Tanzania is home to some of the finest and widest variety of species in Africa for both big game and plain game hunting which together with its large and remote wilderness habitat combine to make the country a favoured premier safari destination for classic tented camp safaris and the country is considered to be the jewel of African Tourist hunting.

The country has over 200,000 square kilometers committed to wildlife protection covering National Parks, Game Reserves, Game Controlled Areas, Wildlife Management Areas and Open Areas on village lands.

Hunting is carried out in all these areas except the National Parks where hunting or any form of human activity is strictly prohibited.
