Hunting in Tanzania

As an African hunting destination, Tanzania is renowned for its exceptional trophies, quality safaris, and epic hunting experiences in its untamed, free-range wilderness areas. The country offers vast, unfenced hunting blocks with low hunter density, boasting a variety of terrains and landscapes, including savannas, miombo forests, and wetlands. Tanzania is known for its dangerous game trophies, including four of Africa’s Big 5, which this ultimate trophy hunt includes.

Whether you’re looking for a dangerous game, including members of the Big 5, or a choice of some of Africa’s best plains game to enrich your safari experience, this hunter’s paradise has got what you’re looking for!

The Outfitter hosting the Hunt

With multiple concessions across Tanzania, this  Outfitter and 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 species in Tanzania.

 Trophies

While this Tanzanian hunt includes the trophy fees for Leopard, Lion, Cape buffalo, and Elephant when used by one hunter, you can bring a friend at US$120,000 each which includes US$ 20,000 in credit towards trophy fees. 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, but plains game species, including Greater Kudu, Gerenuk, Patterson’s Eland, White-bearded Wildebeest, Honey badger, Thompson’s and Grant’s Gazelle, and many other species are available to hunt.

Traveling to the Masaailand

There are several airlines that offer flights from regions within the US to Tanzania. For Masailand hunting safaris, 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.

Accommodation

The accommodation in Masailand consists of beautiful, luxury en-suite bathroom tents. They are set up either as twin or king-sized beds, offering comfortable accommodation after a long day’s hunting. Expect all the comforts of home with a shower, bath,  basin, hot running water and a flushing toilet. Electrical sockets run at 220 volts.

All meals are freshly prepared on site by the resident chef. Expect to tantalize those taste buds with some traditional African cuisine also included in meals, allowing hunters to experience the local heritage and culture. Enjoy traditional braais (BBQs) under African night skies and relax around the fire pit, reliving the excitement of the day and regrouping for the following day’s safari.

Lion Hunting in Africa

Known as the King of the Beasts, the hunting of Lions in Africa is often regarded as a rite of passage for dangerous game hunters. Some points worth considering when Lion hunting in Tanzania:

• Ensure that you are physically fit and mentally prepared to face one of Africa’s most dangerous apex predators
• Work with experienced PHs and trackers who are knowledgeable about the area, the animal’s behavior, can track lions effortlessly, and ensure your safety during the dangerous game hunting safari.
• Time your hunt either at dusk or dawn, when these predators are more active
• Ensure that you are knowledgeable about shot placement, resulting in a quick, ethical kill
• Lion hunting is a dangerous and adrenaline-filled hunt: Stay calm, focused, and ready for quick decision-making by your PH
• On that note, always listen to your PH on the hunt. It is their job to bring you back alive and in one piece after a successful hunting safari

Tips when visiting Tanzania

• All visitors to Tanzania require a valid passport that is valid for six months after their return home. Most foreign visitors require visas, and the Tanzanian Electronic Visa Application System is used for this purpose.
• Ensure that Tetanus vaccinations are updated, and if cholera is active, take precautions. Take preventative measures against malaria, such as medications and using mosquito repellents.
• Visitors are highly discouraged from taking photos of military and police buildings or bases, as well as border posts, and are asked to have their passports with them at all times.
• Wardrobe and behavior in Tanzania are conservative. Keep your dress code modest, without shorts and sleeveless shirt options for women, when traveling outside the resort.
• Plastic bags are illegal in Tanzania.
• Don’t travel within 30km of the border with Mozambique (Mtwara region) due to potential terrorist and bandit activity.
