Whilst Kenya terminated hunting because of pressure from western animal rights organisations, Tanzania embraces and values the contribution hunting makes to conservation and the protection of millions of acres of land (and wildlife) which falls outside and far away from the well-known tourist bubbles!

From the dry dusty regions of Masai land to the lush green grasslands of Maswa on the edge of the Serengeti, to the woodlands of the great Selous Game Reserve (which is Africa’s largest protected area) Tanzania offers a diversity of species habitats and hunting experiences. We can set up a custom safari according to our clients’ wish list and we are more than happy to craft your safari itinerary to ensure you are in the best areas at the right time.

Whether it’s Buffalo, Hippo, Leopard, Lion or Elephant, or the localized and sought after Masailand plains game species such as Lesser Kudu, Grant’s Gazelle, Gerenuk, Kirk’s Dik-Dik and others, we can plan a fabulous comprehensive experience for you in East Africa.

Safari camps in Tanzania vary from semipermanent and thatched to classic “old school” tented camp facilities or a combination of both. The operators we work with in Tanzania go to great lengths to ensure that their camps are properly equipped so that you have more than just a comfortable stay!

The hunting season in Tanzania runs from the 1st of July to the 31st of December. Tanzania has three classes of hunting licenses. Hunters can select which license fits their budget and requirements. The choices are a ten-day, sixteen-day, or twenty-one-day license, and more species are available on the longer duration licenses. For example, a hunter may hunt up to two buffalo and a variety of plains game on a ten-day license but must buy a sixteen-day license to hunt crocodiles and waterbuck and a twenty-one-day license to hunt elephant, sable, roan, lion, leopard, fringe eared oryx, lesser kudu, and other species. In addition to the license fee, trophy fees are charged for each species taken, as well as additional government fees, which can add significantly to the safari cost. A full-bag safari in Tanzania is expensive but it is one of the hunting world’s most desired destinations.

Malaria is prevalent in most of the country therefore prophylactics are advised. Depending on where you will be hunting you will be required to fly into Kilimanjaro Intl or Da es salaam. Most folks book their flights on KLM.
