For more than thirteen years, we have been organizing big game safaris in the northern part of the country on the edge of the Pendjari Hational Park, in the Porga hunting zone.  The hunt is physically demanding and requires hunters to be in good physical condition.  It is primary focused on hunting Roan Antelopes, West Savannah African Buffalos, Western Kobs, Nagor Reedbucks, Western Hartebeests…

 

We shoot several good Lions every year hunted only by tracking.  Baiting is not permitted.

 

Accommodation is provided in the Porga Camp (air conditioned bungalows).

 

Hunting season:  From the beginning of January to the end of April.

 

-13 days safari: each hunter can harvest 1 West African Savannah Buffalo, 1 Roan Antelope, 1 Western Hartebeest, 1 Nagor Reedbuck, 1 Western Kob, 1 Western Bush Duiker, 1 Red Flanked Duiker, 1 Oribi, 1 Harnessed Bushbuck, 1 Warthog, and 1 Baboon.

-20 days safari:  each hunter can harvest additionally from the above list:  1 Lion (if available at the quota), 1 Sing Sing Waterbuck, 1 Hippopotamus.
