Join Daniel Da Silva on an adventure through the savannahs of Namibia - a generational journey where memories for life are created side by side.
A journey beyond the ordinary, created for those who want to share an unforgettable experience with someone from another generation in its full splendor makes this experience something out of the ordinary.
Available dates in 2026:
During six intensive days you experience Namibia for real. Five days are devoted to hunting on huge areas where the game lives freely and where the form of hunting is always adapted to the hunter's experience and conditions. Here you can hunt side by side with your grandchild, your father, or maybe bring someone who just wants to join as a fellow traveler and enjoy nature, community and adventure.
We also make an excursion to Windhoek where you get to feel the pulse of the city and meet another side of the country. During the trip, you will also visit a school where we hand over game meat and donate toys from Sweden - an important element that makes our trip also leave an impression on others. This day will end in a surprising and memorable way.
Daniel da Silva:
"When I traveled to Namibia with my son Louie, it was the most powerful experience we ever shared. To now be able to do the same trip with my daughter Elvira feels incredible. For me, Namibia is everything hunting should be: exciting, physically challenging and filled with nature encounters that cannot be described. At the same time, there is a warmth and consideration here - both in how the game is managed and how they take care of their guests. Being able to contribute to the distribution of game meat to schools and hospitals makes it all even more meaningful. This is more than a hunting trip - it's an experience for life, to be shared across generations."

What is a Shooting fee:
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.

This trip is created for those who want to experience something real - where nature, hunting and community merge into an adventure you share with those who matter most. Father and son, grandfather and grandchild, or multiple generations together - this is about more than hunting, it's about sharing an experience that stays with you.
Namibia offers vast savannahs, red sand roads and quiet dawns where the horizon never ends. Here, game lives freely, and hunting is done with respect for nature and its rhythm. During the journey, excitement and tranquility are mixed - from the first tracks of the morning to the evening conversations around the fire under the starry sky.
Our lodge will be your safe base - comfortable but genuine, with a warm atmosphere, good food and time for conversation, laughter and recovery in front of the fire. This is where the community grows, where stories are born and generations meet.
Day 1: Welcome to Namibia
Upon arrival at Windhoek airport, your PH will meet you and take you through the Namibian countryside to the hunting lodge, just an hour away. Already on the way you will be greeted by the red sand roads, the acacia trees and the warm light that makes Namibia so unique.
Once you arrive, 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 fire your weapon and test fire with your PH, a first moment where generations meet at the range, and where the excitement of the adventure builds.
The evening ends with a welcome drink and dinner under the clear starry sky. We go through the hunting arrangements and look forward to the days ahead, a week filled with experiences to share between generations.
Days 2-5: Hunting adventure on the savannah starts
During the following days we hunt on Namibia's vast lands where the game lives freely and the hunt takes place on nature's terms. Here, experiences await that both challenge and unite, side by side with father and son, perhaps mother and daughter, or your closest friend or grandfather? Regardless, it is an experience you create together.
Each morning begins with breakfast as the savannah comes to life. The first hunt takes place in the soft dawn light as the mist slowly lifts over the landscape. In silence, we read nature, track movements and follow the wind. After an intense morning, we gather for lunch and rest before the afternoon hunt begins, when the light turns golden and the horizon glows.
The hunt is varied, exciting and adapted to both experience and ability. There is room for everyone, whether you are an experienced hunter or making your first trip to Africa. It is as much an experience as an adventure, where every day offers new tracks, new conversations and new memories.
As the day draws to a close, we gather at the lodge. Dinner is often served on game we have hunted ourselves, prepared with local flavors and love for the raw material. Evenings are spent by the fire under the endless starry sky. Here, stories, laughter and experiences are shared between generations, and it is precisely in those moments that the true value of the journey emerges.
During the stay, we also make an excursion to Windhoek to feel the pulse of the city and meet another side of the country. We also visit a local school where we hand over game meat, an appreciated element that gives the trip a deeper meaning and contributes to the local community.
Day 6: Departure to Sweden
After breakfast we check out and leave the lodge. On the way to the airport, we have time to take in the colors, sounds and smells of the savannah once again and let everything sink in.
It is with a mixture of pride and sadness that we leave Namibia behind us. The camera is full of pictures, the heart of experiences and the mind of quiet moments we shared with each other.
We go home with memories of a journey that means more than just hunting. A journey that unites generations and leaves an impression far beyond the savannah.
It combines modern comfort with the feeling of being right in the heart of untouched Namibia. The lodge offers an exclusive experience where every detail elevates your hunting trip to a new level.
Each guest room is a tastefully decorated suite with a private bathroom, spacious shower and everything you need for a comfortable stay. The interiors are stylishly designed with hand-picked details such as coat racks, bedside lamps and functional tables.
In the warmer months, air conditioning keeps you cool, and during the cooler nights, electric blankets create a cozy feeling. Daily cleaning is of a high standard so you can fully focus on the hunt and the experience.
This is more than an accommodation - it's an experience in itself. A place where the raw beauty of Namibia meets the comfort of a world-class retreat.
Wi-Fi: Access to stable Wi-Fi in the main building for those who want to stay in touch with family or share the day's experiences.
Meals: Full board with breakfast, lunch and dinner. Food is carefully prepared, often using local produce and game from the area, served in the lodge dining room or under the stars by the fire.
Distance to the hunting ground: The hunt starts right outside the lodge - the grounds are directly adjacent, which means that you are quickly out on the savannah without long transportation.
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, offering everything 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 stalking on 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.

A fantastic trip that was far beyond expectations. An absolutely wonderful person named Daniel as tour guide, hunter, friend and entertainer. Not to mention the Lodge with Steph and Mari - Louise at the helm and the guides Steph, Frank and Ben who were amazing people with immense knowledge. The amazing kitchen staff and their food and trackers with falcon eyes. In addition, all the new good people from around Sweden who you hope to meet again in one way or another. / Maths
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.
Booking a hunting trip with Waidmann is easy and we offer several convenient payment options. Here are the steps for booking and payment:
Booking and booking portal: Once you have booked your hunting trip, you will have access to your personal booking portal. In the booking portal, you pay a booking fee of 30% of the total amount of the trip, which must be paid within 10 days for the booking to be confirmed.
In the booking portal, you manage your entire trip - you fill in your contact details, make payments and receive ongoing updates and all important information before departure. Everything in one place.
Flight booking: If Waidmann books the flight for you, the flight cost is paid in full as a second payment at the time of booking the flight.
Final payment: The remaining amount is paid closer to departure, and the final payment must be made at least 40 days before departure.
Trap fees, if any: If there are trap fees, these are payable 24 hours after returning from the trip.
Payment: You can easily pay by card, Trustly, Swish or invoice. If you would like an invoice, please contact us and we will arrange it for you.
Cancellation: In case of cancellation, the following cancellation fees apply:
30% of the price of the trip between the time of booking and 40 days before departure.
100% of the price of the trip between 39 days before departure and the day of departure itself.
Flights: If the flight is booked by Waidmann and you cancel the trip, the flight price is paid at 100%.
We recommend that you take out cancellation insurance, especially for exclusive or long-distance trips, to protect yourself against unforeseen events. We offer cancellation cover through ERV.
For questions about payment, booking or cancellation, you are always welcome to contact us. We are here to help you through the whole process.
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.
