This is an incredible opportunity to hunt the Rungwa River GMA with Giles, a well-known and respected African outfitter who boasts a legacy of successful African hunts and superb client service.  

About the Game Hunting Area: Rungwa River GMA

This reserve is one of the most remote areas within Tanzania and covers a size of more than 3500 square miles, a pure Tanzania hunting safari paradise.

Rungwa game hunting grounds are found within the Manyoni District of the Singida region on part of the western and central Tanzania.

The area consists of rolling hills mixed with patches of forests alongside the streams. The Mpera River offers water to the animals during the dry season, making this area perfect for game hunting. The reserve is also covered with Miombo woodlands, granite “kopjes” providing hunters with access to the dense thickets.

Dangerous Game Hunting at its Best

The Rungwa Reserve is the number one trophy hunter’s choice, and the scenery and terrain makes trophy hunting here a most memorable experience. This dangerous game hunt is definitely a privilege that not every hunter has the fortunate to enjoy.

Besides Lion and Leopard hunting, Rungwa is famous and well- known for delivering huge trophy Cape Buffalo, also known as Africa’s Black Death. Poor shot placement on dangerous game  is not an option. Wounded Buffalo, Lions and Leopard have the uncanny knack of in an instant, moving from the position of being hunted, to becoming the hunter. These guys when wounded, will love nothing better than to gouge, rip or tear the hunter apart.

It is strongly suggested to add one, or even two Cape Buffalo this already dangerous game hunt. Buffalo hunting in Tanzania does not get better than this.

Lion and Leopard Hunting Method

Leopard and Lion hunts are conducted using the baiting method. After an early morning rise and a quality breakfast, plains game animals will be shot for bait.

Your African outfitter will have an extensive list of favorite baiting spots which will be checked everyday in person and by viewing images from trail cams. Once a suitable cat has “hit the bait,” a temporary blind will be constructed, and the waiting game will begin.

Additional animals on license while on the hunting safari.

Like on any Africa hunt in Tanzania, the hunter pays the day fees and is billed separately for the animals which are harvested during the safari.

Spotted Hyena hunting in Tanzania is also a favorite safari and the Spotted Hyena can be added for a trophy fee of US$ 1200. The Rungwa Valley is also very well known for Crocodile hunting, along with fabulous Hippo hunts.

While the day fees are fixed, it is always advisable to double check with the outfitter and confirm trophy fees when requesting a quote, they do change without notice from time to time and it is always best to be prepared in advance.

Your professional hunter will be one of Africa’s most qualified dangerous game hunting specialists, and you can be sure that the trackers, skinners, and camp staff will be some of the world’s best.
