The hunting areas

We hunt six areas across Mozambique, from the far north to the far south: Marrupa & Niassa, Manda & Lipilichi, Nhenda, Cahorra B, Delta and Gaza. Each is chosen for hunters after the country’s finest trophies.

In Niassa province, Northern Mozambique, Marrupa & Niassa and Manda & Lipilichi hold large herds of Cape Buffalo, Selous Zebra, Lichtenstein’s Hartebeest and Niassa Wildebeest. Lion and Leopard flourish here thanks to careful management, and our professional hunters and trackers know this country intimately.

Further west, Nhenda and Cahorra B take in the Lake Cahora Bassa country, known for Hippo, Crocodile and tiger fishing. The Delta area lies in the floodplains of the Zambezi Delta in central Mozambique, and Gaza, in Southern Mozambique, is home to our southern Elephant hunts.
