As we all know hunting in Masailand is a dream for most hunters due to the high cost of those hunts!

However to make this dream a reality I have come up with a hunt that might work for some.

5 full hunting days 1x1, $14,850

Includes:

10 day hunting licence
All concession and community fees
Top notch camp and staff
Great Meals, drinks in moderation
PH & team, 4wd
Trophy preparation and paperwork and crating of trophies ready for export
1 gun permit

Quota for:

1 Grants Gazelle $1,500
1 Thompsons Gazelle $1,200
1 East African Impala $1,000
1 Kirks dik dik $600
1 Eastern White bearded wildebeest $1,500
1 Zebra $1,500

Extras:

Trophy fees as listed above
Hotel in Arusha if you do not arrive in time to drive to camp the same day. On the retun you normally don't need to spend a night in Arusha
Drive to camp and return to Kiliminjaro airport $600
Observer $400/day
covid test
Sightseeing

I can offer this hunt only for this year. Masailand is a special place and if you add a few extra days I can create a really nice sightseeing photo safari straight after your hunt. Thanks to Covid many of the National Parks have far fewer tourists around so this is the time to do that also. Take your better half along and enjoy a first or second honeymoon, combined with a fun hunt.

You will come back with great memories and some cool trophies found nowhere else!

This hunt can also be upgraded to a bigger hunt to include species like Gerenuk, Lesser Kudu, or transfer to Western Tanzania for buffalo, leopard etc. or just add a few more days to enjoy Masailand.

Thanks for your time.

Not sure hunters will go to the effort of hunting in Africa for five days? And if you take all your animals that is a $22,150 PG hunt with out the extras.

You are right Andrew.

But, this could actually make sense for someone hunting say the Selous for buffalo, and wishes to try Masailand as well..

True and I had not thought about that!

Or hunters who need one or two of these animal species for their collection.

I love the "collection" bit!

At more than double the price on trophy fees.

This might be a bargain compared to next year's prices?

Actually, apart from the “collection” bit, going to Masailand and not shooting a gerenuk and a lesser kudu is not worth it.

At the rate prices are being hiked there's going to be an increase in old-age deaths in game populations.

Oh stop bitchingn and moaning. Go on a mule deer hunt instead. >>>http://forums.accuratereloadin...251026962#5251026962

Everyone should experience Masailand.

I wish it was that easy!

Lots of things I would love to experience.

I am not allowed!

I agree with Lavaca. Masailand is a must see if you can afford it. Of course the level of the safari experience is just a step up in Tanzania in most areas.

Mark

Tanzania is already considered to be the most expensive African hunting destination today and already beyond financial reach to some hunters.

The recent auctioning of concessions, some of which were sold for astronomical figures, will only foresee yet more increases in costs overall and while money may not be the issue for some, the tune will be different for others.

It would be advisable therefore to seriously consider doing a dream hunt to Tanzania in 2022 and possibly break the bank in doing so rather than not doing it at all in 2023 and years to come when pricing will most definitely be the deciding factor.

I have hunted Masailand seven times.

Great memories were of meeting Masai warriors in all their splendor!

Adorned by trinkets of every conceivable kind.

From pieces of funny looking plastics of unknown origin, to non working mobile phones!

One group we met after I shot a Grant, had arrows tipped with poison!

We gave them some meat.

Another lot came over after we shot a wildebeest.

They had very thin dogs, with their ribs very visible.

They went berserk eating the entrails!

Masailand is a great place to hunt you can also learn Masai Culture

Unfortunately with the passing of time and the introduction of game laws, among others, the present day Morani bears no resemblance to those whom I had the privilege of bumping into 40+ years ago.

Once we convinced the chief that we were harmless, we would part with some worldly goods such as salt, sugar, rope and spent 12 gauge shells from which they made lobe plugs with the brass and necklaces from the differently coloured plastic casings.

Gone are the Lion skin and Ostrich feather headdresses, gone are the traditional Lion hunts as there are safer methods available today.

Gone is the shield which was made from buffalo hide and considered an item related to warfare and subsequently banned ... the ones you see today are merely ornamental to keep the tourists happy.

Vanishing Africa by Mirella Ricciardi immediately comes to mind, rich in photographs of an era long gone to be forgotten; a book worth buying as it is worth its weight in gold.

Its called civilization!! The Masai are very civilized, but there is even a difference I saw between the ones exposed to the photo tourists I saw in Kenya v/s the ones living in small villages in Tanzania.


In my travels from East to West Africa I can say that the people the least civilized I have come across is the pgymies in the forests of Cameroon. They seemed to not have much desire for modern things! There again there was a difference between the younger and older trackers.


As a kid growing up in India we had Gond tribals working on our farm. Many of the women in those days wore nothing on top! Wild, simple people who lived off the land. I spent many fun days hunting and fishing with them. In those days we had no electricity, no generator, no phones, just oil lamps at night, closest gas station was 2 hours aways. What beautiful days those were, sadly gone forever.......Thankful that I got a glimpse of the past.

I’ve only been hunting in Africa for 25 years, but the changes seen in that time frame are immense……

jdollar nailed it. Masailand is changing fast and not for the better. I've seen attempted maize fields. By attempted, I mean that not only do they interrupt the migration routes of the animals, but apparently a Masai drives a tractor like a drunk college student. Not a straight row to be seen.

Then you see a cell phone case on their belt next to the simi sheath.

Then you see not just piki pikis, but real motorcycles, and solar panels in the bomas.

And the worst, the trash, water and soft drink bottles scattered all around the hunting area.

Go while you can if you want to see it remotely resemble what it was in the past.

Their presence has extended well beyond their traditional borders and are now a common sight (eyesore) in the cities where they act as night guards and Zanzibar as an added tourist attraction.

Damn, they have acclimatized and taken to eating fish and eggs as well.

I hunted the Maasai Steppe many times on my Residents License (a whole lot more than 7....) - needed a lot of organisation but then you could hunt from south of Kibaya to Lolkisale on one license - over a hundred miles north to south.

I'm glad I did when I see the loony prices above....

No - I won't be back there - even if I could afford it.

There was some good Elephant hunting around the Kibaya/Kisima cha Mungu areas back in the 60's up to the early 70's when hunting was banned in 1973 and has never been the same since.
