Hunting Mozambique

Hunting Mozambique can offer some unique and varied hunting experiences. Located on the coast of the Indian Ocean, it faces the island of Madagascar and is bordered by Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa, and Swaziland. The hunting areas of Mozambique comprise a large portion of the country. The habitat in these areas consist largely of green savanna, forest glades and some dense forest which can make hunting in Mozambique quite challenging at times. The best hunting can be found in the more remote areas of the country near the borders of Tanzania and Zimbabwe. The large game reserves of these countries help to contribute to the larger animal populations found there.
