MOZAMBIQUE Hunting Information

[Hunter-Habib]

Can local residents currently hunt in Mozambique ? It’s a question which I’ve never thought about until now.

The ministery of foreign affairs of my home country Austria has a travel warning for northern region of Moçambique- Cabo Delgado, specially Pemba but also Niassa is named.
So I had a look to the same site of US ministery- the same warning.
I‘ m thankful for informations from hunters who traveled this region- specially Niassa via Pemba.
I‘m interested to hunt there, but don‘t want to take more risks than other African Safari countries

It seams it is possible.

Is it legal to bring and use a silencer/surpressor to/in Mozambique?

I can't seem to find the information in this thread, and there are others where the question is asked, eg https://www.africahunting.com/threads/silencers.71123/ but the answers turns to as if it can be brought in and out of the US, traveling through other countries, and stating that is it legal in eg SA or Namibia. All perhaps valid answers but not relevant for the question: can it be brought to and used in Mozambique.

Hopefully somebody knows, preferably with a link to some official documents.

I don’t know of the official documents but, I do know that there were people in camp that used them on their rifles while I was there this past October.

Thanks. Were they foreigners (I assume they were, but eg in Poland, foreigners are not allowed but Polish are allowed for boars)?

Yes, they were American. Their show blue collar adventures is on YouTube. You may be able to watch it.

Great, thanks, found the video, where it's shown they hunt with silencers, so that's a good sign.

I would still get the facts first, rather than relying on what's been done by others. A lot goes on at airports in Mozambique . . . not all of it strictly legal, and you don't know when you're going to run into an officer who is more officious than is actually necessary.

When I arrived at Tete, I had help to clear my rifle (no suppressor) and it still took a fair amount of time, a fair amount of paperwork, and lots of stamps and signatures. I saw others who were trying to accomplish this alone and ran into one of them as I was leaving. He told me they spent the better part of a day trying to sort things out.

You can run into the same thing at roadblocks. We were stopped and being given some trouble, and our driver had the phone number of the boss, who dealt with the officer. Others, who didn't have the phone number, were delayed for some time.

Tete is the slowest. No sense of urgency.
