La Bips Safari's (Namibia Africa)
Experience an unforgettable Hunting Safari on Hartebeestloop, our hunting farm in the heart of the Kalahari. On Hartebeestloop you will find the original game density and varied species of Southern Africa.
On our typical Kalahari duneveld landscape you can hunt for Kudu, Eland, Oryx, Springbuck, Red Hartebeest and other game species. We have more than 20 different species available. The Oryx is one of the most typical Kalahari animals and it is truly an exceptional and worthy trophy.
Hunt with our experienced and well trained guides. Whether you are stalking the game or sitting in a hide, we will make sure that it is done according the ethical principles of hunting, thereby ensuring humane practices in the utilization of wildlife. We do selective hunting and thereby ensuring and maintaining the diversity of nature. We are proud to say that we hunt according the fair chase principals as stated in the NAPHA (Namibia Professional Hunting Association) code of conduct.
After a successful hunt we will collect and skin your trophy and do the necessary field preparation. We will gladly advise you on a choice of a renowned local taxidermist and a reliable shipping agent. We want to stress that the utmost care is taken of your trophy: the skinning, the preparation, and the labelling of every part of it to insure that you receive the best possible article back home.
After a breathtaking sunset over the red Kalahari dunes, your fulfilling and exciting hunting day will come to an end and you can relax around the campfire under the clear Namibian skies. You can enjoy traditional Namibian meals prepared by our kitchen with some of our best local beers and South African wines.
Your accommodation is in very comfortable, spacious rooms with en-suite bathrooms with hot and cold running water.
La Bips Safari’s know-how and expertise guarantee you an unforgettable hunting experience. Our rates do not include any hidden costs. What you see is what you pay.

Uhlenhorst Hunting Safaris
The Van Niekerk family of Uhlenhorst has been in the hunting business for many years with a lot of experience in hunting and entertaining guests. Hoekus van Niekerk (Sr.) the owner of Uhlenhorst and his son Hoekus (Jr.) are the guides and make sure that your hunting memories will last a life time. Connie, the wife of Hoekus (Sr.), and her team of helpers will see to your every need when it comes to dining and cleaning. At Uhlenhorst, our three most important objectives are:
- Getting our clients a good trophy that will make them proud and also being a good representative of the species.
- Making sure that our clients and their company enjoy the experience and leave satisfied.
- Last, but definitely not least: For all our clients to leave as lifetime friends of ours.
At Uhlenhorst, we accommodate our guests in luxury rooms decorated with handmade artifacts made in Namibia. Linen is designed by Anin Embroidery, one of our community's proud businesses. Anin is employing workless Nama women from Hoachanas (a black community ±25km/15miles from Uhlenhorst). We cater for the whole family as we have several tamed and semi-tamed animals around the lodge, including our two cheetah pets, Sheewa and Kambesi.
After a successful day in the hunting fields our guests can enjoy ice-cold beverages in the lapa (Thatch roof) or a special sundowner on the red Kalahari dunes. Traditional Namibian meals are served family style or special requests can be catered for as our guests prefer. For your convenience, a small general merchandise store and a Curio Shop are also on the premises. All rooms have electricity (220V). The fresh drinking water is pumped from boreholes deep below the earth’s surface.
Climate and Clothing
Our diverse climate makes it very difficult to predict our temperatures. Normally in the hunting season the nights are cool to cold and it warms up during the day, especially in the sun.
Summer in Namibia is normally from September to April with day temperatures of 25° C (77F) to 35° C (90F). Winter is normally from May to August. The rainy season is from October to April, but heavy storms are not really a concern and do not interfere with the hunting.
Long pants and short sleeved shirts are recommended for the hunt, with a jacket. Colors should be natural, green or khaki. Not heavy, but protecting. A pair of good broken in rubber sole shoes is very important. Sun protection, sunglasses and a hat are essential. The laundry is done every day; therefore it is unnecessary to bring a lot of clothes. Camo clothes for hunting are allowed in Namibia.
Rifles and Ammunition
For smaller game a 1450 joule and for bigger game 2700 joules and up with soft point bullets are recommended. Just make sure it is a rifle you are comfortable with and used to shooting with. We normally recommend a 7mm and higher. It’s good for a variety of game. The telescope we suggest is a 6x40 and larger. This is just a suggestion. You may use what ever you are comfortable with.
Rifles and ammunition can be hired on request at U$ 50- per day plus cost of ammunition.A maximum of 2 rifles of different calibers per hunter are allowed with 80 rounds per rifle (no solid points).
Handguns and fully automatic weapons are prohibited.Import permits for rifles and ammunition will be issued at the airport on arrival.
