Nine African countries, each a different hunt. Compare regions, seasons and style — then open a country guide or enquire.

Africa is not one destination

Start with the country that matches the hunt you actually want.

Southern and East Africa are not one hunt. A Namibian farm week, a Zambezi Valley buffalo safari and a Botswana elephant concession barely share a climate — let alone a species list, a price, or the paperwork that follows.

These country guides are written to help you pick the right map, not just a country name. Each page covers why hunters go there, what is genuinely different, the hunting regions and provinces that matter, the best season, and practical advice before you enquire. When you know the country — or even if you do not — submit a free enquiry and we will match you with verified outfitters.

Open dry grassland under a blue sky, typical of southern African hunting country

Angola

Emerging south-east wilderness. Buffalo and sable in large, lightly hunted concessions — a pioneering hunt, not a first African safari.

Botswana

Tightly regulated community concessions: elephant country, Kalahari sand and Okavango fringe. Limited permits, book well ahead.

Namibia

Freehold farms, communal conservancies and the Namib escarpment. Africa’s most straightforward plains-game country — and Zambezi buffalo in the north-east.

South Africa

Nine provinces, from Kalahari sand to Eastern Cape thicket. The widest species list and the easiest safari logistics on the continent.

Tanzania

Classic East African safari hunting: Masailand, Selous/Nyerere country and western miombo. Time, walking and wilderness over short ranch packages.

Uganda

A specialist destination for Uganda kob, sitatunga and Karamoja buffalo. Shorter hunts than Tanzania, with species you cannot tick further south.

How to Choose a Country

A short way to narrow the map before you read a full guide.

First African hunt

Namibia (farms and Erongo) or South Africa’s Eastern Cape and Limpopo: easier logistics, malaria-free options, and outfitters used to first-time visitors.

Dangerous game

Zimbabwe’s Valley and Lowveld, Zambia’s GMAs, Mozambique coutadas, and Tanzania’s longer licences. Buffalo and cats need time in camp, not a five-day package.

Specialist species

Uganda kob and sitatunga, Zambia’s Bangweulu black lechwe, Masailand gazelles, Mozambique nyala, Namibian mountain zebra. Say the animal in the enquiry — the country follows.

Limited and remote

Botswana is quota-scarce community hunting. Angola is still pioneering. Both reward patience and punish last-minute plans.

Planning a Destination

You do not have to pick an outfitter — or even a country — before you enquire.

Start with the hunt, not the passport stamp: first safari, buffalo, a specialist antelope, or a wilderness concession. The cards and country guides above are written for that choice. If you are still unsure, say so in an enquiry.

No. Submit an enquiry with country (or leave it open), species, dates and budget. We match verified outfitters. You can still open a country page and enquire toward a specific operator.

Sometimes — Namibia with southern Angola, or South Africa with a Mozambique add-on — but each country has its own rifle import and trophy export. Treat them as two hunts that share a flight, not one booking.

Hunting is legal in each of these countries under national rules, but access, quota and species change by concession and year. The country guide is the briefing; your outfitter confirms what is actually on licence for your dates.
