There are plenty of places offering big-game hunts in Namibia and while you can often fire a box or two of shotgun shells during the course of your big-game safari on a spare morning or evening. Few places offer dedicated wing shooting!

I believe I have finally found such a place with a good operator. He runs a small but personal operation and offers all the regular big-game species as well as great bird shooting. In his own words:

BIRD SHOOTING

Our main attraction is Sandgrouse. We have literally 100s of 1000s of them during the dryer months of September to November. We can handle up to 8 guns. Minimum of 2. We have a shell limit of 75 shells per person if it is a group of 6-8 guns and 100 if the guns are less then 6 per day. We shoot sandgrouse in the mornings and during the day we can do up to 5 drives of Guineafowl and unlimited doves in the evening. The guys can also combine it with some plains game hunting. (shell limit on Sand grouse only)

We also have a big cattle feedlot where guys can easily burn 750-1000 shells per day per person on Dove, Pigeon and Egyptian geese.

Our typical wing shooting safaris are 5 days. The first day we do a high volume shoot at the feedlot, the next three days we do the sandgrouse, Guineafowl and dove hunts which are very classic and typical African style and then we end the safari with a high volume shoot again on the last day at the feedlot.

Shells are $15 per box of 25, but are subject to change, if the prices in the stores change. We do have 4 12 guage shotguns at $40 per gun per day. I prefer if people bring their own guns. They shoot better with their own guns.
I have a Winchester Supreme over and under, a Chapuis O/U, Benelli Pump action and a CZ side by side. all of them are 12g.


Bird shooting $500 per gun/day
Big-game $500 per day 1x1, 2x1 $350
observers $220 day
