Niassa, is truly wild Africa. A vast and untouched wilderness. It does not get more remote than this. This prime hunting concession in Mozambique is famous for producing   trophy Lions and Cape Buffalo. Sable populations in this are good, with recent game estimates in excess of 9000. You will be spoilt for choice.

The Niassa Province regularly delivers world class trophies and quality “Dagga Boys”, famous for their attitude and character. These Buffalo can charge like a military tank, so shot placement will need to be “on the money”. Takes one bullet to kill a Cape Buffalo, anther few to convince the Cape Buffalo of that fact.

The Niassa Reserve is beautifully managed by having moderate quota allocations per species, age-appropriate harvesting and is well isolated from human activities. Bordering Tanzania, Niassa is the largest conservation area in Mozambique at more than 26 000 square miles.

The province of Niassa, is a wild life paradise like nowhere else in Africa. This should not be surprising as Niassa is part of the same eco-system as Tanzania’s Selous Reserve.
