Fellow AR-Members,

I still have a few Buffalo & Roan packages available for next season in Benin.

Season runs from December 2014 to May 2015.


Unlike in Burkina Faso you can hunt 1 male of all the available species on a hunt.
The area has excellent numbers of Buffalo.

You need to fly into Cotonou where you will be picked up. You will drive to camp the next day. This will take 8-9hours by road.

Daily rate (10days)

5500Euros (2:1)

6500Euros (1:1)


On a 10day hunt you are allowed to take 1 x Buffalo , 1 Roan and 1 male of all the other species!! We can arrange Hippo as well.

This is not an easy hunt and a decent physical fitness is required.

Savannah buffalo 620
Roan 610
Western Hartebeest 396
Nagor Reedbuck 305

Some impressions from the camp and Area:

The camp are simple grassthatched roundhuts.




Trophies from the area:

WOW. This looks like a great deal.

Yup, great deal. You are killing me!

I hunted there last month and can really recommend it to anyone looking for an adventure. The buffalo population in this area is really good as is the hunting.
My hunt report in now up in the Africa hunt report section.

Very good prices, Dennis! Very good deal!

How Difficult?

I am 70 and in pretty good shape for that age, can walk 2 miles in a stretch, no problem. Did quite a bit of hiking to ruins in West Africa last year while cruising the coast, so I know the heat and that was no problem.

Cheers,

Hello Eddy,
you don't have to be super fit, but it definitely requires the ability and willingness to walk quite a few hours every day.
The area has not many roads and it is just necessary to go into the bush and track a bit.

Most of the area is flat, but buffalo bulls do go into the mountains sometimes.

Dennis

Sounds like a good challenge!

What about Cob opportunity? Does time of hunt make a difference on Cob....I know it does for the heat!

Cheers,

Hello,
this concession has very few Cob. It is really pure luck to shot one.

If Cob is a priority for you, I could arrange a few days om another area that has good Cob population.

Dennis

Still some available.

Push

Still dates available in late season!

When is the weather the coolest?

Hello,
In Dec and January.
Late March and April can be very hot, but hunting is great!

Dennis

What is "very hot" ? I huntrd the rainforest in Cameroon, very humid but not blistering hot. Zimbabwe in April was brutal. How would it compare?

what is the add on price for a hippo?

Benin in late season will run from 95 to 115 degrees F during the middle of the day... plenty warm, even for a south Texas boy!

Thanks Russell. Yes it will be 95 to 115F.
Late April is the hottest time.
It is very dry what makes it bearable.

@Shoulderman
We need to change the area for hippo. That will be an additional 1200€. The trophy fee is 1525€.
