Exotic Plains Game Hunting Safaris In Tanzania
Tanzania offers some of the best exotic plains game hunting in all of East Africa. No one area offers all species, and Tanzania is a vast country with a poor road system. Safaris must be carefully planned so that the targeted species are found within the hunting concession that one has chosen to hunt.
One of the better areas for exotic plains game hunting is an area in northeastern Tanzania called Maasailand. Maasailand is known for its “East African” antelope. These include the lesser kudu, East African impala, Gran’s Gazelle, Thomson’s gazelle, southern gerenuk, Coke’s hartebeest, fringe-eared oryx, eastern bohor reedbuck, Chanler’s mountain reedbuck, white-bearded wildebeest and Kirk’s dik-dik. Fringing Maasailand are the topi antelope and a variant of the Gran’s gazelle known as Robert’s gazelle. East African eland and rarities such as Abbott duiker and East African suni can also be found in certain areas of this region.
Central Tanzania features the Rungwa and Kisigo Game Reserves which are both excellent hunting areas. Although primarily a big game hunting destination for leopard, buffalo and some lions, there is a good population of southern antelope species. This area offers some of the best sable and roan hunting in all of East Africa. Sables in the mid 40’s and upwards are occasionally taken in this region. Other common exotic plains game found here includes the East African impala.
The Selous Reserve features mostly the southern variety of exotic plains game but does offer the Lichtenstein hartebeest, the Nyassa wildebeest and the East African eland. The Selous is known as more of a big game hunting area and plains game takes on more of a secondary role to the world-class dangerous game hunting that is found here.
Peter’s gazelle, puku, defassa waterbuck, and Lelwel hartebeest are also found in Tanzania in certain areas. With this wide variety of exotic plains game that can be hunted, Tanzania stands out as one of the greatest exotic plains game destinations on the continent!
Testimonials
"In August 2014 I took a lioness hunt with Discount African Hunts in the Northwest Province of South Africa. The PH's worked hard to customize the hunt for me as I wanted a challenging stalk ending with taking the lioness at close range by an open sighted double rifle. They exceeded my expectations as 12 miles of tracking ended with me shooting the highly agitated lioness at a distance of 25 yards with a couple of rounds of 450 NE".
"I highly recommend a lioness hunt with Discount African Hunts."

"I would Highly recommend my PH and Discount African Hunts. John got me a great deal with a top of the line outfitter. They both went out of their way to make sure my hunt and everything else about it was great."

"I spent weeks visiting websites for outfitters in Namibia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe, comparing pre-made packages and regular fees. In the end, for a 7-day, six animal hunt with my son as an observer/hunter, John Martins had the best price."
