Hunting Safaris and Sustainable Wildlife Management

hunting safaris

Hunting safaris are one of the most unique and exhilarating experiences that a sportsman can take part in. Whether it is done in the spot-and-stalk style or by sitting in a ground blind, hunting safaris can be very rewarding and are a great way to get into the sport of archery.

Although the trend is largely toward photo safaris, this type of hunting does not eliminate the need for responsible and sustainable hunting. Quite the contrary, the sustainable harvest of wildlife species helps to balance the ecosystem by controlling wildlife populations and removing those that are overpopulated and causing habitat degradation.

Carefully regulated game hunting has contributed greatly to the economic stability of Africa, and is an integral component to many African countries’ tourism industries. It also provides a sustainable source of income for local communities and is often a major contributor to community-based conservation initiatives.

In Mozambique, the wildlife industry has made a remarkable recovery since the ban on hunting was lifted in 1973, mainly due to the tireless efforts of the safari guides and community members. However, the country still struggles with unchecked poaching and illegal logging.

While there are those who would like to turn back the clock and see hunting safaris disappear, the reality is that sustainable wildlife management is a win-win for all parties involved. Countries that have taken the approach that photo safaris and sustainable hunting are complementary instead of competing activities, such as Tanzania, South Africa, Namibia, and Zimbabwe, have thriving wildlife populations.
