Swanepoel and Scandrol Safaris can provide an excellent safari for Giant/Lord Derby Eland in our new blocks in the northern and southeastern regions of the Central African Republic. The northern area is approximately 500,000 hectares and the southeastern is over 750,000 hectares. These areas are excellent for Giant Eland, Western Roan, North Western Buffalo, Lelwels Hartebeest, Red Flanked Duiker, Nigerian Bohor reedbuck and Oribi, with Western Cob and Sing-Sing Waterbuck as well. A 100% success rate has been averaged for the past years, with about 80% of our Eland going over 50 inches in size.
The area is well developed with roads, which gives access to the area’s remote parts, making hunting easier. We have our own anti-poaching team which operates all year with great success. The efforts of these internally funded, anti-poaching initiatives have resulted in greatly expanding populations of all the available species in the area.
All camps are very comfortable and meals and beverages are of a first class standard. For hunting we use Toyota vehicles both Landcruiser and Hi Lux 4 wheel drive. These vehicles are air-conditioned for comfort and work extremely well in the savannah terrain.
Arrival and departure is from the Capital Bangui, where a company representative will meet you and take through customs, then a 1hour 45 minute charter flight to the hunting area. The airstrip is 5km from camp.
The Professional Hunters for these safaris will be Doug Scandrol, Dave Rademeyer and Andre Roux, who have extensive experience in hunting these species.
