Safari Itineraries

Hunting safari days commence the morning after arrival in camp and terminate on the evening before departure. Traveling days are not considered safari days normally. Some exceptions may occur due to method of travel and client time availability.
Any hotel accommodations before, during or after the safari are payable by the client. We recommend all clients to take advantage of Kambako’s Pemba Beach Lodge. This 4 bedroom lodge is luxurious, quiet, up market with very personalized service. The cost per night is below any comparable accommodation in Pemba.

MOZAMBIQUE & KAMBAKO HUNTING REGULATIONS

The hunting season runs from the beginning of June to the end of November. June is cooler but the bush is relatively thick but good for cat and elephant hunting. As the season progresses, the bush dries out and tracking of game gets easier.
Arms and ammunition: An import/export firearm permit is required for South Africa (download import permit), as well as Mozambique (see required info under firearm permits on previous page). A maximum of two rifles and one shotgun per person are allowed into Mozambique with a maximum of 100 rounds of weapon specific ammunition each. No semi automatic or military style firearms are permitted. No permits are required for bows and handguns are permitted for hunting. Soft bags are recommended to be brought along for use when transferring from Pemba to camp by small plane charter.

TROPHY INFORMATION

Kambako has out sourced their dipping, packing and shipping of clients’ trophies to an independent specialist who has been in this field for over 15 yrs ……. Mochaba Services. Mochaba’s main office is in Maun, Botswana but for the past 6 years they have had a representative based in Maputo and presently Mochaba deals with virtually all of Niassa Operators trophy shipments.

CITES (Convention in Trade of Endangered Species of Fauna and Flora)

Whilst Kambako guarantees that all animals offered are covered by local and international quotas and are legal to harvest in Mozambique, the same cannot be guaranteed world wide as each country has its own import laws. This applies to CITES and the signatory countries. Kambako shall provide local permits for game animals, CITES appendix ii (lion, hippo and baboon) international export permits. Before a CITES I export permit can be issued from Mozambique, (leopard), we need to have a CITES I import permit from the country to where it is going.

BAGGAGE
Due to restrictions on luggage space available on certain aircraft and take off restrictions from certain airstrips, clients are requested to pack minimal luggage and to use soft bags. (The company can assist with soft gun cases). The usual weight restrictions, including guns and ammo, is two bags with a total of 30kgs (66lbs). Please note that laundry is done daily and clients should not over pack.

MEDICAL INFORMATION
Mozambique, as with the majority of Africa is a malaria endemic area. Although this disease is only noticeably prevalent during the wet summer months, it is advised that a course of prophylactics should be taken before and after your visit. As anti- malarial drugs differ widely between countries and physicians, please consult with your local doctor. We can advise on certain drugs, but take no responsibilities for effectiveness or side effects.
Comprehensive medical boxes are available in all camps and our professional hunters are trained in basic first aid. It is advisable to bring along your own first aid kit and to utilize a medical rescue program such as med jet and take out personal coverage.
