Varied, healthy ecosystems that support an impressive diversity of flora and fauna.  

Large herds of buffalo are year-round residents, as well as roan, greater kudu, eland, Lichtenstein’s hartebeest, oribi, klipspringer, bushbuck, zebra, and duiker. Both the presence of these prey species and the vitality and diversity of habitats also supports and produces outstanding lions and leopards. Hippos and crocodiles inhabit the waterways of this beautifully wild area as well.  Our areas are not only an exceptional place for game to inhabit, due to its assortment of landscapes, but it is also a treat for the hunter to hunt and explore, offering a multitude of possible experiences.  

CAMPS

The private and exclusive hunting camps lie nestled deep in the heart of the vast miombo forests of western Tanzania.  Secluded, truly wild settings that offer comfort and coolness in traditional and attractive style, with spacious, well-appointed insect proof tents, each including an outdoor desk area as well. Conveniently situated nearby is a large dining area, decorated with authentic Africana and complimented by additional lounge-style seating with a natural history/hunting library to enjoy.

Each tent’s comfortable beds are well-appointed with crisp linens and warm blankets, while solar powered electricity, accessory furniture, and wardrobe shelving welcome you to fully unpack and establish your own personalized residence for the duration of your safari.  En suite bathrooms replete with hot and cold showers and sinks ensure that you are refreshed after a proper day afield, and are rejuvenated for an inspiring start each morning.  

Although our main camp locations are dictated by permanent water sources, due to the expansive nature of our hunting concession, hunters are also offered the opportunity to experience a fly camp.  A simpler, more mobile option that allows for concentrating on pursuing a certain species or to explore sections of the hunting block that are largely untouched.
