Namibia Desert Specialty — 5 Days
Namibia
About This Hunt
Hunting territory: Namib Desert and Kalahari fringe (Hardap / //Kharas)
Territory description: Arid scrub, gravel plains, dune fringe
A short desert hunt for hunters who want Namibia's iconic arid-country trophies without a full week in camp. Gemsbok and springbok share the same gravel plains and scrub; steenbok adds a rewarding stalk in thicker cover on the dune fringe.
No bushveld species (kudu, hartebeest) — this package is deliberately scoped to one arid habitat so every day is spent in the same terrain.
Typical all-inclusive quote: US$4,500–$5,200 (1×1 hunter, trophy fees included where noted by outfitters). Namib–Kalahari 5-day gemsbok + springbok (+ steenbok) starters at US$4,500–5,200 on published 2026–27 lists; sub-US$4,500 quotes usually drop a species or use guest-house rather than lodge.
