TANZANIA remains the last true destination in the traditional sense. It is the destination of choice for big game hunting in Africa. With the work of tens years experience bearing fruit, Grand Safari now offer with confidence a chance to hunt all of the species endemic to Tanzania.
BUFFALO HUNTING in the SELOUS GAME RESERVE
We offer outstanding group rates on the basis of 2×1, 4×2 et 6×3.
The size of the group allows to share some of the expenses (charter flights, PH services). The following special rates are based on a 10 license option, either for a 7 day hunt or a 10 day hunt.
Two options:
- 7 day hunt for 1 buffalo + plains game
- 10 day hunt for 2 buffalo + plains game
The Selous Game Reserve probably has the biggest buffalo population in Africa. Since 1992, our main PH Peter Dafner has had an astonishing 100% success rate on Cape Buffalo: a very good reason to book your buffalo hunt with us. All other species on a 10 day license can be hunted.

Elephant Safari
ELEPHANT Safari, on a 14 to 18 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

21 day safari, for elephant or lion and leopard. This kind of safari is offered to hunters wanting to either take big cats (lion and leopard) or 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.
