Crocodile Hunting Special Mozambique

[KWALATA SAFARIS]

Hi guys I will be running the following Crocodile hunting special for 2015 on our area located on the North bank of Cahorra Bassa in Mozambique.
Our area is well known for excellent trophy crocodile, our largest for the season past, being a tad over 17' with a solid average just shy of 15' on trophy quality.
Below is a custom package I have put together for a true crocodile hunt in a true wilderness area.
Ph's will predominantly be myself or Hardus, or Reinhard.

Croc 2 x 1 package
7 nights (6 hunting days) x U$700 = U$ $4900
Tag Fee @ $ 1175
Trophy @ $ 2325
.........................................................................
Total U$ 8650
Extras/not included
*Transport (Tete) round trip, 4 hours by car and an additional 1:30 by boat. 250 USD p.p
*Own Gun import 500 USD
*any additional trophies (depending on quota available)
*taxidermy fees as well as dipping packing and shipping of trophies from Chimoyo .

OUR RIFLES WILL BE AVAILABLE FREE OF CHARGE.
Also included are
*all meals
*all drinks
*trophy fee as well as daily rates as above
*fully licensed PH (Mozambique and more specifically in Tete province)
*Hunting Card/License


Once again this is most probably one if the most prime locations for true crocodile hunting in Africa.

My very best always

With the size of crocs you are taking it does sound like you have one of the best locations for a monster.

All the best in selling a few hunts.

Exactly what I was thinking Wheels!

I know if Zim where I went anything 13 feet or over was considered a shooter. I thought that was pretty good, but this is better for sure on average.

 

[KWALATA SAFARIS]

As mentioned above our largest was just shy of 17'2" we average around 15' the chances for an able bodied hunter with a dedication to hunt a large croc to connect with something in excess if 14' and well over is not a unrealistic expectation to have.

Big crocodile do occur...

Jaco,

Can you post a photo of the 17 footer. Just want something to dream about.

A couple of others if you have them would be great also!

 

[KWALATA SAFARIS]

For sure I am traveling as we speak, and myself and Hardus finalized this while driving,

But here is but some...
ENJOY!

Great trophies and photos. Cahorra Bassa grows some biguns.

Thanks for posting.

 

[KWALATA SAFARIS]

Wheels, no problem! These incredible Lizards are as extreme of a hunt as any other specie...

They are very difficult to get up on, and have super senses, it truly is a challenge to hunt quality old crocodiles such as these pictured above.

Not quite a holiday, but most hunters will enjoy the challenge...

My very best always

 

[Royal27]

And those pictures show what a value this hunt really is!

 

[IdaRam]

Sounds like a very fun hunt and an excellent value You certainly take some monster crocs!
A couple questions for you Jaco. How much will a croc in that size range weigh? How many croc do you expect to take in the 2015 season?
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
P.S. Ended up adding Sable and Roan (split between us) to existing hunt for 2015. Hoping Buff may be in the cards for 2017/2018. Will be in touch

 

[KWALATA SAFARIS]

We have 100 miles of (straight line lake front) as well as the various rivers running into the lake.
We receive 15 croc on quota every year, all crocs harvested are the quality as above.
As for weight it varies, I believe the lake crocs grow quite big because of the availability of food, these crocs are well known for the fish they eat out of local fishermen a nets as well as an average of one fisherman a day around the lake.

I would say the 14' and up crocs vary in weight like humans.
You get the fatty's! Which can be longs and the skinny's

Average on weight I would say would be
1000 - 1600 lbs I have never weighed one, I have seen and heard stories of 1 ton crocs but have not (as far as I know) hunted one yet.

My best always

Incredible! Could a hippo, sable, or both be added? If so what would be a ballpark figure on a hunt like that? Are all of these animals exportable to the U.S.?

 

[KWALATA SAFARIS]

Gizmo, crocodile and Sable/leopard/lion and the other species we have are, unfortunately for now hippo are NOT.

This is mainly my Leopard/lion/croc area, unfortunately we do not have sable here (they are up on our Niassa area.
Other species that could be added to the croc, would be Kudu, Chobe bush buck, hyena, grysbuck.

They do allow us to take ration hippo from time to time.

The hippo issue has hurt us allot! Like the Zimbabweans on the Elle's as we received 10 on quota a season.

Thank you for the prompt response. I'm trying to figure out what I want for 2017/18. I'm thinking either a leopard, a pg bow hunt, or some combo of croc sable hippo.

Why not leopard/croc then? Get Jaco to send you a quote at least as it might not be as $$$ as you think.

I try to take at least two expensive animals at a time. I'm limited on both time and money and it seems to be the best way to get value from both. My first big hunt was buff/hippo and I want my next big hunt to be leopard/tuskless in a perfect world.

Great offer in a great area. In my opinion Cahorra Bassa is the best area for Hippo and Crocodile.
If there is a time in my life I miss the most, it's the time I hunted on the Southern bank of the Cahorra Bassa. Those were the days!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent offer there Jaco

 

[James.Grage]

Merry Christmas Jaco,

A very nice and tempting offer, you are putting out on the table...

Makes many think, can i fit that in next year...

That's a good idea, I'm taking that approach with my lion/buff this summer. I was just worried about the price with those two together.

I hear ya, but the Sable, Hippo, and Croc you mentioned ain't cheap either! Worth asking for sure.

 

[KWALATA SAFARIS]

Leopard/croc is a BIG YES! By far one of the best areas I have ever hunted for Leopard, with it being my primary Leopard area it should mean something.

Let me know if you need some info.

Thanks for all the kind words and encouragement guys!

My best always.
