Simanjiro Naberera WMA, Masailand, Northern Tanzania

The Simanjiro Naberera Wildlife Management Area in northern Tanzania offers hunters more than 440,000 acres of free-range East African wilderness, characterized by open savanna, rolling grass plains, dry acacia woodland, and classic Maasailand terrain. This remote concession supports exceptional populations of both plains game and dangerous game hunting species, delivering an authentic safari experience in one of Tanzania’s most scenic hunting regions.

Wildlife densities throughout the concession are exceptional, with Cape Buffalo, elephant, lion, zebra, wildebeest, bushbuck, and hyena all regularly encountered throughout the safari area. Hunters also have the opportunity to pursue unique East African plains game species including gerenuk, fringe-eared oryx, Coke’s hartebeest, Thomson’s gazelle, Grant’s gazelle, white-bearded wildebeest, and East African impala.

Tanzania also remains one of the few African countries where traditional hyena hunts for the elusive striped hyena may still legally take place under regulated safari hunting conditions. On clear days, the spectacular views across Maasailand stretch toward the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro, adding to the atmosphere of this classic East African safari destination.
