Lake Cahora Bassa in Mozambique
This dangerous game hunt will take place on an exclusive hunting concession which is situated in the Tete-Sofala Province of Mozambique, which is one of the greatest Crocodile and Hippo hunting grounds in all of Africa, home to feared predators. The shoreline of Lake Cahora Bassa is very irregular with loads of estuaries and waterways, surrounding by rolling hills covered in Baobab trees and Mopane forests. This is true wild Africa and Crocodiles are responsible for killing more than 100 people on the lake every year. We, the team of Game Hunting Safaris have personally hunted
crocodile on lake Cahora Bassa and highly recommend this hunting safari. We harvested two monster crocodiles, one which measured 14,9 feet and the other 15,1 feet. The shorelines of Lake Cahora Bassa are present optimum conditions for these aquatic hunts boasting over 45 miles of untamed coastline. Perfect for dangerous game hunting of Crocodile and Hippo.
Traveling to Lake Cahora Bassa
You will travel into Tete International Airport from Johannesburg South Africa. Daily flights are available on Airlink, Monday to Friday and it is a short flight, roughly two hours in duration. When arriving in Tete, your professional hunter will transfer you to the hunting grounds. If you only clear customs after 14h00, you will stay overnight in Tete. The drive from the airport to Lake Cahora Bassa, while only approximately 140 miles takes approximately 5 hours due to the poor state of the national roads. Along the way, you will pass many African markets selling all types of food and vegetables, ask your PH to stop and purchase some freshly baked bread, it is worth the trouble.
The Crocodile and Hippo Hunt
If there is one think that the “Water horse” and “Prehistoric Man Eater” have in common is the importance of precise
shot placement. When Crocodile hunting in Mozambique, it is of vital importance to anchor this predator. Failure to do so will result in the Crocodile escaping into the deep waters of the lake. He needs to be stopped in his tracks with a well-placed bullet into the spine, with a follow up into the brain.
When Hippo hunting, it will be likely that the Hippo be fired upon while in the water. In this case, only a brain shot will present itself, either shoot between the eyes, or from the broadside, between the eye and ear. Like when crocodile hunting, a poor shot will result in the trophy Hippo disappearing into the deep waters.
This is not a physically challenging hunt, but know that the ability and confidence of precision shooting is a requirement. Definitely get some range time in before the hunt.
Lake Cahora Bassa is one of the best game hunting concessions in all of Africa with giant crocodiles of over 16 feet having being taken.
