Our professional hunter has more than 30 years experience of Central Africa hunting and is also the President of the French Professional Hunters Association ACP.
The Savannah area is known for abundance of LORD DERBY ELAND and has an outstanding density of what is called group A species, Western Roan and Western Buffalo. Lions and Elephants. Quota are available on request. The remaining game (hartebeest, Oribi, bushbuck, reedbuck, duikers…) is called group B. The hunting permit in Cameroon Savannah allows up to 2A and 4B species.
Hunting begins in the early morning hours looking for tracks of the specific species you are hunting. Your professional hunter will accompany you with native “Pygmy” trackers and hunting dogs. All-wheel drive double cab vehicles, equipped with necessary tools for the terrain are used.
Morning hunts are normally the best time of day to track and go after Bongo, Sitatunga and Forrest Buffalo. The afternoon hunts are shorter and mainly for Duikers and Possible Red River Hogs. The Forest hunting is exciting with awesome nature scenes .
It is also incredible to see the Pygmy trackers and dogs working. Hunting is mainly on foot and out of blinds near the edge of large clearings.
Cameroon’s law allows importing two rifles per hunter with a limit of 50 rounds per rifle/shotgun. Depending on the animals to be hunted, we recommend:
A 375 or 416 rifle with detachable scope and open sight. Ammunitions: 30 – soft / 10 – solid. If you prefers do not take your rifle, we have a wide variety of rifles and the ammunition.
