Hunting in Tanzania

A hunting safari in Tanzania is regarded by many international hunters as one of Africa’s most sought-after game hunting experiences. Tanzania, is a country with extraordinary landscapes, covering an area of more than 350 000 square miles, from the savannas of the Serengeti to the famous peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Famous legends who were fortunate enough to have hunted in Tanzania include “Teddy” Roosevelt and Ernest Hemingway. Until today, Tanzania continues to maintain this legacy and offers hunters free-range, fair chase and quality hunting safaris.

Tanzania has a network of game reserves and national parks, all carefully managed to protect Tanzania’s rich biodiversity.  These diverse and rich wildlife habitats make hunting in Tanzania one of Africa’s unique opportunities to hunt many coveted and endemic trophies.

What is "Dip and Pack" following a Hunt in Tanzania?

Dip & Pack as it is commonly referred to is the minimum processing requirement that a trophy must undergo in order to prepare for export and shipping. All "body parts" of the animal, including bones, skull, teeth should be dry and free of any "undried" pieces  of hide. Hides must be dried to the extent that they look brittle enough to crack when bent and Buffalo trophies must be packed immediately after treatment.

The "Dip and Pack" Process Includes:

• Soaking inner cores in boiling water for a minimum period
• Soaking again in a .1% chlorine bleach
• Soaking the inner cores again in a 5% Hydrogen peroxide solution
