waidmann, we're proud to offer a wide selection of game species to suit all types of hunters. Here's an overview of the species that can be hunted on this trip - complete with quick facts, hunting insights and game management information.
Every hunting trip is unique and sometimes you want to add a personal touch to the details around you. That's why we at Waidmann offer the opportunity to enhance the experience and make the trip even more personal.

An unforgettable hunting trip to Namibia - An adventure in a hunting ground surrounded by mountains and endless plains
Right now I am on the plane home after a week that I will never forget. This has been my first hunting trip to Africa and oh how this experience has exceeded my expectations. The contrasts of miles of grassy plains, rolling mountains and the red sand desert. Standing face to face with rhinos at 30 meters, witnessing giraffes at sunset, being amazed by how a group of mountain zebras dancing easily makes its way down a mountain in a couple of minutes that you yourself spent an hour climbing. To see thousands of animals in their home environment from over 40 different species is unreal! But I leave with so much more, enriched with new acquaintances from all corners of the world, and the Namibian culture. To be greeted after a long day of hunting by an open fire, beautiful table settings, grace and fantastic food and drink. To toast, laugh and relive the day together with the other hunters through each individual's unique experiences.
I will travel back, many times, the love for Africa after visiting many other countries was already there but this has given me another dimension.
The journey from Sweden to Namibia
For me, this was the first trip outside Europe with Vapen but also the first time I flew with Vapen at all. The customs at Arlanda were easy to deal with and even though there were some ambiguities from the customs side about "how to do", it went well. After customs, which is located over at the old "airport hotel" Jumbostay, it was time for check-in. I was unnecessarily early and the check-in desks were still not open.
Tips:
After check-in, everything flowed like any other trip at Arlanda.
On the way down, I stopped over in Addis Ababa, no oddities here either, I was met by airline staff when I got off who took me down to the luggage area with about 10 other travelers who also traveled with weapons. Once in place, the weapons were checked so that the license number matched on the weapon and paper.
Arrival and first impressions
When I got off the plane at Hosea Kutako International Airport in Windhoek, the capital of Namibia, I was greeted by a warm afternoon wind after a long but surprisingly smooth flight with Ethiopian Airlines. As of April 1, 2025, Namibia has introduced visas for inbound travelers that can be applied for upon arrival but are a bit more time consuming compared to doing so before departure.
After a quick baggage claim, I was met by staff from the lodge I was going to. I picked up my hunting weapon at the customs weapon delivery which was right next to the terminal. Bringing your own weapon felt both smooth and safe.
After an hour's drive we arrived at the lodge we would be staying at and were welcomed by our guides. We were also offered the opportunity to test fire our weapons to ensure that nothing had happened during transportation. With guns fired and hungry stomachs, the evening ended with a good dinner where expectations were bubbling and I think hardly any of us had to set an alarm the next morning.
Accommodation
The lodge we stayed at was fantastic. There were 6 double rooms with private bathrooms for me and my travel companions to stay in. The food was served in the common living room and dining room which was decorated just as you think a hunting lodge in Africa should be. When the weather permitted, we could also sit outside under the lodge's mighty thatched roof and have lunch or have a sun-downer at the courtyard barbecue and watch the stars twinkle and the moon shine.
Tips:
Hunting
The hunt would last 5 days and was divided into 2 passes per day. Together with my guides, we rolled out into the Namibian morning to meet the sunrise and a world that slowly came to life. Trying to paint a fair picture of this in words is impossible, it must be experienced on site. How the mountains glow in the sunrise, birds chirping, curious animals on the move, herds of 100s of Springbucks, Oryx, Wilder Beast and Zebras.
Then there was an exciting and challenging hunt where you and your PH try to get close to the animals, choose the right animals, create chances that must then be managed. Sneaking, crawling, waiting, becoming one with nature was incredibly cool.
We hunted until lunch and then it was recovery for a couple of hours to then embark on new adventures. Adventures that lasted until sunset.
Although the set-up was the same for each hunting day, no two days were the same. The lodge had its own land of about 20,000 hectares, but depending on what was to be hunted and the current shooting plans, we had another 20,000 hectares available.
Tips:
Preparation and planning
There are three things to prioritize for your trip.
First and foremost, familiarize yourself with the huntable species. Have an idea of what you would like to shoot but at the same time keep an open mind, the opportunity may not be given for what you have in mind, hunting is hunting, but of course you should still have a budget to relate to.
Don't skimp on the shooting before the trip. We all have 100 arguments why we should not have time to practice once or twice extra before the trip but do it. Opportunities to shoot will come when it is both 200 and 300 meters away and it is a security to know that the shot will sit where you intend.
Visualize where the shoots should sit, if you look at the anatomy of almost all cloven-hoofed animals in Africa, it differs slightly from our Nordic biotope. The heart sits a little further forward and further down. The shoots should thus sit between half and the lower third of the animal straight up from the front arch. In other words, a little further forward and a little further down than at home.
Do it!
If you have the opportunity to travel to Africa and hunt, take it. You will never regret it. It comes with a high price tag but the experience you get makes it feel cheap in the end.
Booking a hunting trip is often a long-awaited experience - and with the right preparation, it will be smooth, safe and memorable. Here are some key tips and advice to help you get the most out of your trip:
Choose the right hunt for you
Whether you are an experienced hunter or traveling for the first time, we will help you find the right trip based on your goals, experience and hunting style. Do you want to experience the thrill of a Monteria in Spain, a stealth hunt in Hungary or perhaps a wake hunt for wild boar? We will guide you in the right direction.
Be flexible - Hunting is Hunting
Hunting is always on nature's terms. The weather, the movement of the game and other circumstances can affect the outcome. Although the hunt is the goal, it is often the experience itself - the nature, the camaraderie and the thrill - that becomes the strongest memory.
We're with you all the way
When you book with Waidmann, you get access to a dedicated team with extensive experience in hunting travel. We're on hand before, during and after your trip - whether you need help with trip selection, documentation, gun logistics or something unexpected along the way.
Before your departure
Once you have booked your dream hunting trip with us, you will receive a booking confirmation by email. After that, we will ask you for some additional information, depending on your destination and type of hunting. Your trip will be saved in your Booking Portal where you can manage payments and find additional information for your trip.
For travel outside Europe, we send you two departure letters: the first one about two months before departure and the second one with all the final information, about 40 days before departure, in connection with the final payment. For travel within Europe, we send you a single departure letter around 40 days before departure.
In these departure letters you will find everything you need for your trip, from packing lists and clothing recommendations to tips, offers and information on additional pre-departure details. You will receive your flight tickets around 14 days before departure.
During your departure
During your hunting trip, it is good to keep track of any trapping fees. These are available both here on the website and in your booking portal. We are available on WhatsApp in the group we create a few days before departure, throughout your trip to help if needed or answer questions.
Tip. We really appreciate it when you share pictures and stories from your experiences.
After your departure
Once you are back home, full of impressions and memories of the hunt, trap fees may apply. These will be sent to you within 24 hours of your return and need to be paid immediately.
If you have chosen to bring trophies home, you will be contacted by our trophy management contact, who will inform you about the process, costs and next steps. Please note that depending on the country, it can take up to 2 years before your trophies are fully assembled and at your home. We always follow up and make sure you feel safe all the way, even after the journey is over.
Booking a hunting trip with Waidmann means security, quality and passion. We are one of Sweden's leading organizers of exclusive hunting trips and offer tailor-made experiences where every detail is carefully planned. With our personalized service, experienced guides and close partnerships with carefully selected hunting areas in Europe and Africa, we ensure that you get a hunting trip that exceeds your expectations - whether it's your first trip or your tenth.
With us, you're not just hunting - you're experiencing something bigger.
After the hunt, we ensure that your trophy is handled professionally and according to all applicable rules. Our local partners are responsible for the initial handling - often boiling and preparing for transportation. If you choose a more advanced mount, such as a bow mount, this is often carried out directly on site by local taxidermists. After that, export documents, veterinary certificates and customs documents are handled in cooperation with our experienced freight forwarders.
Waidmann offers help with the entire process - from on-site handling to transportation home. We are there to support you every step of the way and are happy to provide advice on installation and the choice of conservator. At the same time, you as a customer have full freedom to choose to manage the process on your own if you prefer.
The delivery time for trophies varies depending on the country of hunting and the type of trophy, but we will keep you updated throughout the process.
Going on a hunting trip means new experiences and memories for life. Unfortunately, it's not possible to control everything that happens, and sometimes unexpected things happen that can cause problems. So it's good to be insured both before and during your trip.
Often the travel protection included in home insurance and credit cards does not cover everything you need or want.
To make you feel as safe as possible when traveling with us, we have chosen to cooperate with Europeiska ERV, which has over 100 years in the industry. Together with Europeiska ERV, we offer their Travel Insurance Plus and Cancellation Protection. If you want to know more or want to take out an insurance, please contact us and we will help you with this.
The rules for using silencers vary from country to country. In Sweden and many other European countries, silencers are allowed and often recommended for hunting. However, in some countries, such as Spain, Poland, Serbia and Croatia, they are prohibited.
When you book a trip with Waidmann, you will always be given clear information about what applies in the hunting country in question.
Traveling with hunting weapons is possible, but it requires proper documentation and planning. Exactly what is needed depends on the country you are traveling to, but in general the following applies:
European travel: For hunting trips within the EU, a European firearms pass is required, which you apply for at the Police. We recommend that you apply directly when booking, as the processing time can be several weeks. You also need to notify Swedish Customs that you are taking your firearm out of the country. In most cases, a special invitation or hunting license is also required from the country you are going to hunt in - we at Waidmann will make sure you get this in good time.
Read more on the Police website
Travel outside the EU: For example, for Africa or other continents, a temporary arms export via the Swedish Customs is usually required, as well as a hunting license, invitation and sometimes a temporary import license. Rules vary from country to country, but Waidmann ensures that everything is handled correctly from the start, so you avoid uncertainty and hassle upon entry.
Air transportation: Your weapon must be transported in an approved, lockable gun case or bag. Ammunition is packed separately according to the airline's security rules. Weapon transportation must be notified to the airline in advance - if Waidmann books your flight, we will handle this notification and the entire process for you.
Waidmann has extensive experience in hunting trips with weapons and is with you throughout the process. You will receive clear instructions and the right documentation in good time before departure. If you want to travel without your own weapon, it is often possible to rent weapons on site, depending on the destination.
You can definitely book as a solo hunter with Waidmann! We offer both planned trips for single hunters, as well as small and large groups.
We welcome all hunters, whether you are alone or traveling with a group. Many of our hunters find that a hunting trip is a great opportunity to make new friends in hunting. Several of our 'bonded' groups have continued to hunt together years after their first hunting trip with Waidmann.
For those looking for a more personalized experience, we tailor hunting trips for both individual hunters and smaller groups. We also arrange trips for larger groups, where we adapt the experience to the specific needs and wishes of the group. In addition, we have the opportunity to combine several smaller groups to create a common hunting experience, which provides both variety and community.
Whether you are traveling alone or with a group, you can be sure that at Waidmann we will customize your trip to give you the best possible experience.

We recommend that you book your hunting trip at least 6-18 months in advance, especially if you have specific preferences for the type of hunt, destination or timing. Some trips, such as those to popular destinations in high season or with a limited number of places, book up quickly.
However, it is often no problem to book at short notice, as long as there is availability. We have good experience of helping hunters out at short notice when the opportunity exists.
For exclusive or tailor-made hunting trips, as well as trips outside Europe that require more extensive documentation and planning, it is a clear advantage to be in the know well in advance. It gives us a better chance of securing the best hunting grounds, accommodation and flight connections - and you'll have plenty of time to arrange permits, gun exports and other preparations at your leisure.
Absolutely, many of our guests are making their very first hunting trip abroad with us. We have a lot of experience in looking after first-timers and making sure you feel safe throughout the process.
We help you with everything from choosing the right type of hunt and destination to preparation, documentation and equipment. During the trip, you will always have access to experienced guides and organizers who will support you both practically and mentally in the hunt.
For those who do not have their own equipment or want to travel light, it is usually possible to rent weapons and other equipment on site. We also adapt the level of difficulty, organization and expectations to your level of experience.
Whether it's your first hunting trip or you've been out many times before, we'll make sure you have a personalized and professionally executed experience.
