Just wondering who the successful bidders are?

Is there a possibility that some animal rights organization is in the mix?


Which concession would you be referring to as I have the list in front of me. Wink

No animal rights organizations involved at all, just hunting-orientated financial backers with deep pockets supporting the outfitters, so to blame the TZ govt. for for the end result is rather harsh because the aim of any auction is to obtain the best value.

My concern is the only way to make these blocks profitable at these prices is to shoot the crap out of them. That's not conservation. It's not good for hunting. And ultimately, it's not good for Tanzania.

Indeed, its called "hit & run", at the expense of the wildlife and more ammunition for the animal rights activists.

Concessions were overbid and many outfitters never paid their bid. Concessions were turned back into the government.


The winning bidder has to pay within 14 days and failure will foresee the block being offered to the next highest.


Thanks for the clarification. Glad the government corrected the prior bidding glitch.

There is a lot more fixed cost to amortize over a 4.5-5.5 month hunting season.

A lot of names on the final list are not recognizable in terms of names that most people might recognize.

Local hunters unhappy with the new wildlife hunting bill

THURSDAY FEBRUARY 03 2022

Hunter
Summary
Criticisms against the bill follows recent complaints by the same group over not being allocated hunting blocks with sufficient numbers of animals.

Arusha. Local hunters have once again criticized a new legislation on wildlife hunting.

They claim that the recently passed Bill on hunting could be another ploy to push them out of business.

Mr Saidi Mzee, the secretary of Tanzania Local Hunters Association (TLHA), said they had reservations on the Bill.

“It is bent on removing us from hunting,” he told The Citizen, calling for swift intervention of higher authorities.

He said efforts to reach out the relevant authorities to have their grievances heard and acted upon have been futile.

That is despite a series of meetings convened by the Tanzania Wildlife Management Authority (Tawa) for the hunting companies and other stakeholders.


Also involved is the Wildlife Division in the Natural Resources and Tourism, another government arm overseeing wildlife hunting.

Criticisms against the bill follows recent complaints by the same group over not being allocated hunting blocks with sufficient numbers of animals.

The 45-member TLHA alleges this was a systematic way to push them out of the hunting business in favour of tourist hunters from abroad.

However, lately the body has claimed that most critical in their grievances are not confined to the hunting licenses.

Mr Mzee said the critical point on their grievances was the recently passed “draconian bill” which threatens to edge them out of hunting business.

“The premise of our cry is on the new bill, not licenses”, he affirmed, calling for the intervention of President Samia Suluhu Hassan on the issue.

“Our salvation is in Mama Samia,” hinted the chairperson of the association, Mr Ali Jumbe, in an interview.

He alleged that the Wildlife Conservation (Resident Hunting) Regulations, 2020 were not friendly to the indigenous players in the industry.

TLHA, a legal entity registered since 2011, is one of the hunting groups whose members are licensed to hunt for game meat, trophy and

Thanks for posting that information, Saeed.

I would be interested to know how these prices compare with prices achieved for each of these areas in the previous tender.

Were their any major losses of concessions from previously established safari operators? Changes in concessions? Unknown new safari operators taking over prime areas?
4WD


Did all these areas get finalized as shown? Or are some of them still up in the air?



No, there were some disputes and issues. For example, Trophy Belt was declared ineligible, so all the blocks are going back on the next auction this month.

I find it interesting that Ilaroi Ranching has gotten some prime concessions. From what I’ve found in a web search, they seem to only offer photo safaris. Are they branching into hunting, or am I missing something?

The Tanzania Wildlife Management Authority (Tawa) announced last month that it will sell 75 hunting blocks within Game Reserves (GRs), Game Controlled Areas (GCAs) and Open Areas (OAs)

If, as the advert reads, ILaroi Ranching should not be permitted to conduct photographic safaris as alleged.

In any case, I don't see how it would be economically viable to do so if one considers the cost of investment (annual) versus returns from a photographic venture.

Fulvio, I’ve been told privately that Ilaroi is owned by one of the long established hunting operators, so all good.

Indeed, I too know who it is. Wink

Fact still remains that the advertised areas put up for auction are established hunting blocks to be sold to the highest bidder for, I must assume, hunting safaris and should remain as categorized.

If they were earmarked for activities other than hunting,it would have been reasonable to de-classify these hunting areas to photographic safari status or would that sound unreasonable?

All in all, good for him to have been able to pull it off as after a period of lying fallow, he will still have the opportunity of returning the area to its original status.
