Tanzania / Kilimanjaro

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?

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.

It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

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.

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.
