I may be able to get to Nairobi, Kenya in July and I'd like to try to get across to do a few days in Tanzania. I'm not sure if I have enough days as I understand there may be a minimum number of days. I'd also need to rent a rifle. If all this can work out I'd be interested in Kudu, Sable, warthog, and possibly Nyala. I'd even be interested in a cull hunt if that's available instead.
 
The way safaris are conducted in TZ is not conducive to what you describe.
East African Greater Kudu (and Lesser Kudu for that matter), and Roosevelt Sable are considered "top shelf" trophies, are usually of very limited quota, and it is very unlikely that a safari operator could offer them on a short hunt as might be arranged in South Africa, and definitely not offered in a cull hunt scenario. And I don't believe you will find any operator offering nyala in TZ.
 
Unfortunately, what you are proposing is just not possible in Tanzania. The government licenses and fee are expensive. For example, a lessor kudu requires a day license premium. That’s an extra [emoji[emoji6][emoji6]]k just to shoot one plus trophy fees.
 
You are describing a short South African hunt but saying Tanzania. Sable and kudu are only available on premium license and there are no Nyala. Tanzania is likely the most expensive country to hunt in Africa even for short hunts with relatively common species. As an example, looking at 2024 price list from a larger outfitter there for daily rates and licensing, they list $17000 for a 5 day limited PG hunt in massailand and $22000 for a 7 day buffalo and limited PG hunt in southern part of country. I’d look more into what you actually want, because I think the reality there is very different.

Preparing for the adventure of a lifetime. Looking forward to my 2026 Africa hunt with Van Wijk Safaris in South Africa.

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
