General Information
1. Air Travel
We recommend that you fly into the Hosea Kutako International Airport,
which is located close to Windhoek, the capital of Namibia. It is only a
short drive from the Hosea Kutako International Airport to Klawerberg.
Roundtrip transfers between Hosea Kutako International Airport and
Klawerberg are free of charge.
Due to restrictions on rifle imports applicable in many countries we recommend traveling via
Frankfurt, Germany directly to Namibia. For more information in this regard we recommend the
NAPHA website.
Air Namibia flies directly from Europe to Namibia.

3. Rifle exports and imports

- Before going on safari, take a trip down to the local Customs Office, and get a form 4457. (CERTIFICATE OF
REGISTRATION OF PERSONAL EFFECTS TAKEN ABROAD) You must have Form 4457 to bring these items back into the country
Take all your guns, cameras, binoculars, and anything with a serial number on it with you to the Customs office. It is wise to keep your ammunition in their original wrappings
NAMIBIA
- Namibia is one of the most hunter friendly countries in Africa. Bring one strong gun case with one or two rifles( not the same caliber), with an allowance of 80 rounds of ammo per rifle and not more
- A rifle in the 300 Magnum range (300 WinMag, 338, etc) will be sufficient for everything up to Eland.
- When you book we will supply an Example Import/Export form for your rifles. On it you can compile all the relevant information. This will speed up completion of the official form, which will be handed to you by the Namibia Police on arrival.
- At the bottom of the Rifle Import/ Export form there is a table to be completed. Here is an example of what is required:

4. Clothing requirements
- A pair of well broken in boots is important. Bring a broad rimmed hat to protect neck and ears against the sun.
- Bring something warm for the evenings and early mornings, especially during our winter (June to August). It is cold at night!
- We prefer hunters to hunt in long pants and long sleeved shirts. Both as sun protection and general protection. Most of our bushes have thorns! Make sure you don't pick bright colors - khaki and/or faded blue, green, etc will be best. Although we use camouflage in the bush, public use is reserved for police and military.
- Above all, travel light! We have a daily laundry service.
- A complete gear list will be supplied.
5. Cameras, etc
- Our power supply is 220 volt. If you bring electronic equipment (e.g. battery charger), make sure you bring the necessary adaptors and converters. The same is true for any electrical device (hair dryers, etc).
- Make sure your camera bag is dust proof.
