In unserem neusten Podcast sprechen wir mit Vertretern der Namibia Professional Hunting Association über die wirtschaftlichen Vorteile der Jagd in Namibia. Außerdem geht es um die Rolle der Trophäenjagd beim Naturschutz und die Kriterien, die dabei verwendet werden. ⌖🦌🇳🇦

The Nile crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus) is a large crocodilian native to freshwater habitats in Africa, where it is present in 26 countries.
The Nile crocodile is one of the largest and most powerful reptiles on Earth!
Here are some jaw-dropping facts about this incredible species:

Fascinating Facts:

👉🏽They can grow up to 5 meters (16 feet) long and weigh over 500 kg (1,100 lbs)! Their bite is among the strongest in the animal kingdom.

👉🏽🌍 Found in rivers, lakes, and marshlands across sub-Saharan Africa - Namibia’s rivers are the home to these historic creatures.

👉🏽They can live up to 70 years in the wild.

👉🏽Nile crocodiles are true opportunists, they eat fish, birds, and mammals—even taking on large prey like zebras and wildebeest!

👉🏽Female crocs guard their nests fiercely and carry their hatchlings in their jaws to the water for safety.

The Nile crocodile has ruled waterways for millions of years, perfectly adapted to its environment. A true survivor!

To hunt a croc in Namibia is an amazing experience.

🌟 Thank You to Our Sponsors! 🌟 As we celebrate 50 years of NAPHA, we are proud to reflect on the growth and success of our community, made possible through the unwavering support of our sponsors. To honour this milestone, we revised our sponsorship categories to align with our Medal system, a cornerstone of NAPHA since the adoption of the Age Related Trophy Measurement System in 2019. The sale of medals remains a vital source of income for NAPHA, funding initiatives such as the Hunters Support Education – Nature Awareness Project, participation in international trade shows, and social upliftment programmes like guiding courses for disadvantaged Namibians. However, we recognise that the contributions of our sponsors are equally crucial. Your generosity empowers us to continue our mission of conservation hunting and community support. Thank you for standing by us as we celebrate five decades of impact. Together, we ensure a sustainable future for our hunting heritage and conservation efforts. #NAPHA50Years #ConservationHunting #Gratitude

Who are we?

The Namibia Professional Hunting Association 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 and Professional Hunters) as registered members. The Association has an excellent working relationship with the Namibian Ministry of Environment and Tourism, and is instrumental in forming new legislation. For the international hunting clientele, one of the main attractions of hunting in Namibia is the high standard of ethics maintained by the Namibia Professional Hunting Association (NAPHA). A proud 40-year history of ethical, reasonably priced trophy hunting of the highest standard in Namibia has revealed that sustainable utilization of wildlife resources has been a major factor in protecting our game populations. Even depleted game species, which formerly populated areas of Namibia, have been re-introduced through effective game management based on the principle of conservation through selective hunting. NAPHA is therefore convinced that mans' oldest cultural heritage, namely hunting, carried out through sustainable game utilization, is an effective tool to ensure the survival of wildlife and the well-being of local communities.
