Dangerous Game Hunting Grounds
In Niassa, there are not any fences or borders, and this outfitter has access to more than 3 million acres of hunting rights. The terrain is a mixture of Miombo woodlands, river forests, open grasslands and floodplains.
Niassa is also home to thousands of Elephant so bumping into these animals will most probably be a daily occurrence.
Cape Buffalo hunting will be on foot, following fresh tracks in the wilderness. Hunting in Africa does not get better than this. This is Buffalo hunting at its best. This is not taking a three hundred yard shot over an open grassland.
The Leopard will be hunted by baiting areas throughout the concession in search of these illusive cats. Once the bait has “been hit” and the size of the tracks confirmed to be that of a big male, temporary blinds will be constructed and the hunt for this will begin. Patience will be required.
Shot placement on this hunt is going to be critical. A wounded Cape Buffalo or Leopard are probably the most dangerous big animals in Africa.
