Africa is not one destination
Start with the country that matches the hunt you actually want.
Southern, East, Central and Horn of Africa are not one hunt. A Namibian farm week, a Zambezi Valley buffalo safari, an Ethiopian mountain-nyala hunt and a Cameroon forest bongo concession barely share a climate — let alone a species list, a price, or the paperwork that follows.
These country guides are written to help you pick the right map, not just a country name. Each page covers why hunters go there, what is genuinely different, the hunting regions and provinces that matter, the best season, and practical advice before you enquire. When you know the country — or even if you do not — submit a free enquiry and we will match you with verified outfitters.
Country Guides
Open a guide for regions, seasons and advice — or jump straight to outfitters in that country.
Angola
An emerging wilderness destination — buffalo, sable and elephant in vast, lightly hunted concessions of the south-east.
Botswana
Limited, tightly regulated hunting in community concessions — elephant country, Kalahari sand and Okavango fringe.
Cameroon
Two Africas in one country — northern savanna for Lord Derby eland and western buffalo, southern rainforest for bongo and forest specialists.
Ethiopia
The Horn of Africa’s highland special — mountain nyala and Menelik’s bushbuck in Afromontane forest, plus arid lowland gazelles and oryx.
Mozambique
Coutadas, the Zambeze Delta and Niassa woodland — buffalo, nyala, sable and classic south-east African safari hunting.
Namibia
Freehold farms, communal conservancies and the Namib escarpment — Africa’s most straightforward plains-game country.
South Africa
Nine provinces, from Kalahari sand to Eastern Cape thicket — the widest species list and the easiest safari logistics in Africa.
Tanzania
Classic East African safari hunting — Masailand, the Selous country and western miombo, on time-and-wilderness terms.
Uganda
East African hunting on a smaller map — Uganda kob, sitatunga and buffalo in Karamoja, lake country and the cattle corridor.
Zambia
Game Management Areas around Kafue, the Luangwa and the Bangweulu — walk-and-stalk hunting in classic central-African woodland.
Zimbabwe
Zambezi Valley, Lowveld conservancies and Matetsi — buffalo, elephant and leopard in some of Africa’s most storied blocks.
How to Choose a Country
A short way to narrow the map before you read a full guide.
First African hunt
Namibia (farms and Erongo) or South Africa’s Eastern Cape and Limpopo: easier logistics, malaria-free options, and outfitters used to first-time visitors.
Dangerous game
Zimbabwe’s Valley and Lowveld, Zambia’s GMAs, Mozambique coutadas, and Tanzania’s longer licences. Buffalo and cats need time in camp, not a five-day package.
Specialist species
Uganda kob and sitatunga, Zambia’s Bangweulu black lechwe, Masailand gazelles, Mozambique nyala, Namibian mountain zebra. Say the animal in the enquiry — the country follows.
Limited and remote
Botswana is quota-scarce community hunting. Angola is still pioneering. Both reward patience and punish last-minute plans.
