Tanzania is one of Africa’s best destinations for both plains game and dangerous game hunting.
Hunters can legally pursue lion, leopard, elephant, and Cape buffalo during a Tanzania hunting safari (rhino is strictly protected).
Hunting licenses include 10-day, 16-day, and 21-day options depending on species targeted.
Minimum safari length: 7 days (Allows up to two Cape buffalo + plains game)
A separate Dangerous Game permit is required when hunting Tanzania’s Big 5 species.
While Tanzania is not the cheapest hunting destination, it offers unmatched trophy quality and true wilderness hunting experiences.
Tanzania hunting safari prices vary by concession, species, and safari duration (details below).
Tanzania is considered one of the top safari hunting destinations in the world due to its vast, unfenced landscapes and healthy wildlife populations. From the world-famous Serengeti to the Selous (now Nyerere National Park), Tanzania offers:
Welcome to Tanzania Hunting Safari, your trusted source for professionally guided, fully legal, and ethically managed Tanzania hunting safaris.

If you are searching for a reliable provider of Tanzania hunting safari experiences, expert planning, transparent pricing, and compliance with government regulations, you are in the right place.
Our Tanzania hunting safaris contribute directly to conservation and local community development, ensuring a sustainable future for wildlife while delivering unforgettable experiences to international hunters.
Tanzania has long been considered the crown jewel of African safari hunting, attracting hunters from around the world since Theodore Roosevelt’s legendary 1909 expedition. Today, it remains one of the most iconic destinations for Tanzania plains game hunts, offering unmatched wildlife numbers, vast free-range concessions, and over 50 huntable plains game species. No other country in Africa offers the same combination of wild, untouched landscapes and exceptional trophy quality—making hunting in Tanzania a lifelong dream for many.
Tanzania sits on the eastern coastline of Africa, bordered by Kenya and Uganda to the north; Rwanda, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of Congo to the west; Zambia and Malawi to the southwest; and Mozambique to the south. Its Indian Ocean coastline and diverse terrain support a wildlife population and biodiversity unmatched anywhere else on the continent.
Tanzania has three primary hunting regions, each offering a unique hunting experience:
Known for its open plains, Maasai culture, and distinct species such as gerenuk, fringe-eared oryx, and Patterson’s eland.
Named after the legendary hunter Frederick Selous, this 19,000-square-mile wilderness is the largest game reserve in Africa. Known for huge buffalo herds, exceptional plains game, and world-class dangerous game.
Remote, rugged, and home to rare species like Roosevelt sable, puku, and Lichtenstein hartebeest. These regions also hold strong buffalo and plains game numbers.
Across these regions lie more than 150 free-range hunting concessions, some exceeding two million acres. All hunting areas in Tanzania are wild—no high fences, no artificial game management—just authentic, true African bush.
Dry Season (June – October)
Best period for spotting and trophy quality. Temperatures: 13°C – 25°C
Short Dry Season (January – February)
Fewer hunters and good game viewing. Temperatures: 25°C – 35°C
Rainy Seasons (March–May & Nov–Dec)
Not ideal due to muddy terrain and limited access.
Most camps in Tanzania are luxury tented setups, built before the season and removed after it ends. Camps include ensuite safari tents, dining tents, chefs, trackers, skinners, and all staff needed for a professional safari experience.
Selous, western, and central Tanzania concessions are fly-in camps, typically requiring a 1–3 hour charter from Dar es Salaam.
The Tanzania hunting season runs July 1 to December 31.
Hunting in Tanzania is strictly regulated to promote sustainable wildlife management, conservation, and ethical hunting practices. All hunting activities must comply with the applicable requirements of the Tanzania Wildlife Management Authority (TAWA) and other relevant authorities.
Regulations, license categories, quotas, seasons, firearm requirements and government fees may change. The regulations applicable at the time of booking and hunting will prevail. Final hunting arrangements should therefore be confirmed with the licensed outfitter and the relevant Tanzanian authorities before the safari.
Tanzania offers different hunting license categories based on the duration of the safari. The species and number of animals available to a hunter depend on the license category, hunting area, applicable quota, season, and current wildlife regulations. In Tanzania the availability of species depends on the duration of the hunt. There are 7-10 day, 16 day and 21 day safari packages which allow for different species combinations.
The table below provides an indicative species allowance by safari duration. Final species selection and quotas must be confirmed before booking.

Key notes:
For your Tanzania Trophy Hunting Safari, we strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel and hunting insurance before departure.
Because hunting takes place in remote wilderness areas, your insurance should provide adequate protection for medical emergencies, evacuation, personal belongings, accidental injury and cancellation of your safari.
1. Accidental Death & Permanent Disability
Coverage for accidental death, permanent disability or serious injury resulting from an insured accident during the trip.
2. Emergency Medical & Major Medical Expenses
Coverage for emergency treatment, hospitalization, doctors, medication and other medically necessary expenses while travelling in Tanzania.
3. Emergency Medical Evacuation & Repatriation
This is particularly important for a remote hunting safari. The policy should cover emergency evacuation from the hunting area to an appropriate medical facility and, when medically necessary, repatriation to your home country. Remote Tanzania locations can require expensive air evacuation, so check the policy limit carefully.
4. Loss, Theft or Damage of Personal Effects
Coverage for luggage, clothing, personal equipment and other belongings that are lost, stolen or damaged during the journey.
Hunters should also check whether the policy provides appropriate coverage for rifles, ammunition, hunting equipment, cameras and other high-value equipment, as standard baggage limits may be insufficient.
5. Trip Cancellation & Trip Interruption
Coverage for eligible cancellation or interruption costs if you are unable to travel or must terminate your safari early because of a covered event, such as serious illness, injury or certain family emergencies.
When selecting a policy, make sure the cancellation limit is sufficient to cover the non-refundable portion of your hunting safari, flights and other prepaid travel arrangements.
Before purchasing insurance, we recommend confirming in writing with the insurance company that the policy covers:
Do not assume that a standard travel insurance policy automatically covers hunting.
Some policies exclude adventure activities or specific sporting activities, so hunters should disclose the nature of the trip and obtain confirmation that the planned hunting activities are covered.
Please confirm that your policy provides:
Accidental Death & Permanent Disability
Major Medical Expenses
Emergency Medical Evacuation
Air Ambulance / Remote Area Evacuation
Medical Repatriation
Trip Cancellation
Trip Interruption
Loss, Theft & Damage of Personal Effects
Hunting Activity Coverage
Firearm/Hunting Equipment Coverage, if applicable
Coverage for Tanzania
24-hour emergency assistance
The insurance policy should be purchased before travelling to Tanzania. Keep your insurance policy number, emergency telephone number and assistance details with you throughout the safari.
Insurance requirements and exclusions vary by country and insurer. Always read the full policy wording and confirm coverage directly with your insurer before purchasing.
Insurance is not included in the hunting safari package price unless specifically stated in your quotation.
