Hunting in Cameroon forest

Forest hunting is exciting and the local trackers with their dogs are expert hunters. Hunting is mainly on foot, but also from blinds settled near the edge of large clearings.

We hunt from an excellent hunting area of 130,000 hectares located in Southern Cameroon, bordering Gabon and the Minkébé National Park by the Ayina river. The most interesting species are Bongo, Dwarf Buffalo, Forest Sitatunga and Forest Elephant some of which make splendid trophies.

Our forest concession is accommodated with several large roads allowing us to cover all the concession and blinds are implemented at strategic locations. It is situated at only 5 hours by car from Yaoundé (comfortable vehicle with A/C) so we don’t need to charter a flight.

The population of Bongo is important and there is probably one of the largest populations of Dwarf Buffalo in all of Cameroon. Forest Elephants are also in good numbers with a high success rate.

April through June is when Dwarf Buffalo hunting is at its best. Bongo and Sitatunga are hunted early May to late July. The Bongo are mainly hunted with dogs that set out on fresh tracks, and the Sitatunga are hunted from the comfort of tree stands. The best hunting period to hunt forest elephant is in June and July when we have rain and the elephants are moving.

Hunters land in Yaounde, where they spend the night before leaving early in the morning for our other hunting camp, located 7 hours drive away from Yaounde. Hunters’ are transported in the comfort of 4×4 air-conditioned vehicles.
