Hunting takes place in all the major regions of Tanzania, including Western Tanzania, the Selous and Masailand, depending on the species required by the client. We hunt all the species available in Tanzania.
All hunting is done in large government hunting concessions. Clients are accommodated in serviced luxury tented camps that provide all meals and a laundry service.

Tanzania’s climate is generally sunny and pleasant. Winters are cool to mild. October to December can be warm, but is generally not too bad as it is the build-up to the rainy season and most days will have good cloud cover.
