TANZANIA

Skyline Adventures only offer hunts with a single safari company in Tanzania . It is our belief that this operator is very professional, offers very attractive packages and will give you the type of quality experience hunters go to Tanzania for. A family run operation, the owners are third generation Tanzanians and Professional Hunters themselves. They have the knowledge, insight and experience needed to provide you with a first class Tanzanian safari. Their deep respect and concern for the land, the wildlife and the people, have resulted in a company that not only provides their guests with treasured life-long memories, they actively support local community development projects, wildlife management initiatives, and ant-poaching units.

Hunts are conducted in the Kilombero area of southern Tanzania . This is a unique wetland habitat that is known as the Kilombero Valley , which is nestled in the famous Eastern-Arc Mountain Range. This area offers exceptional dangerous game hunting with ideal habitat for buffalo, hippo, elephant, lion, leopard, crocodile and record class puku. The Miombo woodlands offer waterbuck, sable, bushbuck, bushpig, warthog, reedbuck, leopard, hartebeest, wildebeest, zebra and various other species.

The Kilombero offers a special kind of hunt. Experience the kind of true African safari that most only read about. You can expect the best in vehicles, equipment, service and Tanzanian hospitality, with friendly, ethical Professional Hunters that have the personal knowledge and experience to make your safari the hunt of a lifetime.
