Mozambique offers a great selection of big game trophies, including the Big Five and huge Sable. The stunning landscapes take your breath away, as you follow your dream trophy in the true African wilderness. The abundance of game, vast free-range concessions and a wide variety of lodges to suit any taste make a trip to Mozambique an unforgettable hunting experience.
The hunting season in Mozambique is open from May through November.
Most of the international flights arrive in Mozambique from South Africa. The transfer to the hunting area is on a vehicle or by a charter flight. The length of the hunt depends on the trophies chosen.
Most often, it is a classical spot-and-stalk safari. The hunters drive around the hunting grounds on a 4x4 vehicle and then track the trophy animal on foot. The hunt in Mozambique starts around half an hour after the sunrise and lasts the whole day long, until about half an hour after the sunset. The blue duiker is hunted with a caller.
Accommodation depends on the chosen hunting area. Mozambique has both the traditional east African tented camps, and the comfortable hunting lodges with en-suite bungalows. As a rule, there is a separate dining area and campfire. Laundry service is provided.

An epic safari can easily be combined with a first class deep sea fishing for black marlin, tuna, dorado, wahoo and kingfish.
“If there is a sacred moment in the ethical pursuit of game, it is the moment you release the arrow or touch off the fatal shot.”
