Price distribution
A species normally targeted by clients keen on collecting the small antelope during a dedicated hunt to shoot the smaller species or as a trophy of opportunity during your hunt. A recommended 10 day plains game safaris is recommended to hunt some of these smaller species, which will cost you $350 - $450 per day in Namibia with a trophy fee ranging from $1,500 - $3,500. Your best deal is always going to be finding an outfitter who has Dik-dik on his property and does not need to travel to another hunting territory.
When to hunt Damaraland Dik-Dik?
The official hunting season in Namibia opens on February 1 and closes on November 30. As these animals are normally hunted as a trophy of opportunity the best time to hunt them is when the grass is short during the dry season. Also keep in mind that this is a semi-arid area where daytime temperatures can be exceptionally uncomfortably hot, so the best time to hunt these critters is probably from May to September when somewhat cooler than the rest of the year.
