Cameroon also offers a high level of expertise and professionalism offered by outfitters and guides, as well as well-equipped camps and high levels of service.
Local pygmy trackers know the terrain intimately, ensuring that the Cameroon hunting safari is not only safe, but successful. Hunting in Cameroon is not only a choice, but a commitment to support conservation efforts. Cameroon is highly regulated with strict quota. By following sustainable hunting practices, hunters assist with ensuring all Cameroons incredible species will be available for future generations.
Roan antelope, with their pale reddish-brown fur and black and white masked faces are one of Africa’s favorite plains game hunts. Both male and female Roan have horns enabling Roan to defend themselves from predators patrolling the savanna of Cameroon. In Africa, there are six recognized sub-species of Roan, and the Western Roan is found in this Northern Savannah region of Cameroon in the open woodland areas. Roan hunts often take place in the late afternoon as Roan tend to drink at that time of day. River banks and other water sources on the concession will be checked for fresh tracks.
Roan are listed and classified by Cites as a species of antelope of “least concern” and as such a Cites permit is not required.
Northwestern Buffalo are also known as Western or West African Buffalo. West African Buffalo are endemic to the northern savanna regions of Cameroon. In the southern more forested areas, you will find the Forest, or Dwarf Buffalo which are distinguished by horn shape, color and size.
While Northwestern Buffalo may be smaller than Cape Buffalo, many hunters consider the Northwestern Buffalo to be more aggressive and unpredictable. Bottom line when Buffalo hunting, they are all dangerous. Buffalo do not forgive or forget.

The preferred time for savanna hunting in Cameroon is during the dry season, which runs from January through March. During these months, grasses are lower, and water sources become scarce. These conditions make finding and spotting them a little easier. The dry months also makes the terrain a little easier to navigate, with fewer obstacles such as mud pools and dense and overgrown vegetation.
During these months, the warmer and drier conditions of the savanna as long days are needed for tracking and stalking. Mornings and evenings in the savanna can be cooler, but midday heat can be intense, so remaining hydrated is critical.
