It is illegal to double the same species, irrespective of the license taken.

Historical Cameroon's zone with magnific mountains views and valleys riche of that special vegetation for the Lord Derby Eland. We combine Kourouk with the Mana area 46.000 Ha. (113.668,3 acre) directly limited by the Faro National Park. This combination of territories is the best hunting area in Cameroon.

You and your companions will enjoy one of the most iconic place in Africa, superbly equipped with traditional accommodation.

The Hunting Method:

You will be hunting with your dedicated PH and his team of trackers and gun bearers, and will be using one of our Toyota SUV vehicle, specialy equiped, to move  within the area. Our PHs are specialists, with a great experience and international prestige.

The usual way to hunt is to walk or drive around, looking for a fresh track, and then to follow it up on foot until we find the specimen hunted that day. Sometimes the animal can be also spotted and stalked.

Safari is tradition and prestige. Sport hunting is where you win every trophy. 

Our Camp:

Base camp Kourouk, has a great location on a river side, along which is situated the  dining room, a nice terrace and lounge bar. We offer comfortable rooms / bungalows, in traditional African style. Each bungalow consists of a room with 1 or 2 beds, mosquito nets, desk, closet, rack, fan and full bathroom, providing Roon service and daily Laundry.  WIFI available in the dining area.
