Masai area (near Kilimanjaro International Airport)

The Masai area extends to the border of Kenya in the north of Tanzania. It is famous for its wonderful landscape and variety of game. Hunters can enjoy an amazing countryside. In the north, there are wide open grass prairies that change into dry acacia landscape. One can find big herds of Thompson and Grant gazelle here. This is a great habitat for gerenuk, wildebeest, and also lesser kudu, fringed-ear oryx, buffalo, and leopard. 
 


Our camp can fulfill any request. Be aware that this is a classic tent safari like 100 years ago. The accommodation consists of large wall tents like Ruark or Hemingway used. All tents are equipped with beds, linens, bedside table, hallstand and bathroom. Coolers, short wave radio and a 4x4 vehicle in top condition complete the camp equipment. A voltage converter delivers 220 V. Adapters for 110 V for recharging your camera are available in camp. The camp staff is made up of 10 to 15 people. This team is on duty 24 hours a day to make your stay with us as smooth as possible. Here are some pictures of the camp equipment (dining room, kitchen, and pantry).

 

Selous Game Reserve (near Dar es Salaam International Airport)

The Selous (pronounced “sell Lou”) is named after big game hunter Frederick Courtney Selous, and offers the largest hunting area in Tanzania. Together with the famous Serengeti, it is known as the biggest conservation area in Tanzania. The Selous offers the real Africa for the dedicated big game hunter. The Selous is completely unpopulated. This area is about 21,000 square miles. Nowhere else on Earth can you find more big game.
Due to the low altitude (1000 to 2000 feet above sea level) and the proximity to the Indian Ocean, humidity here is higher than in the Masai area. You will feel the heat. Daytime temperatures in July and August range from 77° F to 86° F. Night time temperatures range from 64° F to 72° F. Later in the season, October and November, daytime temperature reaches 86° F to 95° F and night time temperature 72° F to 82° F. 

We have been hunting in Tanzania since 1992 and have a 100% success rate with buffalo.  There's no other area where you can see so many buffalo. You can hunt for this dangerous game without pressure.

 


Le Selous à une très importante population de buffle Caffer et il n’existe pas d’équivalent ailleurs pour le chasser dans d’aussi bonnes conditions. Notre responsable locale et guide principale Peter Dafner chasse en Tanzanie depuis 1992 et détient le remarquable record de 100% de réussite sur le buffle. Une autre excellente raison de réserver votre prochaine grande chasse au buffle avec Grand Safari.
