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).
