This outfitter operates their Mountain Nyala safaris in both the Arusi Mountains and the Bale Mountains at altitudes anywhere from 6,000 to 11,000 feet. The permanent camps have running water (both hot and cold), indoor toilets and showers. Most of the terrain is steep, heavy old growth forest with the areas above 10,000 feet thinning to the beginnings of heather and lobelia.
 
Another area, The Munessa concession, is 7,000 feet in elevation and is comprised of old forest and new, cultivated cedar forest where the new world record 18″+ Menelik’s Bushbuck was taken. Recently, a 43.5” Mountain Nyala was also taken here. The outfitter conducts only three safaris per year here and they typically sell out years in advance. Tented Camps are used for this area.
 
Several Mountain Nyala over 40″ have been taken in each concession over the last few years including a 42″ and a 41.5”. Mountain Nyala is the main species hunted but a very healthy population of Menelik’s Bushbuck is also present. Hunting is conducted both on foot and, in the higher areas, by horseback. Often spike camps are used. The thick forest means that normally shots are less than 200 yards: however, one must be prepared for the possibility of a longer cross canyon shot in excess of 350 yards.
 
Other species found in the mountain concessions include Spotted Hyena, Abyssinian Bohor Reedbuck, East African Bush Duiker, Leopard, Giant Forest Hog, and Colobus Monkey. There are limited license quotas for these species. These are difficult but rewarding hunts, and the scenery is absolutely beautiful.

Our outfitter’s hunting concession in Northern Mozambique covers an area of little under a million acres in total. Its northern border is traced by 160 km of Lake Cahora Bassa. The west and south are bounded by the Zimbabwean border and the eastern limit is marked by the Musengezi River. The Lake adds a whole new dimension for clients hunting this concession, offering spectacular angling and photographic opportunities as well as producing excellent Crocodile and Hippo trophies.

The hunting concession incorporates typical Zambezi valley ecosystems, ranging from cathedral mopane forest and Jesse thickets to riverine woodlands and alluvial floodplains. The area supports very healthy populations of Elephant and Buffalo, as well as a diverse spread of plains game including Eland, Sable and Roan Antelope. Leopard are plentiful and some excellent Lion trophies have been taken here. The extensive northern lake boundary is home to large numbers of Hippo and Crocodile and offers magnificent bird hunting opportunities. There are three camps within the concession – two large permanent camps and one smaller, more remote fly camp. All are comfortable enough for even the most discerning clients. Our hunting parties are never mixed.

For the past several years, we have been representing this outfitter with tremendous success. Situated in northwestern Namibia, this outfitter has access to an insane amount of private, non-fenced hunting area that is absolutely full of native Namibian game. Namibia offers excellent plainsgame hunting for Kudu, Oryx, Damara, Dik Dik, Springbok, Red Hartebeest, Mountain Zebra and other species. Hunting parties are kept small to insure greater attention to the individual hunter.

Accommodations are generous with private suites featuring hot and cold running water, electricity, flush toilets and home-cooked meals served daily. Family owned and operated, this outfit is truly first class through and through. Meals are the finest we’ve seen in Africa, and their seasoned staff of professional hunters are excellent at hunting and judging big game.

Don’t let the low rates fool you, this hunting area is absolutely fantastic and we have never had a client come home disappointed. We truly believe that this is the best safari value in Africa, and a great place to bring the family on an affordable adventure.

* These species require a predator trophy hunting permit
** These species require our outfitter to obtain the appropriate permits. Some even require a motivation letter from our outfitter to Nature Conservation before any hunting permit is granted and a refusal is always possible. Recently, approval for some of these species has been more difficult to obtain than in the past and there have been a couple of refusals on Genet and Serval. Therefore, it is impossible to say at the time of your booking if they will grant permits for any or all of these species.
 
Leopard or Elephant package available on request.

For over 15 years we’ve had the pleasure of booking hunts with this outfitter in the Eastern Cape region of South Africa. Since that time, they have continued to be a front runner in conservation of species native to the Eastern Cape and other species indigenous to Southern Africa. This outfitter is unique in that he has three privately-owned areas in the Eastern Cape of South Africa which are home to species found nowhere else in Africa.

These three areas cover various types of terrain and habitat, so you will be able to hunt the game in their natural habitat. They consist of the middle camp, which is situated along 30 miles of Fish River frontage and bushveld. This area also has the greatest variety of animals because of its diversity of bushveld and is home to large herds of buffalo, rhino, sable and roan which makes the hunting very exciting. The mountain camp is nestled in the Winterberg Mountain Range and their ocean camp overlooks the Indian Ocean. This gives one the opportunity to hunt in 3 different areas, each unique and challenging, and a large variety of animals. These three exclusive camps are no more than 2 hours drive apart.

1×1 $550/day
2×1 $500/day each

Observer – $275 per night, each

Hunting Season

The Uganda hunting season is from January through November. It rains all year round (which is why the country is so lush) with slightly more rain on average in April-June and November. However, the rainfall varies from year-to-year. Some species move with the rain, but we hunt where the animals are. The best time to hunt Buffalo and Hartebeest is during the months of December to end of April. After that the grass is too high and hunting Buffalo becomes challenging. All other species may be hunted year round.

Lodge Safari Option:

Our outfitters have built a new lodge on the banks of Mayanja River on an 11 acre plot located in our core area (Nakaseke) in the heart of Kafu where the highest density of Sitatunga can be found, and where the current Rowland Ward No 1 and SCI No 2 & 3 East African Sitatunga Bulls were taken. From the lodge it takes about 15-30 minutes to be in a cerebeti and start your Sitatunga Safari. Quite a number of cerebetis are built on the banks while others are deeper into the Papyrus. The cerebetis on the banks can be reached by vehicle and a short 5m meter walk while the ones in the Papyrus will be reached by using a canoe.

Fly Camp Safari Option – The Ultimate Adventure

The Kafu River Basin is simply a huge dense bush area with cattle farms and with plenty of papyrus swamps, marshlands and rivers lined by papyrus belts. Some of these places are so remote that even in the olden days neither sport hunting nor any local hunting occurred here. These areas hold huge trophies that have never been harvested. Prior to your safari we will prepare a small fly camp on the floating papyrus or on an island in the river/papyrus. The camp will have mosquito proof canvas tents for sleeping and dining plus a kitchen tent. Shower & toilet facilities are shared between client and guide. Only limited staff will be taken along. From that fly camp you will have your cerebeti within walking distance.
Sitatunga in our areas are usually seen grazing early in the morning and late in the evening. They also graze during the daytime where they are undisturbed. In between these times, your guide will take you out to hunt Nile Bushbuck, Oribi, Duiker, Reedbuck, Waterbuck and Uganda Kob. This is “the Ultimate Adventure” – hunting Sitatunga, the Ghost of the Swamp surrounded by Hippo, Crocodiles and abundant bird life.

Zambia is approximately 750,000 square kilometers of which almost one third has been set aside as wildlife sanctuaries and national parks. Our clients have had tremendous success here on some of the best Lion, Leopard and Buffalo hunts the continent has to offer. If it’s the big cats you’re after, the areas we book in Zambia have them. With a diverse landscape there are multiple areas to hunt that offer completely different safari experiences. From the Kafue to the Luangwa to the swamps of the Bangweulu, Zambia is a country where a hunter could hunt for months on end. It’s because of this diversity that we offer several distinct options so clients can collect all available species that Zambia has to offer. Though camps will vary from area to area, all are very comfortable. Expect flush toilets, individual hot showers in each client chalet and a room attendant for each client.

These rates reflect only a portion of what we have to offer, so please inquire about specialized safaris or additional areas.
These are daily rates only. Additional fees including trophy fees, charters and gun permits are not included. Please inquire for more information.

Zimbabwe is a country with a fantastic hunting history, and that tradition continues there today. With multiple outfitters to choose from, we believe we are booking some of the top areas in all of Zimbabwe. We’ve been booking the largest hunting conservancy in Zimbabwe for the past several years and our success there has been outstanding. The area has been managed for over 15 years extensively for multiple species of big game, including the big five.

This is one of the finest areas in Africa for big-mane Lions as evident from our client’s huge, free ranging Lion pictured at right. Our outfitter’s long term success rate on cats, both Lion and Leopard, is one of the industry’s finest. Lodging in these camps is very comfortable and would be a great place to take the family. The Buffalo population in the conservancy has been growing at an unbelievable 20% annually and is quickly becoming one of the best areas for a 40”+ bull. Additionally, with the closure of Botswana at the end of the 2013 season, our outfitter with Elephant areas in NW Zimbabwe is sure to be a hit for upcoming seasons. He offers great elephant hunts for bulls averaging over 50 lbs, and outstanding hound hunts for leopard.

The packages listed here are only a sample of what we have to offer in Zimbabwe, so please, feel free to inquire about other areas or deals. Some fees and services are not included in the hunt package prices, so please call for details. These hunts often book out well in advance, especially for the cats so, call today to arrange your hunt!
