The province of Niassa in Mozambique is one of the last remaining areas that is still considered “old and wild Africa.” Niassa is a vast, remote and untouched wilderness situated in the northern area of Mozambique, with the famous Lake Malawi to the west and bordering Tanzania to the North.
This prime dangerous game hunting concession is famous for Leopard hunting, with the area having a history of producing “big cats.” Leopards in this area thrive due to all the anti-poaching efforts and wildlife management programs.
As Leopards are classified as vulnerable by the IUCN and as such a CITES permit is required before commencement of the hunt.
Niassa Province in Mozambique
Besides big Leopards, Niassa is well known amongst international hunters for producing trophy Elephant, free-range Lions, which are exportable to the USA and plenty of big Cape Buffalo. Mozambique in fact has a population of Buffalo that exceeds 50000 offering an incredible variety of choice.
Crocodile and Hippo hunts are also conducted in Mozambique, but mostly take place on Lake Cahora Bassa which is situated towards the South West of Niassa, stretching more than 180 miles in length.
The Niassa Reserve is beautifully managed by having moderate quota allocations per species, age-appropriate harvesting and is well isolated from human activities. Niassa is in fact the largest conservation area in Mozambique, with a surface are of more than 26 000 square miles.
This incredible offering not only includes a trophy Leopard, but plains game hunting for both Sable and Niassa Wildebeest.
Niassa boasts healthy populations of Sable with game numbers estimated at over 12 000. On this concession, there will be plenty of trophy Sable available. Wildebeest hunting, for the popular and endemic Niassa Wildebeest will be an incredible experience included in this dangerous Leopard hunting safari.
Niassa, is a wild life paradise like nowhere else in Africa, similar to the Selous Reserve in Tanzania. Niassa shares the same ecosystem as the Selous Reserve, named after the famous big game hunter, Frederick C Selous. The Selous Reserve has recently been renamed and is called Nyerere National Park.
