Hunting in Tanzania
Epic Big Game & Plains Game Variety
Tanzania is a dramatic safari country at its finest: remote wilderness, giant trophies, and the classic Big Game experience. From stalking Cape buffalo in the Selous and Rungwa reserves to seeking leopard and elephant in secluded hunting blocks, each day delivers true adventure with superb hunting quality. Complementing the dangerous game, Tanzania offers one of Africa’s richest plains game lineups – from sable and roan antelope to oribi, waterbuck, hartebeest, and zebra.
Hunts are guided by professional PHs across extensive, unfenced concessions dedicated to fair chase and trophy quality. Burns culminating in evenings under star-lit skies at comfortable camps make Tanzania a safari that blends excitement with deep authenticity.
