ANY QUESTIONS? PERHAPS THIS SECTION WILL HELP YOU
You will find listed below some of the most common questions that we receive according to hunting in Cameroon. We hope they help you to clear your doubts. If you think that we should add any question, please, use the form situated at the bottom.
SAVANNAH
In Cameroon, all the hunting species are classified in three different categories: A, B and C and two hunting licenses can be requested. The big game hunting license includes 2 trophies in the Group A, 2 trophies in the Group B and 2 trophies in the Group C. The medium hunting license includes 6 trophies in Group B and C. Any hunter can buy as many licenses he needs to complete his wills.
You should be in good shape before traveling to Cameroon. Despite the terrain is quite flat, when chasing the Lord Derby or the Western Buffalo you will be walking lots of miles under the sun (10-15 km/day or 7-10 miles/day). Besides of this, the sun is also an important factor as the temperature reaches 30ºC at mid day or even over pass in mid or late season.
The whole season is good to go after any animal. In early season, the temperature is lower. In late season, the animals are less active and do not move as much as earlier. However, the Lord Derby rut is absolutely off and finding the black manes could be some more difficult.
We don’t operate as regular booking agents. According to our philosophy, we get involved in all the operations that we represent being guides or hosts. In the case of Cameroon, we are guides and we will guide your hunt together with our trackers team. In this way, we will not only assist you for all the booking process, but we also will participate actively in your hunt being even able to make important decisions during your trip.
The export permits and other certificates are not applied for until the season is over in April. It can take about 4-6 months, so you shouldn’t expect to receive any communication before September/October.
Yes. You can apply for your import gun permit when you send all your documents to the Embassy or Consulate of Cameroon in your country. There is a fee that depends on you country of origin.
We recommend using 375HH or bigger for the biggest trophies. Other small antelopes do not need a big calibre, but using a 30.06, 300win, 270WM or 7mm would perform very well.
A packing list will be sent to you with your booking form. It will provide you a guideline about the kind of gear needed for your trip, however, it is a standard list and more things can be added.
Yes, it is. Despite of existing a few incidents every year focused on the top North of Cameroon (bordering with the Chad), the country has a relaxed life.
The main one is the malaria, so in order to prevent it you should take any prophylactic. Beyond this, the Yellow Fever vaccination is required to travel to Cameroon.
Yes… as long as he/she is some adventurous. The camp offers a comfortable stay with nice views over the river (crocodiles, hippos and lots of birds inhabits there) including Wi-Fi, so we are very confident that you will enjoy it very much. The cooking can be organized according to our guest desires and there are a few other activities beyond hunting that can be attractive to any non-hunter guest. However, the more he/she enjoys the nature, the better. By our experience, spending 12 full days at the camp is not very funny, so we hardly recommend going out and enjoying the Cameroonian wildlife and African way of living and hunting.
Not around the hunting area, but in Douala. Douala is bordering the ocean and it represents one of the most important ports in Africa. This is why is said that Douala is the financial capital of Cameroon, while Yaoundé is just the political one. In there, you can visit the fish markets, the port and so. Yaoundé is not that interesting but you could go to the artisans market where buying any souvenir.
