Lion and Leopard Hunting methods will involve pre-baiting for these cats in areas on the concession where they have been previously spotted. Trail cameras will be in the vicinity of these baits and once its seen that a suitable animal has come in on the bait, a temporary blind will be constricted for you to hunt from and then it’s a matter of patience and precision.
Buffalo: Walk and stalk is a traditional method of Cape Buffalo hunting. Tracking buffalo through the bush with trackers who use their knowledge of the buffalo’s behavior and the landscape to get you up close. Spotting and stalking close enough for a clean shot is crucial as the “widowmaker” is a tough and dangerous animal.
You will need to fly into Oliver Tambo International Airport, Johannesburg in South Africa. From Johannesburg, you will then travel to Phemba in Mozambique. Airlink is a reliable airline, clean, on time and with decent food and drinks. More importantly, Airlink has facilities for transporting of firearms, just advise reservations when booking your flight. There is a small additional cost for processing the firearm. The cost of a return flight OR Tamba/Pemba is on average US$ 450.
Depending on flights from OR Tamba to Phemba, you may need to overnight in Johannesburg. We would recommend African Sky Boutique Hotel, situated nearby the airport, who also can assist with firearm permits and supply transfers to and from the hotel to the airport.

You have a choice of a long road transfer to the hunting lodge from Phemba (11hr + drive) or a charter flight (to be arranged with your outfitter, Hardus) that will take you to the landing strip near the hunting concession.
The hunting areas are true “wild Africa” and road transport is not only long, but sometimes slow going and tedious. The Charter is US$ 5000 round trip (subject, like all things to change), but this can be less if there are any guests sharing.
Please note that the charter would need to be booked at least 2 months in advance and must be paid in cash on the day of your flight or pre-paid by wire transfer.
