Namibian conservationist and Professional Hunter, Joof Lamprecht, passed away in Windhoek on the morning of the 31st August 2015 at the age of 67.
Joof was a published author and outspoken advocate for selective, ethical and sustainable trophy hunting as the most sensible conservation method in our country and beyond. He was a pioneer in establishing dedicated wildlife areas on previous cattle farming land, and owned one of Namibia’s largest and most game-rich and specie-diverse private wildlife reserves.
Joof Lamprecht established Hunters Namibia Safaris (www.huntersnamibia.com), widely regarded as Namibia’s premier safari outfitter, in 1984 with his wife Marina. They recently won the much-coveted Dallas Safaris Club’s international outfitter of the year award.
Those who knew Joof well, describe him as having lived his life in techni-colour, always dancing to the rhythm of his own heartbeat. When a good friend recently asked whether he had a ‘bucket list’, his response was ‘heck NO – I have lived well and fulfilled my every dream!’
Joof was a devoted family man and philanthropist, who established remarkable relationships with his staff members and the local community.
Joof is survived by Marina and their 3 children, Jozef (Jofie), Michelle and Hanns-Louis as well as three-year old grandson, Mason.
He will be buried in a private ceremony on the family wildlife sanctuary in Eastern Namibia.
Marina and the Lamprecht family will continue with Joof's legacy of conservation, hunting and hospitality - Hunters Namibia Safaris will live on.
