Hunting in Benin
For 29 years we have been organising hunts in Benin, in the Porga area, located in the north-west of the country bordering the Pendjari National Park. In May 2014, the Beninese government renewed our lease for 10 years (until 2024), thus allowing us to invest in the protection and development of this superb area of 85,000 hectares.
This shrubby savanna territory is very rich in Buffalo and Roan antelope.
The year in Benin is divided into three seasons: a dry and rather cool season from October to February, a warmer dry season from March to May, and a rainy season from June to September.
The hunting season runs from late December to mid-May.
Our professional hunting guides are supported by exceptional teams of trackers who will impress you with the quality of their tracking. This hunt is sporty and requires a good physical condition, a one of a kind, remarkable hunt.
As there is nearly a daily flight between Paris and Cotonou, we can organise a tailor-made safari according to the desired duration.
Trophies
The Buffalo and Western Roan antelope trophies are of the highest quality. The Kob from Benin is classified by Safari Club International as the West African Kob, as the average size of the trophy is smaller than the Kob from Cameroon and the Central African Republic, which are classified as the Central African Kob. The Nagor Reedbuck (Redunca Nagor) is an endemic species in Benin and Burkina Faso. It is also possible to spot Harnessed Bushbuck boasting exceptional trophies.

Since 2010, accommodation has been provided from a very comfortable camp located in the heart of the hunting area. This camp is powered by solar energy, both for refrigerators and freezers as well as lighting. It has a borehole for the water supply. Each tent is ventilated with an adjoining private bathroom. Our camp is located in the close vicinity of the Pendjari National Park on a large hill where the view is breathtaking.
