Sustainable Use Conservation Hunting

COUTADA 9

The Coutada 9 concession is situated halfway between Tete and Chimoio (north-south), and Zimbabwe and Malawi (west-east), in Manica province. It was a famous hunting block, mainly for Lion and Buffalo, in the 1970's before the Mozambican civil war.

The Nhacainga Conservancy lies within the coutada, and has seen a huge increase in wildlife populations, due to the investment made by the Rio Save Safaris partnership and the implementation of co-ordinated management.

This management of animal reintroduction programs, anti-poaching units, integrated local community partnerships and income from sustainable use conservation hunting, has meant the area has been conserved and a biodiverse ecosystem balance restored!

The terrain in Coutada 9 differs only slight from our hunting area further east on the Zambezi delta, with the addition of large granite out crops, Miombo (Tambooti) woodland, Combretum savannah with large seasonal rivers with thick riverine bush.

Tandikwe Bush Camp is situated in the heart of Nhacainga Conservancy, and has five luxurious thatched-roofed chalets, each sleeping up to four people, with ensuite facilities. It has a thatch dining room, with open stunning views of the concession and Nhacainga mountains.

Pompue Fly Camp is a tree shaded safari ‘fly’ camp on the Pompue River, with a separate flushing toilet and bucket shower. Due the large area of Coutada 9, the camp is used to access even more remoter areas, and to add to the authentic adventure!

Our safaris in Coutada 9 and Nhacainga Conservancy offer as an authentic “Old Africa” hunting experience – supporting Cape buffalo, Eland (Livingstone’s), Greater Kudu, Sable, Nyala, Waterbuck, Reedbuck, Sharpe’s Grysbok, Suni (Livingstone’s), Hartebeest (Lichtenstein’s), Impala, Oribi, Red & Grey Duiker, Warthog, Zebra (Crawshay’s)…

COUTADA 11

Coutada 11 together with Coutada 14 together provides a vast hunting area, accessed by a short charter flight from Beira International Airport to a traditional tented East African camp or Portuguese style lodge.

These are low and flat delta hunting blocks, dominated by five habitat types - Miombo woodland (open canopy deciduous woodland), sand forest (ancient sand dune forest), tropical savannah (terrestrial tree / grasslands biome), swamps and floodplains (river / coastal flatlands).

This unique and distinctive structure of habitats creates a very large species carrying capacity for Cape Buffalo, Eland (Livingstone’s), Greater Kudu, Sable, Nyala, Waterbuck, Reedbuck, Bushbuck (Chobe), Suni (Livingstone’s), Hartebeest (Lichtenstein’s), Impala, Crocodile, Oribi, Blue, Red & Grey Duiker, Warthog, Bushpig, Zebra (Selous)...

This is an unbelievably rich, biodiverse area, brought ‘back from the brink’ of desolation due to considered, integrated, sustainable use conservation hunting!

BUFFALO CAMP

The camp is on the edge of the famous Marromeu Buffalo Reserve, which covers the southern half of the Zambezi Delta, consists of wooden cabins with ensuite facilities. The dining and sitting area overlook one of the palm savanna, open grassland and perennial rivers beyond.

This is primarily a Buffalo hunting area with one of the densest buffalo populations in the world, but with the bush and plains game available in Nhacainga Conservancy, a combination hunt between Coutada 9 and Buffalo Camp, makes for an excellent and diverse safari option.

Weather

Mozambique has a subtropical climate, with a dry season lasting from April to December, temperatures range from 12°C at night to 28°C in the day, and a rainy season from January to March.

The beaches are stunning throughout the dry season, although the winter months, June to August, can be breezy; especially in the north.

The optimal time to visit is September to November, when temperatures range from 17°C at night to 30°C in the day, and game viewing is at its best, the weather being calmest and warmest.
