Mozambique – untrammeled Africa

SafariBwana offers trophy hunting based on sound ethical principles in the field while pursuing the many indigenous

species Mozambique has to offer. Our goal is to provide a hunting experience which is a challenge of skill, energy

and perseverance; the reward of a trophy being the conclusion to a successful hunt and not the only measure. Our

business is based upon family tradition and knowledge, bringing you a safari that is not only true to African ways but

also considers the natural balance of our concessions and their relation to the local communities.

NiassaLand Safaris LDA is the Mozambique subsidiary of SafariBwana, a newly established safari operator with

diverse strengths, able to cater not only to the serious hunter but also to his family and the adventure seeker who

wants to experience Mozambique in its entirety. Not only do we offer classical hunting but we strive to combine this

with the best of the country's sights, beaches, big game fishing, culture and history.

Mozambique is the classic Africa of old, vast concessions in extreme conditions – remote and untouched – with

dangerous game trophies which are nothing short of spectacular. Despite a rough start to the Safari industry in this

country, reliable and trusted operators are now gaining a foothold and we are pleased to offer this piece of old Africa

to our clients without reserve or hesitation.

We invite you to join our safari family on the adventure of a lifetime to one of Africa’s undiscovered hunting

destinations – Mozambique

NiassaLand Safaris Hunting Reserve - Mozambique

We are extremely pleased to announce the newest addition to our hunting portfolio in Mozambique, a 160,000 acre

hunting reserve, in the heart of big game country in the north western part of the country. Lying in the foothills of

the Luangwa and Zambezi valleys, this area consists of Miombo forests interspersed with Mopani woodland and

open grasslands which support a healthy family of big game species. These include the big boys – Lion, Elephant,

Leopard and Buffalo as well as Roan, Sable, Kudu, Eland, Lichtensteins Hartebeest, common Waterbuck, chobe

Bushbuck, Impala, Reedbuck, common and red duiker, Bushpig, Warthog, Hippo, Crocodile and Hyena.


Taken from the latest issue of The Hunting Report – December 2011

Over in Mozambique, subscriber Mike Daley took a gorgeous MGM-quality lion with a 25-inch skull while

hunting with Pete Swanepoel. You may know Swanepoel from his SafariBwana operation in Zambia. Seems

Swanepoel has partnered with Graham Cawood to create a new Mozambique operation called NiassaLand Safaris.

They are hunting near Chifundi, about a 3½-hour drive out of Tete. Daley writes of the area, “We found some great

potential for big game there. The area is big with a government concession connecting to it. We were on an

exploratory hunt and got to see lots of new territory and have a true African experience. We saw 60- to 80-pound

elephant, big leopard, excellent plains game and plenty of sign from another big lion in the area. We had lions near

camp at night, along with leopards and elephant. Twenty-one elephants walked past us while we sat in the lion blind.

“We were building roads while exploring and found a great area along the river, where we saw lots of different game,

including hartebeest, bushbuck, impala and enough roan, kudu and klipspringer to make one drool! We also spotted

Sharpe’s grysbok in broad daylight and warthogs. There was sign of sable and buffalo, although we did not spot any.

And there were lots of crocodiles in the river.” Daley says there is some poaching in the area and that Swanepoel and

Cawood are working with the local game scouts and villages to get it under control. “I had a great time, and know, as

they continue to develop this area, it is only going to get better,” concludes Daley. In addition to the lion, Daley also

took a steenbok, hyena, 54-inch kudu, a warthog and a Sharpe’s grysbok. He says they also had a leopard on bait but

were unable to connect with him.

About our trophy selection process

We are committed to the long term conservation of the hunting reserve and carefully select only mature males for hunting – no females or immature animals may be taken regardless of the situation.

Lion trophies are restricted to males of 6 years or older and the decision and call on this is at the sole discretion of your professional hunter. Their decision must be accepted and adhered to and there will be no refunds of any safari fees relating to this decision.

Any mature male lion found to be with females who are lactating, have cubs or appear to be pregnant WILL NOT be allowed to be taken – there are no arguments on this issue!

Elephant ivory from Mozambique is NOT ALLOWED to be imported into the United States and certain other countries at present – inquire with us before you book your hunt


permits & documentation cites permit application If you are hunting Leopard it is imperative to obtain a CITES 1 permit allowing you to you hunt and import the

trophy back into your home country – before you arrive in Mozambique. Lion are on CITES II which only requires

import ivory from Mozambique (enquire with us before your trip).
