Niassa Hunting Area – Mozambique
In the far reaches of Northern Mozambique, where the wild country still whispers of an older Africa, lies a hidden jewel of the East—Niassa Reserve. Vast, untamed, and steeped in rugged beauty, it stands among the last great free-range wilderness areas left on the continent. To the north, it meets the border of Tanzania, where the famed Selous stretches beyond, forming one of the last true sanctuaries of wild Africa.
Niassa is divided into a number of carefully managed blocks, each offering its own blend of prime hunting ground and unspoiled scenery. These lands are home to rare and remarkable species—Roosevelt sable, Niassa wildebeest, Lichtenstein hartebeest, and Boehm’s zebra—creatures found only in this remote corner of the world.
Though wild in spirit, access to Niassa is straightforward. Direct flights reach Lichinga, Nampula, and Pemba via SA Airlink or LAM through Maputo. From Lichinga, the journey continues by road into camp, while charter flights from Pemba or Nampula can carry you deeper into the bush. Our camps lie close enough for comfort, yet far enough to keep the feeling of true isolation alive.
Top 3 Animals to hunt in Mozambique
Hunting in Niassa centres on lion, leopard, and buffalo under quota, with a wealth of plains game available as additional trophies.
Our Accommodation in Mozambique
Accommodation is in classic, rustic tented camps—true to the traditions of old Africa. For those willing to venture further, smaller fly camps are set some hours away, placing hunters amidst the most game-rich country.
Life in camp is simple but well-appointed. Power is supplied by diesel generators, with solar support in certain areas. Hot running water and Wi-Fi are available in the main camps, though some remote regions rely solely on satellite connection—reminding one that this is still a land far removed from the modern world.
Mozambique Niassa Hunting Season
The hunting season runs from June through November, when the bush is dry and the days are warm. From December to April, the rains return, bringing life back to the land in full measure.
A safari in Niassa is not merely a hunt, it is an expedition into the last frontier of East Africa. It is a place where effort is rewarded, where the spoor tells stories, and where the spirit of true wilderness still reigns. Gather by the fire beneath a starlit sky, and take part in a tradition as old as the land itself. Here, in Niassa, the essence of Africa endures.
