Namibia Professional Hunting Association (NAPHA)

The Namibia Professional Hunting Association (NAPHA) was founded in 1974 in order to promote Namibia as a hunting destination internationally and protect the right to hunt locally. Today NAPHA has over 400 Hunting Professionals (Hunting Guides, Professional Hunters and likeminded supporters) as registered members. The Association has an excellent working relationship with the Namibian Ministry of Environment and Tourism, and is instrumental in advising on new legislation, whilst supporting Conservation endeavours.

For the international hunting clientele, one of the main attractions of hunting in Namibia, is the high standard of ethics maintained by the members of the Namibia Professional Hunting Association (NAPHA)

As a voluntary, non-profit organization, NAPHA is dependent on membership fees, donations and fundraisers. An annual fundraiser is tied to our Annual General Meeting, to ensure continuity of our Conservation endeavours.
