LION HUNTING
Lion hunting in tanzania
Tanzania is a prime location to hunt lions in Africa. It’s located just south of the equator on the eastern coast of Africa. Due to its proximity to the equator, the country has a tropical climate with little variation in temperatures between summer and winter.
Tanzania’s hunting season runs from the start of January to the end of December all year round. Hunting from a vehicle, or over a water hole is prohibited. It’s illegal to hunt at night, or with artificial light. Minimum caliber for lion is .375. Tanzania does have the enviable reputation of producing some of the finest lion trophies, and more than a few are in the record books.
One of the best areas to hunt lion in Africa is in our Masai east open concession. It is reached by an air charter from Arusha. It’s very remote and full of wildlife. It has good lion available. This area is a great place to book an all-around safari where numerous animals will be hunted. Another great area for lion is in far western Tanzania.
The area is known for its big-maned, large-bodied lions, and some real monsters have been taken from there. In Masailand, up near the Tarangire National Park, is an area where quality lions are found. This area has the advantage of being only 2-3 hours from Arusha. A hunter could hunt quality game and incorporate Masai culture into the experience.
