As experience shows, 12 days are enough to have success with a big leopard. You only pay for 12 days of camp and outfitting. Leopards are plentiful and are easy to bait. All other species on a 21 day license can be hunted except for 2^nd and 3^rd buffaloes, elephant and lion.

Elephant Safari

ELEPHANT Safari, on a 14 day hunt. This kind of safari is offered to hunters wanting to take a great tusker. Trophy size limits for elephant are in place in Tanzania, so ivory has to weight at least 35 lbs or measure 65 inches per tusk. The elephant population is large in the Selous, but old bulls are always a challenge to find. Great distances must often be covered to get them. Tracking a big tusker is not very strenuous due to the flat landscape, expect however long walks to catch up with him. All other species on a 21 day license can be hunted except for 2^nd & 3^rd buffaloes, lion & leopard.

Classic Safaris

21 day safari

For elephant, lion, leopard, buffaloes and plains game. This kind of safari is offered to hunters wanting to take big cats (lion and leopard) and a great tusker. Trophy size limits for elephant are in place in Tanzania, so ivory has to weight at least 35 lbs or measure 65 inches per tusk. The elephant population is large in the Selous, but old bulls are always a challenge to find. Great distances must often be covered to get them. Tracking a big tusker is not very strenuous due to the flat landscape, expect however long walks to catch up with him. Hunters will make the choice between elephant or lion, and leopard. All other species on a 21 day license can be hunted.

28 day safari

It’s a classic East-African safari to hunt the big four, elephant, buffalo, lion and leopard. Just the way Ruark liked to do it. We offer this kind of safari for the experienced hunter who intends to take a wide range of game in the Selous Game Reserve. This extended duration is very important to maximize your chance to harvest big trophies. Hunting on foot takes time. Some stalks take only a few hundreds yards, some others take hours, especially on buffalo and elephant. Be prepared.

Observers

Observers can experience the thrill of the hunt from the comfort of our 4×4. They can share in the anticipation, the frustrations and the victories toasted at the end of each hunting day.
Observers often enjoy bringing a video camera to record the hunt.

South Africa is well known as a nature lovers’ paradise, beautiful scenery and a large variety of fauna and flora will keep you busy while the hunt is on. As South Africa is considered to be “the world in one country” there are many things to do and see. Be sure to inquire about the many excursions that are available in your choice of hunting area. Arrangements can be made to spend time in some of South Africa’s major game parks like the “Kruger National Park” or the “Hluhluwe Umfolozi Game Reserve” or in any other South African private game reserves should you be interested. Hunting season all year round.

Tanzania This is possibly the ultimate hunting experience today in Africa. It is also a great place for touring with lots of excursions available, ranging from a photographic safari in the Ngorongoro crater to visiting the well-known Zanzibar Island.
