Hunting in Tanzania

Tanzania is known for exceptional trophies, specifically dangerous game, quality safaris, and extraordinary hunting experiences in its untamed, free-range wilderness. The country offers vast, unfenced hunting blocks with low hunter density, featuring a variety of terrains and landscapes, including savannas, miombo forests, and wetlands.

Often referred to as Africa’s hunting paradise, Tanzania seamlessly blends an array of species, from dangerous and plains game to specialty species, for a truly unique African hunt.

Your African Outfitter

With multiple concessions across Tanzania, Shahbeck and his highly experienced team tick all the boxes for an unforgettable African safari. They have a deep passion for Africa’s wilderness and are committed to preserving its natural beauty for future generations. They offer both hunting and photographic safaris, guided by the principles of sustainability, safety, and adventure.

For longer hunting periods, there is the option to move between the concessions; this is, however, an added expense, but well worth the effort when wanting to experience different terrain, landscapes, and Tanzania’s biodiversity.

 Additional Trophies

While this Tanzanian hunt includes a Cape Buffalo in the package, there are numerous prestigious and sought-after trophies still on offer on this 10-day safari! Choose what you would like to hunt from the dropdown menu entitled “Additional Animals” to see all the available species and trophy fees for this package in Tanzania’s famed Masailand region.

The Masailand region is renowned for its exceptional dangerous game. Still, plains game species, including the White-bearded Wildebeest, Warthog, Mountain Reedbuck, Thompson’s and Grant’s Gazelle, and many other species, are available to hunt on this 10-day safari.

Traveling to the Hunting Grounds

There are several airlines that offer flights from regions within the US to Tanzania. For hunting safaris taking place in Masailand, hunters can fly into Julius Nyerere International Airport in Dar es Salaam, with a domestic flight into Arusha International, or fly directly into Kilimanjaro International Airport near Arusha.

Should hunters fly into Arusha International Airport, there is a 1 ½ hour road transfer to the concession. If hunters fly into Mount Kilimanjaro International Airport, there is a 2 ¾ hour road transfer to the hunting concession.

The transfer is not included in the package price.

Cape Buffalo Hunting Methods & Rifle Calibers

• When hunting Cape Buffalo, a minimum of a .375 must be used. Large calibers will also do the trick, as the old saying goes, there is no such thing as too much firepower when facing a Cape Buffalo
• Be sure that your shot placement is spot on to enjoy a safe, ethical safari
• Be ready with your second and third follow-up shot – it takes one bullet to down a Cape buffalo, but plenty more to convince it that it’s dead!
• Keep your eyes peeled and bring your A-game to the hunt – this unpredictable and aggressive bovine is renowned for its cunning behaviour of doubling back on the hunting party, making the hunter, the hunted!
