Düsternbrook is one of Namibia's oldest family-owned hunting and safari farms, where sustainable wildlife management and authentic fair-chase hunting have gone hand in hand for decades.
Located in the scenic Khomas Highlands, only 50 km from Windhoek, our 14,000-hectare private wildlife reserve offers exclusive fair-chase plains game hunting in a truly natural environment.
We intentionally welcome only a small number of hunters each season. This allows us to provide highly personal guiding while ensuring that every hunt remains part of a responsible long-term wildlife management programme.
Hunting at Düsternbrook is not an isolated activity. It is one element of an integrated farming philosophy where tourism, conservation, habitat management and sustainable use of natural resources support each other for the benefit of wildlife, local communities and future generations.
In addition to hunting, accompanying guests can enjoy game drives, hiking, horse riding and the unique atmosphere of one of Namibia's historic safari farms.
Hunting at Düsternbrook follows the principles of fair chase and sustainable wildlife management. Trophy animals are carefully selected as part of our long-term wildlife management programme, ensuring healthy populations while preserving the natural balance of the ecosystem.
We welcome hunters who appreciate nature, fair chase and the privilege of harvesting a mature trophy in its natural environment.
Early in the morning, before setting out, we first check the rifle on the shooting range to ensure that it is perfectly sighted in. We then drive into the hunting area in a 4×4 vehicle, carefully searching for mature trophy animals.
Once a suitable trophy has been identified, the stalk begins on foot. Depending on the terrain and the animal's behaviour, this may take a few minutes or several hours.
Only when we have reached a safe shooting position and the correct animal has been positively identified will the opportunity for a responsible shot be taken.
By then your pulse will have risen. Your unforgettable moment has arrived.
We offer some information which we consider essential to planning your safari, including the procedure to follow in order to temporarily import rifles into Namibia.
As well as some information and links of the latest regulation due to Corona in Namibia.
For us, sustainable hunting is an essential part of responsible wildlife management. Our goal is to maintain healthy wildlife populations while preserving the natural balance between animals, vegetation and available habitat.
Carefully selecting mature trophy animals helps regulate wildlife populations without affecting their long-term health and genetic quality. At the same time, every harvested animal is fully utilized, and the income generated is reinvested into habitat management, water infrastructure, fencing and wildlife conservation.
By hunting at Düsternbrook, you become part of a long-term conservation approach that supports healthy ecosystems, sustainable land use and meaningful employment in rural Namibia.
Wildlife is not only protected — it also creates value. That value finances conservation, creates employment, supports tourism and allows the land to remain in its natural state.
Every animal harvested at Düsternbrook is fully utilized. Much of the meat is prepared in our restaurant, allowing guests to enjoy a variety of high-quality, locally sourced game dishes.
A portion is shared with our staff and with farm workers involved in seasonal projects. Nothing is wasted, reflecting our commitment to responsible wildlife management and the sustainable use of natural resources.
