Hunting at Gamsberg
For more than six decades, Robin Hurt Safaris has offered traditional fair-chase hunting across Africa. At Gamsberg, our safaris take place across more than 30,000 hectares (75,000 acres) of privately managed wilderness, with access to further hunting areas within the greater Gamsberg Conservancy. There are no high game fences — only low boundary fencing in some areas — allowing wildlife to move freely across this vast landscape of mountains, open plains and dry river valleys.
Hunting here is unhurried and highly personal. We take a small number of hunters each year, allowing us to focus on the quality of the experience, careful wildlife management and the opportunity to pursue mature animals in their natural environment.
Hunting is conducted within Namibia’s strictly regulated and monitored wildlife management system, with conservation always at the heart of our approach. The income generated through hunting is reinvested into the conservation and management of this wilderness and supports our team and their families.
Hunters are welcome to bring their own firearms, or rifles can be made available for hire. Bow hunting can also be arranged.
Plains Game
Gamsberg offers a diverse range of indigenous plains game across very varied terrain, from open valleys and rocky hillsides to the higher mountain country.
Species regularly hunted include Oryx, Kudu, Hartmann’s Mountain Zebra, Springbok, Red Hartebeest, Warthog, Duiker, Klipspringer, Black and Blue Wildebeest, Sable and Steenbok, with several other species available by special arrangement.
Our emphasis is on careful wildlife management and the selection of mature animals, helping to maintain healthy and sustainable game populations across the property.
Hunting in the Zambezi
In Namibia’s far north-east, the Zambezi Region (previously known as Caprivi Region) offers a very different hunting experience. Here, vast floodplains, river systems and woodland create some of the most wildlife-rich landscapes in the country.
We hunt in selected community-managed conservancies, where sustainable hunting provides important income for local communities while helping to fund wildlife management and conservation. Hunting also creates employment, and meat from animals taken on safari is distributed within the local communities.
Our hunting in the Zambezi focuses primarily on Buffalo, Hippo and Crocodile, with limited plains game also available depending on the area and annual quotas.
Safaris here can be arranged as a dedicated hunt or combined with a stay at Gamsberg, offering two remarkably different Namibian hunting experiences within one journey.
