1. What are the license costs for 10, 21, and 28 days licenses in Tanzania?

Daily rates
Talking 1 X 1 Prices will vary throughout the country higher and lower.
10 day about 19,000 to 29,000 observer 5,500 to 8,000
16 day about 41,000 to 58,000 observer 8,800 to 12,000
21 day about 58,000 to 70,000 observer 11,500 to 15,000
28 day about 75,000 to 92,000 observer 15,000 to 20,000
I do not want to dig out my paperwork to look up all the other items...


2. What are the daily fees paid to the government for anti-poaching, conservation, community development, gun import, ammo import, and any other relevant licenses or fees a hunter would pay to hunt in Tanzania.

Firearm import fee - $200 per rifle up to 3 rifles included ammo for rifle
Game scout-anti poaching - $150 per day per person
Visa -
Air Charter or vehicle charge (drive to camp)

3. Daily rates charged by the various outfitters for hunting FULL BAG safaris.

Trophy fees are on top of the Daily fees. The concessions charges for trophy animals can be different between different companies. example one concession will charge 2,500 for a cape Buffalo and another will charge 3,000

And from the above mentioned costs, it would seem that any hunter taking a 21 day safari in Tanzania, with both lion and leopard on is wish list, in addition to all the other animals, then he is certainly looking at well over $100,000.

Anyway, whichever way we look at it, I think it goes without saying that Zimbabwe is a lot cheaper than Tanzania, regardless of the cost of charters.

Agree with you Saeed with the proviso that that would be the price with one f the "good" operators. But what would that same cost be if you were only interested in 3 buff, some plains game and 1 ele as Larry hunted? If we want to compare apples to apples, then we would need to know number of hunting days, quality of camp (I'm assuming the Save offers top-notch camps)charters or road transfers, whether the ele's were non-trophy bulls or cows, trophy bulls, tuskless, pac, etc. The same with the buff and what kind of pgs are we talking about?

I am NOT disputing that TZ costs more than Zim to hunt in but I think that one can get a limited bag safari in TZ for close to $80k, TF included.

That said, I do agree totally that on average, TZ is a more expensive hunting destination than Zimbabwe. What I am trying to defend is the notion that TZ outfitter's are charging "extra" to make enormous profits and not because the operating environment and investment models dictate it.

Saeed,

I have only made three trips to Africa, one to Zim, and two to RSA; but in six annual visits to SCI I have never talked to a PH or hunting company that included anything other than three hots and a cot for the daily rate price of a hunt.

Everything is on a menu that I have seen.

Enlighten me...

1- Tz does not have 28 day packages. The current license are 10, 16 and 21 days and cost $950, $1250, $1250 respectively. From 2013 they will have 7 day, 14 and 21 day packages (Subject to review) with the following respective costs $1250, $1100 and $1000.

2- Additional Gov Fees are: $150 per day per hunter Conservation fees, $100 per day per observer Conservation fee, $400 Trophy handling fee for 10 day package and $500 Trophy handling for all other packages. The firearm import costs $120 per rifle. Ammo is taxed at $0.25 per round of any caliber.

In addition, every operator has to contribute $5000 per block to the Government for Community Development. A responsible operator will collect and contribute far more than that to maintain good relations with the communities.

A block fee is $27000 per year. From 2013 these will vary according to block category with the highest block demanding $60k. Others are between $5k to $30k.

The above are Nett Government charges.

There has been a jumber of hunts offered here in the past in Tanzania, which did not make much sense to me in the way teh quota was split between two hunters.
