Masailand
The Masailand hunting areas Lake Natron and Enduimet, are situated in the magnificent Rift Valley close to the Kenyan border. Endiumet offers a unique experience to hunt at the base of two of Africa’s most iconic mountains, Mt Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru.
​​
The habitat varies tremendously from open plains and arid woodland to acacia brush country and mountain forests. The beautiful scenery, abundance of game and magnificent birdlife make this the perfect location for hunters as well as guests looking for an exclusive photographic experience away from the crowds of the nearby National Parks.
​​
Kilombero North Safaris is the only company in Tanzania that can offer all the Masailand species in one area. This includes, but is not limited to; Robert's Gazelle, Gerenuk, Lesser Kudu, Fringe Eared Oryx, Chandler’s Mountain Reedbuck, as well as the Eastern and Western White-bearded Wildebeests.
Masailand in Tanzania is known for its warm, semi-arid climate, which greatly influences the timing of hunting expeditions. The prime time for hunting is from late April to early July, when its greener, skies are clear, and wildlife is gathered around water sources. This period offers comfortable hunting conditions with cooler mornings and evenings, but the hunting is good from July through October as well, baring in mind that it will be much drier during those months.
​​
Temperatures are moderate for Tanzania, and mostly fluctuate according to the time of day in Masailand, getting as hot as 85ºF (29ºC) at the peak of the day, with an average temperature of 70ºF (21ºC) - milder from April through September, but in general there are cooler evenings in the region, dropping down to an average low of 59ºF (15ºC).
