Folks,

I have one week remaining in my early season in the Selous Reserve, and I don't want to spend it sitting around on my ass. So if anyone can make 8-15 July, I can offer the following for a 2x1 or 4x2 hunt:

including
all charters into & out of the area
hunting vehicle
all (white) PH and local hunter services
Trophy fee & community development fee on 1 Buffalo per hunter
all dip, pack and delivery of trophies to Dar es Salaam
all camp fees & conservation fees
rifle import for 1 rifle per hunter
camp exclusivity

all for US$8500 per hunter

Each client gets a comprehensive safari contract, our full safari planning service & itinerary and a safari pack. We have 100% success for Buffalo here throughout the season.

The ONLY exclusions are additional trophy fees, hotel accommodation before or after the hunt, alcohol & tips.

Please e-mail me for further details.

Shakari,
This sounds like a pretty good deal. I should be leaving for the Eastern Cape South Africa with my friend tomorrow evening but work got in the way. This is probably too soon for me. What block are you hunting in the Selous? I hunted K3 last July 1-7 with Rolf Rohwer.

hi Jim,

Sorry to hear you had to cancel your hunt.

We hunt 2 areas in the north of the Selous, which makes the charter nice and short......about 50 minutes.

I've also hunted the Ks, but not for a few years, the blocks we use have a lot more game than my experience of the Ks as we have 2 perennial rivers flowing through our area which ensures we hold the game in our areas.


During the early & late season, we are normally hunting into (Buff) herds of 80-100 and in the peak we sometimes see herds of 1000 or more. Plains game populations are also very good there and last year we took an East African Eland that will be a new #4 in Rowland Ward and a new #1 in SCI.

Is this the typical deal where you can add a second buffalo for about $1100 or $1300 in trophy fees? Thanks.

No, 'fraid not. The early & late season hunts are on a shared licence.....we don't offer this facility in the peak of the season as there is no demand for it.... the early & late season hunts are really aimed at those hunters who want to hunt the Selous but find the normal price beyond them, it allows 2 clients to take 1 Buff each and the following species (if they wish) between them: 1xImpala, 2xWildebeest

1xwarthog, 1xzebra & 1xLichensteins Hartebeest.



The peak season hunts are a licence per hunter and cost US$10000 per hunter for 2x1 or US$13000 for 1x1. This price includes a comprehensive safari contract, all licences, import fee for 1 rifle per hunter, all charters into and out of the area, trophy fee & CDF for 1 Buffalo per hunter, all camp fees, dip, pack & delivery of trophies to Dar es Salaam etc. You also get our full safari pack and safari planning service The ONLY exclusions are additional trophy fees for the 2nd Buffalo per hunter and plains game, alcohol, tips and any hotel accommodation before or after the hunt.



Full details are on my website or if you prefer you can just send me an e-mail and I'll reply with all the details.

Thank you for the additional details.

I forgot to say earlier that if clients fly via RSA we can also offer some GREAT wingshooting at this time of year.
