NAPHA

For over five decades, the Namibia Professional Hunting Association (NAPHA) has been a guiding force in shaping Namibia’s internationally respected model of conservation through ethical, sustainable hunting.

​

We represent a community of dedicated professional hunters, hunting guides, and conservationists who are committed to the principles of fair chase, wildlife stewardship, and responsible natural resource management. Our members work in close cooperation with Namibia’s Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism (MEFT), landowners, and rural communities to ensure that every hunting experience contributes meaningfully to both conservation and economic sustainability.

​

Through strict adherence to ethical guidelines, NAPHA promotes practices that protect Namibia’s biodiversity, support wildlife-based land use, and generate income that uplifts local communities. By maintaining healthy game populations and valuing older, post-prime animals, our work helps restore balance in Namibia’s ecosystems - proving that conservation and hunting, when guided by principle, can thrive hand in hand.

​

Whether through hunter education, policy advocacy, or on-the-ground conservation projects, NAPHA continues to lead with integrity, tradition, and an unwavering respect for the wild.
