🦛 Fun Fact About Hippos! 🇳🇦
Did you know a hippo can munch through up to 40 kg of grass each night?
Weighing over 3,000 kg, these giants spend about 4–6 hours grazing after sunset.

But here’s the wild part…
Despite their size, hippos can run up to 30 km/h on land — and in water, they don’t swim; they gallop or bounce along the riverbed!

Thank you for the stunning photo — go follow her for more!

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.
