Trophy Fees

All trophy fees noted below include a 20% surcharge for anti-poaching projects. In case females or immature males are shot, the trophy fee is doubled.

Please note that trophy fees can change at any time without notification! Due to quota limitations (especially on Hartebeest, Sitatunga, Topi, Eland, Mountain Reedbuck and DikDik) please be advised, to book your safari well in advance and reserve the species on license you would like to hunt!

*Problem Animals: Crocodile, Hippos and Leopards can only be hunted when they are identified as problem animals by Uganda Wildlife Authority (which heretofore has been rare). Even if identified before or during a safari, it might be necessary to change the booked concession and permits for problem animals might not be available when clients plan to hunt.

General Information about Uganda

The Republic of Uganda is a country in Eastern and Central Africa bordered in the east by Kenya, in the North by Sudan, by the Democratic Republic of Congo in the West, Rwanda in the Southwest and Tanzania in the South.

The southern part of the country includes a substantial portion of Lake Victoria, within which it shares borders with Kenya and Tanzania. Uganda takes its name from the historical Buganda kingdom, which encompasses a portion of the south of the country, including the capital city of Kampala.

The current president of Uganda, Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, is both head of state and head of government. The president appoints a prime minister who aids him in his tasks. The parliament is formed by the National Assembly, which consist of 303 members of whom 86 members are nominated by interest groups, including women and the Ugandan army. The remaining members are elected for five-year terms during general elections.

Uganda is divided into districts spread across four administrative divisions: Northern, Eastern, Central and Western. The districts are all named after their 'chief town'.

Uganda has substantial natural resources, including fertile soils, regular rainfall and sizable mineral deposits of copper and cobalt, oil and gas. Agriculture is the most important sector of the economy, employing over 80% of the work force, with coffee accounting for the bulk of export revenues. Since 1986, the government - with the support of foreign countries and international agencies - has acted to rehabilitate an economy decimated during the regime of Idi Amin and civil war.

Geography and Climate

Uganda is located on the East African Plateau, averaging about 1,100 meters (3,600 feet) above sea level, which slopes steadily downwards to the Sudanese Plain to the north. Much of the south is poorly drained, while the center is dominated by Lake Kyoga and surrounding marshy areas.

Uganda lies almost completely within the Nile basin. The Victoria Nile drains into Lake Kyoga, then into Lake Albert and north to Sudan. One small area on the eastern border of Uganda is drained by the Turkwel River, which is part of the internal drainage basin of Lake Turkana.

Although generally equatorial, Uganda's climate is not uniform as the altitude modifies the climate, but tempera-tures rarely climb to the 90s F during the day or drop to the 40s F at night. Southern Uganda is wetter, with rain generally spread throughout the year.

At Entebbe, on the northern shore of Lake Victoria, most rain falls occur in March - June and November - December.

Further to the north, a dry season gradually emerges so that January and February are much drier than the rest of the year at Gulu (120 miles from the Sudanese border).

Most of the important cities are located in the south near Lake Victoria, including the capital, Kampala, and the "airport city" of Entebbe. Although landlocked, Uganda contains many large lakes. In addition to Lake Victoria and Lake Kyoga, there are amongst others Lake Albert, Lake Edward, and the smaller Lake George.

Accommodation in Kampala and in the Field

Upon arrival at Entebbe Airport (Airport Code: EBB) and departure, depending on your flight schedule, you will be accommodated in a good three-star hotel in Kampala (www.cassialodge.com). Our staff picks you up at the airport and drops you off.

Your lodging in the field will be either in traditional East African safari tents (Kyankwansi Block, Karamoja & Lake Mburo) or traditional grass thatched tented bungalows (Mayanja Lodge) serviced for by trained staff.

Our field cooks provide three solid meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) per day. The cooking in our restaurant samples different kitchens such as Indian, African, German, Italian and Chinese.

All our camps & lodges are semi-permanent structures equipped with 24/7 power supply and satellite internet. The internet can only be used for emails and Skype calls.

Hunting Season

Our hunting season is from January through November. It rains all year round (which is why the country is so lush) with slightly more rain on average in April-June and November. However, the rainfall varies from year-to-year. Some species move with the rain, but we hunt where the animals are.

The best time to hunt Buffalo and Hartebeest is during the months of December to end of April. After that the grass is too high and hunting buffalo becomes challenging. All other species may be hunted year round.

Sitatunga Hunting

Our safaris for the elusive ghost of the swamp, the Sitatunga, are undertaken in the Kafu River Basin and in the papyrus belts along the banks of River Nile. Our areas hold the highest density of Sitatunga anywhere in Africa. It is Our safaris for the elusive ghost of the swamp, the Sitatunga, are undertaken in the Kafu River Basin and in the

papyrus belts along the banks of River Nile. Our areas hold the highest density of Sitatunga anywhere in Africa. It is not uncommon to see between seven to 25 Sitatunga (males, females & young ones) daily in the course of your safari.

Sitatunga hunting involves quite a bit of preparation. Before the start of a safari the papyrus has to be slashed at least three to four weeks ahead of time and a cerebeti (elevated platform) must be built in either a tree or on floating papyrus.

Clothing and Equipment

Lightweight clothing is adequate (long or short sleeves and pants) with a jacket or sweater for the evenings or early mornings. Dark khaki or green are the preferred colors. Be sure to pack some light raingear because it is common to experience some rain several days per month in some regions. Bring good binoculars and a day pack for your camera, extra ammunition and incidentals. A spotting scope, range finder, and walking stick are optional. We also strongly recommend that you bring rubber boots and waders for hunting. In the morning hours we have quite a lot of dew.

Rifles and Ammunition

Bring what suits you best for hunting, but we recommend a .270 - .300 for most species and a .375 - .416 for buffalo. Most airlines limit your ammunition to 11 pounds packed in a locked case in your duffel bag. A good combination would be 60 rounds for your light rifle and 20 softs and 20 solids for your heavy rifle.

Insurances

Each hunter and observer is responsible for his or her health related problems and own insurance including evacua-tion insurance and trip cancellation insurance. You need to talk to your current medical insurance provider about coverage in a foreign country. Each insurance company has different requirements regarding receipts they require for reimbursement of medical costs. Generally speaking you need to take responsibility for your own health and be

aware that we will often be hours if not days away from competent medical care. By joining these safaris you assume the responsibility of the risks associated, which can be, but are not limited, to tropical diseases, animal attacks, uprisings et al.

Health Precautions

See your doctor for routine international vaccinations including an optional yellow fever update every 10 years and an anti-malarial prescription. According to the Center for Disease Control, it is best to use atovaquone/proguanil or doxycycline or mefloquine, but not chloroquine. You may also want to request precautionary anti-biotic and anti- diarrhea tablets. No yellow fever vaccination is required to enter Uganda.

Passport and Visa

A passport valid for at least six months after your arrival and with some blank pages is mandatory. U.S. citizens and citizens of the European Union may obtain a visa in advance or purchase one upon arrival at Entebbe for $50.00.

Airlines

Quite a number of airlines fly to Uganda including KLM which offers non-stops from Amsterdam to Entebbe most days of the week. KLM cooperates with Air France, Kenya Airways, and Northwest Airlines which allows you to connect to Entebbe from Dar es Salaam, Arusha, or Nairobi. Other airlines flying to Entebbe are British Airways, South African Airways, Emirates, Brussels Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Egypt Air and Ethiopian Airlines.

Handling of Your Trophies

Field preparation is included in your safari package. Dip and Pack, export documents and permits are provided at reasonable extra charges by Uganda Wildlife Taxidermy & Tannery Services Ltd. (UWTTS)! Shipping to your selected taxidermist or clearing agent is at your expense.

Permits

All sport hunters entering Uganda have to apply for a hunting license prior to their arrival and a rifle import permit (both of which we will help you obtain). Sport hunters must pay a conservation and concession fee of 50 US$ per day which is included in your package price. Other tourists must pay 20 US$ for each per day."

Our Sport Hunting Concessions

Kafu River Basin (KA)The huge Kafu River Basin stretches along Lake Kyoga, Kafu & Mayanja Rivers and covers the seven districts of Luwero, Nakaseke, Nakasongola, Kiboga, Kyankwansi, Kiryandongo and Masindi covering about 5,000,000 hectares.

The landscape in Kafu consists mainly of Papyrus swamps and dense bush thickets making it a prime hunting ground for the East African Sitatunga, East African Bush Duiker, East African Bohor Reedbuck, Nile Bushbuck, Ugandan Defassa Waterbuck, Leopard, Common Oribi and Bush Pig.

We hunt in Kafu from January to December. This is the best concession for big Sitatunga. Our average is 26 inch with quite a few bulls taken in the 29 to 31.5 inch range.

Aswa Lolim Ranches (AL)The former Aswa Lolim Wildlife Reserve was degazetted under Idi Amin. It covers the sub-counties of Purongo, Alero, Anaka and Koch-Goma. Although many commercial farmers have settled in this prime hunting ground, it is still realistic to get Nile Buffalo, Uganda Kob, Hartebeest and Waterbuck.

Aswa Lolim lies on the eastern side of the Nile. It covers 500,000 hectares and shares 110 km direct border with Murchsion Falls National Park in the south and about 78 km with the Nile in the west. The landscape is dominated by light rolling grass hills with palm trees, small valleys with creeks and light forest. Near the river you find dense forests and large stretches of papyrus swamps.

We hunt in Aswa-Lolim from January to end of April.

Lake Mburo NorthThis concession is situated in the South West of Uganda around lake Mburo National Park. The size of this conces-sion is 150,000 hectares. The landscape is dominated by light rolling grass hills with bush thickets, small valleys with creeks and light forest. Near the river you find dense forests and large stretches of papyrus swamps.

The concession is rich with East African Bushbuck, Eastern Bohor Reedbuck, Sitatunga, Topi, Patterson Eland, East African Impala, Warthog, Cape Buffalo and East African Defassa Waterbuck. Both Impala and Waterbuck exceed in horn length often over 30 inches.

We hunt in Lake Mburo from January to December.

Karamoja NorthThis concession stretches South of Kidepo National Park and is rich in Buffalo, Jackson’s Hartebeest, Oribi, Eastern Bohor Reedbuck, Chanler’s Mountain Reedbuck, Gunther’s DikDik and East African Defassa Waterbuck. This concession is owned by a different outfitter with whom we cooperate.

We hunt in Karamoja from January to July.

Ajai Wildlife ReserveAjai is situated on the West bank of the Albert Nile between Wadelai Fort of Emin Pasha and the hunting camp of Roosevelt called Rhino Camp! Ajai has got Sitatunga, Uganda Kob, East African Defassa Waterbuck, Baboons, Warthog and Bush Pigs. During 2015 we are going to trans-locate more Kob, Hartebeest, Waterbuck and Bushbuck to this reserve to increase the game populations in general.

We hunt in Ajai from January to end of April.

General Information about Uganda

The Republic of Uganda is a country in Eastern and Central Africa bordered in the east by Kenya, in the North by Sudan, by the Democratic Republic of Congo in the West, Rwanda in the Southwest and Tanzania in the South.

The southern part of the country includes a substantial portion of Lake Victoria, within which it shares borders with Kenya and Tanzania. Uganda takes its name from the historical Buganda kingdom, which encompasses a portion of the south of the country, including the capital city of Kampala.

The current president of Uganda, Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, is both head of state and head of government. The president appoints a prime minister who aids him in his tasks. The parliament is formed by the National Assembly, which consist of 303 members of whom 86 members are nominated by interest groups, including women and the Ugandan army. The remaining members are elected for five-year terms during general elections.

Uganda is divided into districts spread across four administrative divisions: Northern, Eastern, Central and Western. The districts are all named after their 'chief town'.

Uganda has substantial natural resources, including fertile soils, regular rainfall and sizable mineral deposits of copper and cobalt, oil and gas. Agriculture is the most important sector of the economy, employing over 80% of the work force, with coffee accounting for the bulk of export revenues. Since 1986, the government - with the support of foreign countries and international agencies - has acted to rehabilitate an economy decimated during the regime of Idi Amin and civil war.

Geography and Climate

Uganda is located on the East African Plateau, averaging about 1,100 meters (3,600 feet) above sea level, which slopes steadily downwards to the Sudanese Plain to the north. Much of the south is poorly drained, while the center is dominated by Lake Kyoga and surrounding marshy areas.

Uganda lies almost completely within the Nile basin. The Victoria Nile drains into Lake Kyoga, then into Lake Albert and north to Sudan. One small area on the eastern border of Uganda is drained by the Turkwel River, which is part of the internal drainage basin of Lake Turkana.

Although generally equatorial, Uganda's climate is not uniform as the altitude modifies the climate, but tempera-tures rarely climb to the 90s F during the day or drop to the 40s F at night. Southern Uganda is wetter, with rain generally spread throughout the year.

At Entebbe, on the northern shore of Lake Victoria, most rain falls occur in March - June and November - December.

Further to the north, a dry season gradually emerges so that January and February are much drier than the rest of the year at Gulu (120 miles from the Sudanese border).

Most of the important cities are located in the south near Lake Victoria, including the capital, Kampala, and the "airport city" of Entebbe. Although landlocked, Uganda contains many large lakes. In addition to Lake Victoria and Lake Kyoga, there are amongst others Lake Albert, Lake Edward, and the smaller Lake George.

Accommodation in Kampala and in the Field

Upon arrival at Entebbe Airport (Airport Code: EBB) and departure, depending on your flight schedule, you will be accommodated in a good three-star hotel in Kampala (www.cassialodge.com). Our staff picks you up at the airport and drops you off.

Your lodging in the field will be either in traditional East African safari tents (Kyankwansi Block, Karamoja & Lake Mburo) or traditional grass thatched tented bungalows (Mayanja Lodge) serviced for by trained staff.

Our field cooks provide three solid meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) per day. The cooking in our restaurant samples different kitchens such as Indian, African, German, Italian and Chinese.

All our camps & lodges are semi-permanent structures equipped with 24/7 power supply and satellite internet. The internet can only be used for emails and Skype calls.

Hunting Season

Our hunting season is from January through November. It rains all year round (which is why the country is so lush) with slightly more rain on average in April-June and November. However, the rainfall varies from year-to-year. Some species move with the rain, but we hunt where the animals are.

The best time to hunt Buffalo and Hartebeest is during the months of December to end of April. After that the grass is too high and hunting buffalo becomes challenging. All other species may be hunted year round.

Sitatunga Hunting

Our safaris for the elusive ghost of the swamp, the Sitatunga, are undertaken in the Kafu River Basin and in the papyrus belts along the banks of River Nile. Our areas hold the highest density of Sitatunga anywhere in Africa. It is Our safaris for the elusive ghost of the swamp, the Sitatunga, are undertaken in the Kafu River Basin and in the

papyrus belts along the banks of River Nile. Our areas hold the highest density of Sitatunga anywhere in Africa. It is not uncommon to see between seven to 25 Sitatunga (males, females & young ones) daily in the course of your safari.

Sitatunga hunting involves quite a bit of preparation. Before the start of a safari the papyrus has to be slashed at least three to four weeks ahead of time and a cerebeti (elevated platform) must be built in either a tree or on floating papyrus.

Clothing and Equipment

Lightweight clothing is adequate (long or short sleeves and pants) with a jacket or sweater for the evenings or early mornings. Dark khaki or green are the preferred colors. Be sure to pack some light raingear because it is common to experience some rain several days per month in some regions. Bring good binoculars and a day pack for your camera, extra ammunition and incidentals. A spotting scope, range finder, and walking stick are optional. We also strongly recommend that you bring rubber boots and waders for hunting. In the morning hours we have quite a lot of dew.

Rifles and Ammunition

Bring what suits you best for hunting, but we recommend a .270 - .300 for most species and a .375 - .416 for buffalo. Most airlines limit your ammunition to 11 pounds packed in a locked case in your duffel bag. A good combination would be 60 rounds for your light rifle and 20 softs and 20 solids for your heavy rifle.

Insurances

Each hunter and observer is responsible for his or her health related problems and own insurance including evacua-tion insurance and trip cancellation insurance. You need to talk to your current medical insurance provider about coverage in a foreign country. Each insurance company has different requirements regarding receipts they require for reimbursement of medical costs. Generally speaking you need to take responsibility for your own health and be

aware that we will often be hours if not days away from competent medical care. By joining these safaris you assume the responsibility of the risks associated, which can be, but are not limited, to tropical diseases, animal attacks, uprisings et al.

Health Precautions

See your doctor for routine international vaccinations including an optional yellow fever update every 10 years and an anti-malarial prescription. According to the Center for Disease Control, it is best to use atovaquone/proguanil or doxycycline or mefloquine, but not chloroquine. You may also want to request precautionary anti-biotic and anti- diarrhea tablets. No yellow fever vaccination is required to enter Uganda.

Passport and Visa

A passport valid for at least six months after your arrival and with some blank pages is mandatory. U.S. citizens and citizens of the European Union may obtain a visa in advance or purchase one upon arrival at Entebbe for $50.00.

Airlines

Quite a number of airlines fly to Uganda including KLM which offers non-stops from Amsterdam to Entebbe most days of the week. KLM cooperates with Air France, Kenya Airways, and Northwest Airlines which allows you to connect to Entebbe from Dar es Salaam, Arusha, or Nairobi. Other airlines flying to Entebbe are British Airways, South African Airways, Emirates, Brussels Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Egypt Air and Ethiopian Airlines.

Handling of Your Trophies

Field preparation is included in your safari package. Dip and Pack, export documents and permits are provided at reasonable extra charges by Uganda Wildlife Taxidermy & Tannery Services Ltd. (UWTTS)! Shipping to your selected taxidermist or clearing agent is at your expense.

Permits

All sport hunters entering Uganda have to apply for a hunting license prior to their arrival and a rifle import permit (both of which we will help you obtain). Sport hunters must pay a conservation and concession fee of 50 US$ per day which is included in your package price. Other tourists must pay 20 US$ for each per day."

Our Sport Hunting Concessions

Kafu River Basin (KA)The huge Kafu River Basin stretches along Lake Kyoga, Kafu & Mayanja Rivers and covers the seven districts of Luwero, Nakaseke, Nakasongola, Kiboga, Kyankwansi, Kiryandongo and Masindi covering about 5,000,000 hectares.
