Legendary Adventures is committed to providing a superlative hunting experience. We believe it is important that both our clients and our outfitter’s Professional Hunters be proud of the way in which hunts are conducted.

Although Tanzania is renowned for its excellent trophy quality, it is primarily the thrill of the chase that should motivate you to come on safari with us. Apart from collecting aged trophies during your safari, we want you to remember your safari for the unique atmosphere of the African bush, the people, animals, skills, sights, smells and sounds that you encounter while in Tanzania.

You will need to be reasonably fit, capable of carrying your own firearm for extended periods and willing to walk to seek your intended trophy. You will be hunting aged male specimens only, and we ask that you accept the judgement of your Professional Hunter when it comes to trophy quality. Our guarantee is to endeavor to provide you opportunities to shoot top quality trophies in a fair and sportsman-like manner.

To quote the late Honorable Mwalimu J.K. Nyerere
"The survival of our wildlife is a matter of grave concern to all of us in Africa. These wild creatures amid the wild places they inhabit are not only important as a source of wonder and inspiration but are an integral part of our natural resources and of our livelihood and well being."

We have made a strong commitment as a company to work only with outfitters in Tanzania who operate with a high level of respect for the natural resources entrusted to them. As Professional Hunters exercising judgment in the field, and as clients interested in meaningful field experiences, everyone must collectively share the responsibility of being custodians of nature's gift to mankind. Everyone must also share the responsibility of upholding and promoting the ethics of sport hunting and the laws of Tanzania. To accomplish this, the local outfitters will focus on utilizing precious resources in a manner that does not negatively impact the sustainability and natural replenishment of animals and habitat. An animal should be harvested only when it is determined by the Professional Hunter that it can be collected humanely and without detrimental impact to the sustainability of the wildlife population. Your Professional Hunter will make judgments in the field that take into consideration many factors that contribute to the overall success of the safaris they conduct, as well as the long term viability of TGTS & WWS.

LAI has a primary interest in ensuring the safety of its clients, working with the local outfitters to uphold the laws of Tanzania, and providing our clients with an excellent safari experience. We therefore advise you of these additional regulations which you will be asked to follow while on safari:

1. Clients' firearms must be unloaded while onboard any vehicle.
2. No hunting of any description or sighting of rifles within 1 kilometer of any camp.
3. There should be minimum waste of the meat of trophy animals and where possible, meat should be distributed to the local people.
4. Proper effort must be made to track and follow all wounded animals.
5. The Professional Hunter is responsible for interpreting, implementing and observing all Tanzanian laws and company policies. At no time should the Professional Hunter be pressured to deviate from the laws of Tanzania or company policies.
6. Only aged animals can be collected, irrespective of whether they are to be used as bait or retained as a trophy. Professional Hunters are responsible for making this determination.

Hunting of immature or female leopard and lion
Only male animals may be hunted. In the event that a female or immature leopard or lion is shot, be this deliberate or accidental, you will be required to pay double the published game fee. Under no circumstances will any such trophy be exported from Tanzania.
For more information, see Choosing the Right Lion.

Observers wishing to hunt
Any person wishing to hunt an animal or bird must upgrade to hunting client status or purchase a Companion Hunt. Non-hunting observers may not shoot animals on a hunting client’s license.

We hope you have a wonderful safari and good hunting.
