GENERAL INFORMATION

Tanzania, the largest country in East Africa, lies just south of equator, between the Indian Ocean and the great lakes of Victoria, Tanganyika and Malawi.

Our company practice in the country since 1993 during the hunting season which occurs from July to December and we are directly allocated the hunting blocks on where we hunt.

HUNTING AREAS AND SAFARI CAMPS

Rungwa
Situated in Rungwa Game Reserve on the edge of Ruaha National Park, the area is a mixture of miombo woodland with little rocky hills and open plains. It covers about two million acres, an altitude of nearly 1100 meters which allows a temperate climate. Nights and early morning could be cold.

Rungwa/Kisigo Game Reserve supports large numbers of wildlife such as buffalo, zebra, eland, impala, East African greater kudu, roan antelope, sable antelope, klipspringer, reedbuck, bushbuck, Lichtenstein's hartebeest, warthog, bushpig, oribi, grysbok, common duiker and other species. Some rivers support hippopotamus and crocodile and of course there are plenty lion and leopard.

It is very wellknowed for the variety of species and quality of trophies, especially lion, buffalo and big antelopes.

It is possible to hunt from 1st of July until 15th of November from when rainy season starts.

 

Masailand
Close to Tarangire National Park in Northern Tanzania, at an altitude of 1100 meters, the landscapes are various with open grassland (the masai steppe), acacia savanna but also little mountains and thick bush.

The main species are Grant's gazelle, impala, steinbuck, lesser kudu, gerenuk, fringe-eared oryx, zebra, wildebeest, ostrich and leopard. Lions and buffalos are present but live in thick bush and are more difficult to hunt.

Other species are Coke's hartebeest, eland, greater kudu, dik dik, warthog, bushpig. Bohor reedbuck and serval cat can be found. Thomson's gazelle is very scarce.

Hunting from 1st of July until 31st December though short rains can appear from mid-October.


Selous
This area is located along the Luwego river in the southwest part of the well known Selous Game Reserve. Landscape is a classic miombo woodland with some few gallery forest.

The species to be found amoung others are impala, common waterbuck, Nyasaland wildebeest, zebra, greater kudu, buffalo, Lichtenstein's hartebeest, sable antelope, lion, leopard, common duiker, spotted hyena, hippopotamus and crocodile.

Elephants could be possible, but Tanzanian regulations are very strict: each tusk must weigh a minimum of 20 kgs. or have a length of 1,70 meter.

We hunt in Selous from 1st of July until mid November.
