TANZANIA
Traditionally
acclaimed for exceptional hunting and trophy quality, now is the time to enjoy
a Tanzanian Safari. Experience first class service and traditional tented
camps. Best success for good maned Lions. Collect all the indigenous
Tanzanian species - including the elusive Gerenuk and Lesser Kudu.
Outfitter operates out
of 3 different concessions (M1; R1 and K4) , situated north west of
Selous some 500kms from DAR making it possible to drive(6 hrs on tar
road) or fly into the areas' airstrips. If you happen to have a
map of the Selous the concessions are between ruaha river to the north and
Kilombero river to the south, M1 and R1 are adjacent to each other while K4
is to the south of the other two concessions.
The species available include
buffalo, Liechtenstein hartebeest, common waterbuck, Roosevelt sable, nyasa
wildebeest, zebra, impala, lion, leopard, elephant, eland, plenty of hippo and
crocs, reedbuck, bushbuck, warthog, hyena and plenty of other smaller
game.
On trophy quality, lion
are the typical Selous type, big bodied but less mane compared to
western and masailand ones. Some exceptionally good ones have been
taken and the chances are 50% - 70%. The leopard trophy is of very good
size as there's plenty of food around (over 80% chance), while the elephant taken are
over 5 ft 10 inches in length with weight average 30 lbs.
The beauty of the Selous lies
in its' real wilderness, plenty of game around makes it an
excellent place for those wanting to see the real old Africa. The
experience one gets from hunting there is just unique, it's really wonderful
for family safaris. One could do some tiger fishing as the camps
are all located along the Ruaha and Kilombero rivers.
Their professional hunters
are mostly Zimbabwe whites (if clients request we do provide for local
ones), their hunting skills and knowledge of wildlife and the bush is
excellent. The best time for the cat hunters is from August
1st while elephant hunting is all season round i.e. from July 1st
