Family Nebe\'s Game and
Hunting
Farm is situated 140 km Northwest of Windhoek in the central highlands, offering a varied landscape traversed by dry rivers, wide open plains and mountains and ideal living conditions for endemic game. Not only the abundance of game but also the breath-taking splendour of this wonderful piece of nature charm visitors with peace and tranquillity under the African sun during daylight and its magnificent starlit sky at night.
Take part in one of the interesting game drives and relax under thatched roof in the shade or at the cool pool. A water spot is situated directly at the house, inviting visitors to view game and birds. Almost all water spots have hides being an ideal spot to view and photograph game. Discover the surroundings on your own on a walk through the African bushveld. The time spent on the farm is filled with discovery and new experiences, ending slowly at the house dam where with a bit of luck visitors can see crocodiles and hippos.
For guests who want to fly in, a landing strip situated 20km south of O'Vita is available.
Hunting season lasts from 1st February till 30th November. The months from May to October are best suited for
Hunting
.
Hunting
is difficult at the beginning of the year due to the abundance of 'open water' in the veld (if it has rained!) and because the animals do not move around much under these conditions, in other words, they may be difficult to spot since they are not eager to go to water points. In November it can get very warm already.
