KMHA is proud to offer hunting in two of the finest big game areas in the country; Coutada 10 and Sabie Game Management Area. Both areas offer tremendous hunting for Cape Buffalo and plains game while Sabie is arguably the finest lion area anywhere in southern Africa. Whether you want to hunt the floodplains of the Indian Ocean in Coutada 10 or the drier bushveldt of Sabie, KMHA has you covered.
Through our association with Bahati Adventures, Ken Moody Hunting Africa can now offer hunting in Coutada 10, which covers an area of 1,200 square miles (200 000 hectares) of unfenced, wild hunting grounds. The area was formally proclaimed some 40 years ago during the time of Portuguese rule. Before the war, Safari Landia operated the area with such greats as Wally Johnson, Harry Manners and Robert Ruark visiting regularly.
The last company to hunt the area before the war – Safric – described the area as the best for a general bag with Buffalo, Sable, Lichtenstein Hartebeest, Eland, Nyala, Reedbuck, Bushbuck, Lion, Leopard, Bush pig, Warthog as well as all of the forest duikers – Blue duiker, red duiker, Suni and Oribi. The Zambezi river is the largest river in the area with many Hippo and Crocodile.
During the long civil war, the area was not hunted.
Depending on the time of year, up to 30% of the area is wetland with enormous swampy plains. On these plains one can on occasion see herds of several hundred buffalo and it is also here that most of our buffalo hunting is done.
The 494,000 acres of wilderness is bordered by about 30 miles of Indian ocean coastline on the south-eastern side. Coutada 10 is situated south-west of the Marromeu Buffalo Reserve.
Clients access the swamps with an amphibious vehicle and it will often be necessary to sleep in a small satellite “Fly Camp” on one of the wooded islands. There are large bays and rivers unequalled. One will often encounter Elephant and the area is also famous for its large forest leopard.
Our area is blessed with herds of animals as it was described in the old days. The region is original, unspoiled and truly unique, offering a large selection of truly free ranging, wild game. It is one of the few places where you can hunt in unfenced, remote wilderness.
The sight of a few hundred buffalo remains a privilege.
The greater area has thousands of buffalo. The wilderness is generally doing well and species diversity, game numbers and trophy quality are improving every year. The area is also unique in its habitat diversity with large rivers, swamps, grassy plains and forests each contributing to the large animal diversity.
Coutada 10 must be one of the only places in the world where you can hunt free ranging wild Nyala. Sable and Waterbuck herds are ever increasing, as are their trophies. The small antelope like the Suni, Oribi and the Forest duikers enjoy growing popularity amongst hunters. With lots of natural water, Hippo and crocodile hunts are something special.
Because of the high rainfall season during the first half of the year, the hunting season in Mozambique is from June to the end of November. Occasional rain may still occur during this period. Due to the relatively short hunting season, one can expect to share the camp with other hunters.
