Hunting in Mozambique

Mozambique, a former Portuguese colony gained its independence in 1975. This “wild” game hunting destination is located on the Indian Ocean, opposite Madagascar, the world’s fourth largest “Island Country”.

After decades of civil war, Mozambique opened its doors and welcomed international hunters, offering an incredible  of game hunting opportunities. Miles upon miles of open spaces, no high fences where hunters have to search, stalk and hunt animals. Mozambique, especially the Niassa Province which borders Tanzania to the north offers some of the best “free-range” hunting in Africa .Mozambique is known for its abundant wildlife, including elephants, lions, and leopards. Hunting in Mozambique is highly regulated, with specific hunting seasons and limited quotas in place to ensure sustainability.

The open savannas and mountain ranges set the tone for dream African hunts. A hunt in Mozambique offers incredible Sable antelope, Big Four Species (excluding White and Black Rhino), producing phenomenal Lion and Leopard trophies. Hunting in Mozambique, in untouched and unspoiled wilderness, with granite hills and Miombo woodlands is a once in a life experience not to be missed.

Should this be a requirement, we would suggest African Sky Boutique Hotel who are conveniently situated nearby the Oliver Tambo International Airport.  African Sky, also provides transfers to and from the airport and can assist with any rifle import permits before commencement of the hunting safari.For further information, see “Affiliated Services” below. We would recommend making use of Airlink for “local African flights” from South Africa to Pemba. Flights are on time, the snacks are great and importantly, they serve “adult beverages”. 

From Pemba, hunters will have the option of either making use of a private air charter, or traveling by road transfer to the hunting concession.
