Looking for an area to hunt (or just animal sight seeing) that has a classic view of Kilimanjaro. Any place fit the bill in Tanzania? Planning a family vacation thru Africa and Europe in 2012 (regular sighting seeing and African hunting) and initially considered only Namibia (never been there - thinking of Gras Ranch) and Eastern Cape/Stormberg (been there), but also thought some of the classic safari areas in East Africa would be neat, even if we don't hunt there. Ideas/recommendations? "Evil is powerless if the good are unafraid" -- Ronald Reagan "Ignorance of The People gives strength to totalitarians." Want to make just about anything work better? Keep the government as far away from it as possible, then step back and behold the wonderment and goodness. | ||

If you're considering taking a family to Namibia, you might want to look into Shona Hunting Adventures (http://shonaadventures.blogspot.com/). I hunted with Johann last year and I'm looking at taking my family (wife and two daughters now 10 and 12) back next year. | |||

I had 2 couples a few years ago that combined hunting with site seeing. They hunted with us in RSA then went onto Zanzibar for a few days; did some saltwater fishing, relaxing on the beach. Then inland, took the hot air balloon over the Serengeti along with game drives etc. It's a simple matter of organizing your itinerary. Drop me a line if that sounds interesting.

I think the sight seeing will be MUCH cheaper, but if you're set on hunting Danny McCallum has a concession just south of Kilimanjaro sandwiched between it and Arusha. I believe they only hunt plains game there though. Brett DRSS Life Member SCI Life Member NRA Life Member WSF Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick. And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too. May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep. May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip. -Seth Peterson | |||

I hunted NE of the Tarangire NP and had Kilimanjaro in the background on clear days. Several operators are in that area, and nature watchers go to that NP. Jack Hood DRSS | |||

On a clear day you can see it from Monduli, one of TGT's concessions. On our last day hunting hunting in that area, we went up to a hill behind our camp at sunrise for breakfast so we could see Kilimajoro early that morning. Unfortunately it was a hazy day and we couldn't see it, but it was still a cool way to start the day.  | |||

Brett is correct, Danny is an acquaintance of mine, and he has a wonderful area that fits the bill, but plains game only. Gerenuk, lesser Kudu, Oryx, grant's tommy's, etc. TGT does too, and I think Brittingham's area as well. | |||

Thanks! Inquiries sent to TGT and Danny. Both look wonderful! "Evil is powerless if the good are unafraid" -- Ronald Reagan "Ignorance of The People gives strength to totalitarians."

I spent 19 days in the same concession and never once saw the mountain. That was late July and early August, 2009. | |||

Longido is the best for this - and wonderful hunting for PG - lesser kudu, gerenuk, grants and thompsons gazelles, fringe eared oryx, dikdik, wildebeest, zebra, impala, leopard etc. There are some buffalo on the mountain if you're tough enough. | |||
