Hello from Ireland

:S Welcome:
Namibia is a great country to visit and for your first safari.
Dont be afraid to ask questions. We all had a first safari and lots of folks around here visit Namibia regularly :D Beers:
 
In July 2025 we have a wedding to attend in Germany near Frankfurt, which appears to fly direct to Nambia.

So looking recommendations for outfitters- I don't have a wishlist other then a Kudo.

Somewhere with a luxury lodge and opportunities to do some sightseeing and keep the wife happy!

Welcome! Certainly glad to have you here with the rest of us!
 
Welkom! Lots of great outfitters in Namibia. @Sika98k is a fellow Irishman like you. He has certainly good advice as if iirc has multiple safaris to Namibia under his belt.

I hunted last year in Namibia. You can look up my report in the hunting reports section.

Good luck searching for the right outfit for you.

Have a look at Khomas Highland Safaris. They are a site supporting outfitters, great German family that just built a new lodge, have horse back trips for the wife and they can do site seeing and fishing trips to Swakopmund. Great hunting as well. Highly recommended…
 
I'm a hunter from the north of Ireland, mainly hunting Red, Sika and Fallow deer.

Looking for some advice on booking my first safari (along with my wife).

We would like to visit Nambia to hunt and sight see.
My mother’s maiden name is McGuire and her middle name is Nell so Irish runs through my veins!!! While Namibia is great everything depends on your budget. If this is your first Safari I recommend the Eastern cape with @game4africa for a 5 animal PG hunt with excellent facilities you and your wife will love. It was my first safari. You can take Kudu, Zebra, Impala, Black Widebeest and Springbok for about $5,000 and about $2000 for your wife observer fee which will get you 7 full hunting days. Good luck with wherever you go and welcome to Africa!!!!!
 
Just look at the sponsors of this website; there's a bunch of outfitters who either live in Namibia, or have concessions to hunt.
 
welcome aboard!

as @Mekaniks said Thomas Highland Safaris is a great company that i have hunted with and would heartily recommend. they have plenty of great rental rifles if you don't want to bring your own and are very connected to the german community.
 
Good day! Welcome to AH!

Phillip I was reviewing some of the auctions online and saw your Nubian Ibex hunt coming up this weekend. It also showed you have Addax and Axis deer. Is there a website I can go to and see the lodge, cost of animals and what is available? Thanks Mark

Appreciate your Limcroma/Franco comments. Will be seeing him in April....again. great person as well as his family (he has a new born son). I will always recommend him who makes a hunt special and exciting. Marc

I really like that knife you're selling. It looks so similar to my original 1306 that has been around a long time. I can't spend that much but if you get to a point where you'd entertain offers let me know. Thx, James
