Tanzania Hunting Concession: Selous Reserve

Hunt Tanzania in the world famous Selous Reserve for Leopard, one of Africa’s most sought-after and iconic dangerous game trophies.  This license also allows for Cape Buffalo to be added, along with an expansive list and variety of plains game antelope and specialty animals. Not many hunting safaris can compare to big game hunting in Tanzania, of that you can be certain.

Tanzania is considered by many big game hunters as the ultimate game hunting destination, not only due the variety of game on offer, but the historic safari hunting traditions which are followed in conducting African hunts.

A Tanzania hunting safari is often referred to as the “Sportsman’s Paradise”.  Tanzania, has a wide variety of absolute wilderness areas, boasting a variety of different eco-system which range from Masai Steppe in the Northeast, to Miombo forests and the Southwest. Spotting Leopard during the day is not uncommon in this area of Tanzania. Nowhere in Africa can the hunter ensure the basic pleasures of camp life and sport hunting under such favourable conditions.

The Selous Reserve has a reputation of producing world class cats and dangerous game trophies including Hippo hunting, Crocodile with vast herds of Buffalo spread over the horizon. On this hunting safari, the hunter will view hundreds of Buffalo daily and be spoilt with a variety of choice. It would be advisable to show some restraint when hunting Buffalo in Tanzania, there are plenty of Buffalo.

The Selous Reserve covers an area of more than 30 000 square miles of wild and rugged African wilderness, with hunting areas comprising of rocky Acacia-clad hills, forests, wooded grasslands, and swamps, perfect for dangerous game hunts.

Leopard Hunting Methods

A typical day on your Leopard hunt will begin with an early morning rise, before dawn followed by a filled five-star breakfast watching the rising sun break over the horizon.

After first light, you will depart looking for “fresh bait” to shoot and to see if any of the Leopard baits were “recently hit”. Your Tanzania outfitter will know the Leopard hunting grounds very well and will have favourite spots to hang baits.

Trail cameras will be made use of to spot potential trophy Leopards and thereafter blinds will be constructed using local materials, mainly grasses and brush.  Then, the long periods of waiting will begin. Leopard hunts in Tanzania are certainly not for the faint hearted.

Daylight hours will also be used to hunt plains game species on this license. Your professional hunter will be one of Africa’s most qualified dangerous game hunting specialists, and you can be sure that trackers will be some of the world’s best. Shot Placement when Leopard hunting in Tanzania is critical and the hunter needs to have a good understanding of the anatomy of these magnificent cats. Pound for pound, when wounded a Leopard is the most dangerous animal in the world.

Hunting Lodge in Tanzania 

Accommodations when Leopard hunting in Tanzania are either luxury first class tents or dwellings constructed from local materials such as thatching and grass, all with a beautiful and rustic theme. Provisions are comfortable mattresses, camp furnishings, water filters and HF and VHF radio communications. Wifi and daily laundry service is included, but like on any African hunt, taking along a satellite phone is never a bad idea. Leopard hunts in Tanzania are enjoyed in the untamed Selous Reserve. A Leopard hunt in Tanzania is not inexpensive, but is one of the worlds most desired big game hunting experiences.

Game Fishing Safaris, an extension to the Safari

Giles also offers Game Fishing Charters off the East Cost of Africa. If resources are not immediate concern, we suggest the hunting safari be extended to include angling for Marlin and a wide variety of deep-sea game fish aboard Virpra One, a Luhrs 342 Tournament.  Book your fishing adventure today.
