DESCRIPTION:

This Mozambique outfitter has over 45 years of combined hunting experience behind them. They offer world-class camps and safaris, along with offering fair-chase hunts on some of the largest and best managed hunting concessions in Africa. They offer one of the largest selections of dangerous game as well as plains game hunting, and in their own words- "our success rate is not only determined by the quantity of trophies and the size of each, but also the ability to offer the African safari of a lifetime". They specialize in making every safari a unique and personalized one according to the specific needs and requirements of their clients. No request is impossible for them, and they are proud of their long list of return clientele that bares testimony to their success. If you are a species collector, big game hunter or taking the family on a hunting holiday, this outfitter can guarantee you the opportunity to hunt what you are after all the while having the adventure of a lifetime.

This opportunity offers an experience that is difficult to replicate! It’s not just a hunting destination but a journey into a largely untouched wilderness, with ethical and sustainable practices that support both wildlife and local communities. This mix of scale, authenticity, and conservation focus makes it unique among hunting reserves in Africa. This area stands out among other hunting destinations for a few key reasons that elevate its reputation as a prime hunting location. The sheer scale and exclusivity is hard to wrap your brain around. Few places in Africa match Niassa’s vast size and lack of human disturbance. This reserve’s massive area allows for lower hunting pressure, meaning hunters encounter wildlife that behaves more naturally compared to more frequently visited hunting reserves.

While some African reserves have suffered from habitat fragmentation and declining wildlife populations, Niassa’s ecosystems remain largely intact. Niassa is home to rare species like the Roosevelt sable, a subspecies found only in certain parts of Mozambique and Tanzania, giving hunters a unique opportunity to encounter wildlife that isn’t readily found elsewhere. As well as other species like the Lichtenstein Hartebeest and Sharpe's Grysbuck to name a few.

The reserve’s isolation contributes to an experience of deep immersion in nature, far removed from human development. Niassa lacks major infrastructure, offering a wilderness experience reminiscent of early African safaris. For hunters seeking an adventure in one of Africa’s last true wilderness areas, Niassa’s remoteness is unparalleled. The hunting programs in Niassa are also tightly regulated and structured around sustainable use and conservation. Revenues from hunting directly fund anti-poaching units and conservation projects, making the reserve a model for how hunting can support wildlife protection and benefit local communities.

Niassa’s varied landscapes—rivers, savannas, dense woodlands, and rocky outcrops—create a unique challenge for hunters, as tracking animals through these different environments requires a high level of skill and patience. This diverse terrain offers a dynamic, engaging hunt not always found in reserves with more uniform landscapes.

The local communities have strong ties to the land and play an active role in its conservation and management. Hunters in Niassa often find themselves interacting with these communities, gaining insights into the traditional and ecological importance of the area in a way that feels authentic and enriching.

They offer superior hunting ground, but also first class accommodation, some of the best professional hunters, a large fleet of vehicles and their own aircrafts. Furthermore, they partner with trusted and leading service providers in the industry to ensure a comfortable, hassle-free and memorable safari.

Their hunting season is from 15th May to 30th November. This area falls within the subtropical region of the country and receives on average 1000mm (40”) rain per year. The rainy season coincides with the heat and humidity from December through April. Winter, which is the dry season, stretches from May to mid-September and this is then also the coolest time to visit the country. Average day temperature ranges between 20°C and 30°C (68°F and 86°F).

Animals become more visible from May through to November as the bush dries out and they tend to congregate close to water sources. August, September and October are the best months to hunt for predators while November is very good for buffalo as it is the driest time of the year.

They are very specific with what they hunt, no buffalo or sable hunting is done in the herds, only lone bulls or groups of bulls are pursued. Sable bulls must show secondary growth of 1” at the base of the horn, which ensures that they are over 7 years of age. With regards to the hunting of leopard and lion, they adhere to a strict protocol which ensures that we hunt these animals sustainably. If you are after a daytime leopard, the best time to hunt them is before the end of August. Hunting is allowed at night, with artificial light, but only for lion, leopard, crocodile and bush-pig. Hunting of female, young and/or immature animals is prohibited.
