We have been getting more and more questions by our return clients about hunting Buffalo
and other species in other parts of Africa. Because we want to be part of your
adventure we ventured deeper into Africa to give you the opportunity to
hunt in this very unique area.
The hunting we offer will take place in Mozambique. We will hunt 2 concessions bordering
the Zambezi River in the north and the Buffalo Reserve in the East.
This 500 square mile area is operated by one of Mozambique’s long time reputable
outfitters that we working with to make this new adventure possible. Sun Africa Safaris
is very fortunate to have the opportunity to hunt this area.

Hunting season runs from the 1 June to the 30 November.
The concession areas are both unique areas bordering one another. Their habitat varies
from sand forests, savannah, flood plains and swamps giving the hunter a combination of
habitats that hold a variety of species.
It is one of the few areas where one has the opportunity of a true classical safari
hunting Buffalo, Hippo, Elephant, Crocodile, Leopard and plains game on one safari.
The weather in Mozambique is generally warm and you can expect rain throughout the year.
Average temperatures range from 65f - 95f, with some days reaching over 100f from October – January.
There are three camps within the two concessions. Accommodations vary from comfortable East
African style tented camps to an Old Portuguese hunter's camp that has recently been revamped.
All rooms enjoy en-suite bathrooms with hot and cold running water. Both camps run generators and
solar plants generating 220v electricity.
Hunts vary in length with a minimum of 7 -10 days, with the recommended being 10 days.
All special package hunts are done in groups, a minimum of 3 hunters per group and a maximum of 6 in both areas.
Please be reminded that the minimum caliber requirement for dangerous game in Mozambique is the .375.

Check with your PH what the norm is on tipping and at all times keep in mind a tip
