Ozondjahe Hunting
Safaris is a bow
hunting outfitter and nationally registered bowhunting
ranch. We were one of the first hunting outfitters to offer bow
hunting in Namibia and were at the
forefront of Namibia
bowhunting legalization, which finally
gained approval in 1997.
Bowhunters, 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 bowhunting blinds are
constructed specifically for bow
hunting, they are very
comfortable, roomy and you can stand up in them to bow
hunt.

hunting blind pictures and here to view our Africa
bowhunting trophy photos. Within the bowhunting 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 bowhunt in full camouflage
may be undertaken by those wishing to test their africa
bowhunting 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
bowhunting license.
Bowhunting 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 Bowhunter’s paradise”
Steve Kobrine, renowned bowhunter, has taken 29 species of African
game and possesses more SCI #1 world records for Bowhunting than
any other person |
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
bowhunting equipment requirements below). Long
bowhunting, recurve
bowhunting and compound
bowhunting 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 bowhunting 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 bowhunting 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.
