How many countries can you hunt now in Africa?
RSA
Zimbabwe
Tanzania
Nambia

I not sure if there are any more, but thats not very many compared to what is on this contenient.

Zambia
Mozambique
Botswana
Cameroun
Burkina Faso
Ethiopia
Gabon
Uganda
Sudan

I'm sure I've missed some. Some are easier to hunt than others.

More countries that I have money for.

Harold,

I think 15.

Zimbabwe
Zambia
RSA
Botswana
Mozambique
Namibia
Cameroon
Tanzania
CAR
Ethiopia
Burkino Faso
Benin
Gabon
Uganda
Sudan

Mark

I would add the following:

Benin
Senegal
Congo-Brazzaville
Ghana
Central African Republic

It is dependent on what you define as "hunting". There are a few countries (Morocco comes to mind) that allow wing-shooting and driven boar hunts.

Not sure on the current status of Congo-Kinshasa (DRC) or Chad. I know that hunting was permitted in these countries in the not too distant past.

In addition, I recently saw an offer from a French outfitter who is guiding hunts in Gambia (Le Gambie). These are for Hippo, Croc, Hyena, etc. Not sure if these are legit so I'm not sure if this country qualifies.

FWIW, We cover the 12 most significant hunting countries in Africa on the site at www.shakariconnection.com which are:

Benin
Botswana
Burkino Faso
Cameroon
CAR
Ethiopia
Mozambique
Namibia
RSA
Tanzania
Zambia
Zimbabwe

With a bit of luck, we might have to add Uganda to the list soon and currently we also cover about 170 species in those countries.

+ Chad
Mali (small game)
Morocco
Tunisia

+Guinea

isn't there small game hunting in egypt?

Gambia
One or 2 Guineas among the 3 of them
Mauritania
Niger
Mali
Reunion Island
Madagascar
Mauritius

in fact it's easier to quote the ones where hunting is closed.

Birds in Kenya.

What can you hunt on Reunion Island?
Is there big game in the sahelcountries?

What species are available in Egypt?

I could be wrong but I think the price for 2009 in Egypt was $27,500.



Egypt Opens Hunting For Nubian Ibex and Barbary Sheep

Published: June - 2008

Hunt organizer Harv Hollek has successfully opened hunting in Egypt for Nubian ibex and Barbary sheep. Hollek, you'll recall has opened a number of exotic destinations to international hunters over the last few years, including Vietnam and Cambodia. Egypt had been closed to big game hunting for 40 years.
Hollek has been meeting with Egyptian wildlife officials for over a year now and called us last month after returning from Cairo with the good news. He says he will be offering hunts for Nubian ibex and Barbary sheep in an area near the Red Sea starting this coming October. The hunts will take place in the low mountains on foot or horseback. Guides are local Bedouins who know the area and the game movements. The terrain is not very steep, says Holleck, but hunters will need to be in good shape as there is a lot of walking and climbing in arid terrain will be involved. Expect 90 degree heat. Accommodations are a rustic tent camp. Hunters who wish to bathe in camp should bring their own sun shower.

As for trophy quality, Holleck says 35- to 40-inch ibex and 25- to 29-inch sheep are a reasonable expectation. Because there has been a lot of poaching over the years, he says hunters should not expect to take world record animals. The allure of this hunt is the ability to hunt a new destination for species that originated there. As for importing trophies into the US, Holleck says US Fish & Wildlife Service has given him the green light.

These hunts will run for 11 days with an additional night in Cairo on each end. The cost is $24,000 with hunting licenses. Clients take either a plane or train from Cairo to Edfu where they continue on to the hunting area. In-country........(continued)

Hi Caracal

In Reunion upland shooting, hares and rabbits are the only games.
High up in the mountains is Sika stag's hunting possible.

Sahel is another story. Many countries :
* le Sénégal,
* la Mauritanie,
* le Mali,
* le Burkina Faso,
* le Niger,
* le Nigeria du Nord,
* le Tchad,
* le Soudan,
* l'Éthiopie,
* l'Érythrée,
* Djibouti,
* la Somalie.
* l'Algérie

Not easy to know about a couple of countries
I am not aware of any hunting in Nigeria
Somalia is far too dangerous, Algeria and Erythrea also
Sudan is uncertain
Djibuti too small
In all other countries, wing and upland shooting along with hare shooting.

Mauritania : wart hog
Marocoo : wart hog (only with a shotgun)
Gambia :wart hog
Mali : wart hog and duiker
Niger : wart hog (though big game is present near the Burkina border).
Senegal, wart hog, duikers, buffalo, bushbuck, Buffon cob, Roan, Oribi, DERBY ELAND

Burkina : wart hog, duikers, oribi, buffon, redunca, bushbuck, buffalo, roan, hartebeest, hyena, lion

Tchad : technically all the antelopes (included Derby, kudu,) and cats, (same game as in CAR) in fact few hunters due to guerilla. The most searched game is the Aoudad......and poached elephants

It can be added that in Sahara (Algeria, Tunisia, Lybia, Niger) are organised falcon hunting hunts......but the hunters being quite undisturbed are prone to shoot Oryx, Damas gazelle and Aoudads.. One among the most known is Lybian Muamar Ghadafi.

Thank you. I am learning french at the moment and would love to to hunt in the french speaking part of africa next years.

Have you ever hunted one of these countries?
Are there outfitters or maybe the possibility to hunt without guide?

Chad must be wonderful country but it's a bit dangerous.
