A company formed to provide tourism and safari trails.
It now focuses on managing Coutada 12.
This hunting ground, with an area of 2713 km2, is located in the
centre of the country, north of Sofala Province, and includes the
well-known Marromeu Complex, with the renowned Zambezi River as its
northern border.
This is an area rich in open forests, with very little population
and great natural beauty, dominated in the north by Panga-panga
savannas, and by Miombo savannas in the centre and south.
Nyala Safaris primarily provides hunting tourism:
- activities, through safari hunting for international tourists
(mostly North Americans and Europeans), advertised in major
international hunting fairs;
- conservation activities both of wildlife resources (mainly
through permanent organised anti-poaching monitoring teams), which
has had the outcome of a significant rise both in animal
populations that had been almost completely decimated during the
civil war, and in forest resources.
In Coutada 12, dozens of animal species have been identified, from
the small Livingston Suni to the elephant. Large herds of buffalo
(about 10,000 across the entire Marromeu complex) palapalas, nyalas
and other antelopes that live in the Coutada where predators also
roam, including lions, leopards and hyena.
