The industry has demonstrated an impressive growth in recent years and is an important source of foreign exchange to Tanzania. 1.2 Introduction : Of all the African hunting countries, Tanzania is without a doubt the one that most stimulates the imagination of hunters and non hunters alike. This former German colony once known as Tanganyika became an English territory after the First World War. In 1964, along with new found independence, its' name was changed to Tanzania. (A.E. Cauldwell, 2004) The greatest hunters of the twentieth century have celebrated Tanzania, its wildlife and its hunting, as being among the most abundant on the African continent. The most famous of these great hunters include President Theodore Roosevelt whose safari in 1905 required nearly 300 porters, and Frederick Selous, arguably one of the greatest white hunters of all time, who at over sixty years of age lost his life in 1917 while fighting for the Africa he loved so well against the German Army. As for literature and film, they hold a special place for Tanzania, not the least of which is Hemingway's novels. (A.E. Cauldwell, 2004) (Wall B, 2006) Tanzania has long been considered the ultimate hunting safari destination in Africa. Fulfilling the dream of a traditional big game hunting safari, the likes of which so many hunters have read about, continues to be a big draw to Tanzania unspoiled wilderness. 18/Nov/2015 Page 3 Amin INVESTING IN THE HUNTING TOURISM INDUSTRY IN Sammour TANZANIA Tanzania enjoys a beautiful coastline along the Indian Ocean and shares borders with Kenya and Uganda to the north, Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo to the west, Zambia and Malawi to the southwest and Mozambique to the south; Tanzania is home to a wide range of African wildlife and still allows the hunting of four of the famous Big Five species; Elephant, Lion, Buffalo and Leopard. And it's no wonder with over 40 species to hunt. (Wall B, 2006) Since 1988, the regulation of increasing numbers of private sector outfitters has been undertaken by the Government Department of Wildlife. As a result, Tanzania's tourist hunting industry has grown considerably in the last few years. In Tanzania today, wildlife enterprise is widely considered a viable development strategy for income-poor communities in wildlife-rich areas. Wildlife enterprise has complex goals and is expected to provide financial and other benefits as well as incentive to conserve local wildlife. As a result, tourist hunting plays an important role in the areas because many areas are either too remote or cannot provide highly visible wildlife populations, or do not to compete with prime game viewing areas. Therefore tourist hunting is the most economically viable form of wildlife utilization. As also it plays an important role in the economic development of many remote areas. Without the income generated from tourist hunting, many important wildlife areas would cease to be viable. So it is a better choice to invest business about tourist hunting in Tanzania. (Wall B, 2006) There are many well established hunting companies that usually hold many hunting blocks and whom provide outstanding professional service, uncompromising quality of superbly equipped and comfortable tent camps and well maintained four-wheel drive custom designed safari 18/Nov/2015 Page 4 Amin INVESTING IN THE HUNTING TOURISM INDUSTRY IN Sammour TANZANIA hunting vehicles. The temporary camps/facilities are erected prior to the start of the hunting season and removed in accordance with the hunting regulations at the end of the season. All include electricity and often modern communications such as satellite phone, even satellite TV as well. The western style cuisine is often of high quality. For the Selous and the central and western areas, the hunting territories can only be reached by plane. The flight from the capital, Dar-es-salaam, is on average one and a half to two and a half hours.For the Masai land, hunting areas are reached by car from Arusha, a journey that normally requires three to four hours. 1.3 Background of Study : Tourist hunting has already developed over a long period in Tanzania, and it is the main income for vast areas of the country. In recent year, the industry of tourist hunting has demonstrated an impressive growth and it is also an important source of foreign exchange to Tanzania. There are over 130 hunting concessions in Tanzania, which covers an area in excess of 250,000 km2, also they are leased to outfitters licensed to conduct tourist hunting. Besides, there are more than 60 species can be hunted on a tourist-hunting license. As a form of land use, tourist hunting generates significant income for local communities involved in community-based natural resource management as well as for national economies of these countries. Under appropriate governance and institutions conservation hunting has been a powerful tool used to promote conservation and rural development and thus improve the livelihoods of local communities. (Frost and Bond, 2006, Taylor, 2009) There are two types of hunting which are legally recognized in Tanzania. These are tourist hunting and resident hunting. Tourist hunting takes place in Game Reserves, Game Controlled 18/Nov/2015 Page 5 Amin INVESTING IN THE HUNTING TOURISM INDUSTRY IN Sammour TANZANIA Areas, and Open Areas and in Forest Reserves. Resident hunting takes place in Game Controlled Areas and Open Areas not allocated to tourist hunting. According to the Wildlife Act of 1974, all hunters are required to obtain a valid hunting license or written authority which is issued upon fulfilling conditions e.g. the applicant has attained age of 18 years, posses a valid firearm license in respect of the firearm intended to be used in hunting and that he has a reasonable knowledge of the use of a firearm for the purpose of game hunting. Land and wildlife in Tanzania is owned by the government. No hunting is allowed without the permission of the government, in this case the Wildlife Division in the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism. Hunting of wildlife without permission is illegal. (Nyiti, 2008) Tanzania has over 140 hunting concessions covering an area in excess of 250,000 km² that are leased to outfitters licensed to conduct tourist hunting. These concessions are distributed throughout the country either in Game Reserves, Forest Reserves, Game Controlled Areas or Open Areas. Hunting is not allowed in National Parks, Ngorongoro Conservation Area or within 1 km of the boundary of these areas. The hunting areas can naturally be divided into three greater ecosystems, namely Masailand, Selous / Coastal and the Western Tanzania ecosystem. These areas each have their differences and unique values which relate to advantages and disadvantages. 1. Masailand Ecosystem – This area has the advantage of having Arusha centrally located within, where many hunting outfitters and the tourist industry generally are based. Also the proximity of many National Parks and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area ensures there is plenty of wildlife. It is a low rainfall area where the major habitats are Acacia woodlands and dry open grasslands. 18/Nov/2015 Page 6 Amin INVESTING IN THE HUNTING TOURISM INDUSTRY IN Sammour TANZANIA Specialized species for Masailand include gerenuk, oryx, gazelles and Coke’s hartebeest, but there is general scarcity of lion available for hunting. 2. Selous / Coastal Ecosystem – Most hunting here is concentrated in and around the Selous Game Reserve which is renowned for its generally high wildlife populations and abundant hunting opportunities. This area offers good elephant trophies, while the other specialized species is Rooseveldt’s sable. The most prominent habitat is mixed Acacia – miombo woodlands. The area is however characterized by many small hunting concessions with many different operators, attributed to relatively easy access from Dar es Salaam. 3. Western Tanzania Ecosystem – These areas are remote, but characterized by large concessions. These are generally high rainfall areas where the major habitats are Miombo woodlands and wetlands. Many wildlife populations have been reduced through illegal harvesting, but nevertheless most species offer higher quality trophies than elsewhere. There is a wide diversity of species available for hunting, with specialized species including Sitatunga, roan, oribi and Lichtenstein’s hartebeest.

  • Life of Frederick Courtenay Selous, D.S.O. Capt
    LIFE OF FREDERICK COURTENAY SELOUS, D.S.O. CAPT. 25TH ROYAL FUSILIERS Chapter XI - XV BY J. G. MILLAIS, F.Z.S. CHAPTER XI 1906-1907 In April, 1906, Selous went all the way to Bosnia just to take the nest and eggs of the Nutcracker, and those who are not naturalists can scarcely understand such excessive enthusiasm. This little piece of wandering, however, seemed only an incentive to further restlessness, which he himself admits, and he was off again on July 12th to Western America for another hunt in the forests, this time on the South Fork of the MacMillan river. On August 5th he started from Whitehorse on the Yukon on his long canoe-journey down the river, for he wished to save the expense of taking the steamer to the mouth of the Pelly. He was accompanied by Charles Coghlan, who had been with him the previous year, and Roderick Thomas, a hard-bitten old traveller of the North- West. Selous found no difficulty in shooting the rapids on the Yukon, and had a pleasant trip in fine weather to Fort Selkirk, where he entered the Pelly on August 9th. Here he was lucky enough to kill a cow moose, and thus had an abundance of meat to take him on the long up-stream journey to the MacMillan mountains, which could only be effected by poling and towing. On August 18th he killed a lynx. At last, on August 28th, he reached a point on the South Fork of the MacMillan, where it became necessary to leave the canoe and pack provisions and outfit up to timber-line.

  • The Fourth Industrial Revolution and the Recolonisation of Africa; The
    The Fourth Industrial Revolution and the Recolonisation of Africa This book argues that the fourth industrial revolution, the process of accelerated automation of traditional manufacturing and industrial practices via digital technology, will serve to further marginalise Africa within the international community. In this book, the author argues that the looting of Africa that started with human capital and then natural resources, now continues unabated via data and digital resources looting. Developing on the notion of “Coloniality of Data”, the fourth industrial revolution is postulated as the final phase which will con- clude Africa’s peregrination towards (re)colonisation. Global cartels, networks of coloniality, and tech multinational corporations have turned big data into capital, which is largely unregulated or poorly regulated in Africa as the con- tinent lacks the strong institutions necessary to regulate the mining of data. Written from a decolonial perspective, this book employs three analytical pillars of coloniality of power, knowledge, and being. Highlighting the crippling continuation of asymmetrical global power relations, this book will be an important read for researchers of African studies, politics, and international political economy.

He was the eighth of ten chil- dren. He was initially sent to Garsington Rectory in Oxford- shire to study under the Reverend H.J. Graham but, unlike his older brothers who graduated from various Public Schools, he ended up attending Ipswich Grammar School. This was be- cause his father, who regarded him as somebody who was not going to amount to much, could no longer afford to maintain his expensive private education. After failing his army entrance exam he was sent to a private ‘crammer’ in London to prepare for the entrance exam for the British Foreign Office, which in the end he never sat. Instead Haggard’s father sent him to Africa in an unpaid position as assistant to the secretary to the Lieutenant-Governor of Natal, Sir Henry Bulwer. It was in this role that Haggard was present in Pretoria for the official an- nouncement of the British annexation of the Boer Republic of the Transvaal. In fact, Haggard raised the Union Flag and was forced to read out much of the proclamation following the loss of voice of the official originally entrusted with the duty. As a young man, Haggard fell deeply in love with Lilith Jackson, whom he intended to marry once he obtained paid employment in South Africa. In 1878 he became Registrar of the High Court in the Transvaal, but when he sent his father a letter telling him that he intended to return to England in order to marry Li- lith Jackson his father replied that he forbade it until he had made a career for himself.

I was in Botswana, at the headquarters of the Secretariat of the Kavango Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (a mouthful and a half; henceforth, KAZA TFCA), and I had apparently made myself known. Yes, I was a visitor and a student. A visitor to the basins of the Okavango and Zambezi rivers in the southern African interior, to the sovereign nation-states of Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. A visitor to offices, to farms, to sites of World Heritage, to habitats, and to homes. A student of the KAZA TFCA that those nations had established—along with Angola, a country I did not visit—and of the many relationships such an institution requires, affects, effects, and constrains. A student of history and of geography, trained to study patterns and processes across time and space. A student of multiple modes and methods of social analysis, from close reading against the grain to ethnography in its multicultural and multispecies varieties.

  • Roosevelt Nannte Ihn “Den Größten Großwildjäger Der Welt”— Sein Name: Frederick Courteney Selous
    GESCHICHTE Großwildjäger und Naturalist Frederick C. Selous EineEine afrikanischeafrikanische LegendeLegende Kein Geringerer als der ehemalige US-Präsident Teddy Roosevelt nannte ihn “den größten Großwildjäger der Welt”— sein Name: Frederick Courteney Selous. Dr. R. D. Baldus, Dr. L. Siege und S. Numßen us heutiger Sicht wird die Benennung Groß- A wildjäger oft negativ verstanden, damals galt sie als Kompliment. Tatsächlich war Selous nie ein großer Jäger in dem Sinne, daß er riesige Strecken er- zielte oder daß er besonderen Erfolg auf der Jagd nach seltenen Trophäen hatte. Eher war er das, was man derzeit Naturalist nannte. Seine Elefantenstrecke ist im damaligen Maßstab bescheiden: In 25 Jahren Archiv Selous, B. M. Gerald Baldus, D. Rolf von Fotos brachte er es auf 106, darunter keinen einzigen 100- Pfünder. Seine Berühmtheit hat andere Gründe: Er lebte und wirkte in einer Zeit, in der die Erforschung und Kolonisierung Afrikas durch die europäischen Mächte in ihre entscheidende Phase trat. Und Selous traf mit seinen Büchern den Nerv der Zeit, sie mach- ten ihn im englischsprachigen Raum zu einem der populärsten Reise- und Abenteuerschriftsteller. on Kindesbeinen an: Frederick C. Selous wurde V Ende 1851 als Sohn wohlhabender Eltern in Lon- don geboren. Er las schon als Kind mit Begeisterung alle Bücher, die Afrika betrafen, darunter die Werke von David Livingstone und Richard Burton (nein, nicht der Schauspieler), aber auch die der Jagdschrift- steller Cornwallis Harris oder William Finnaughty.Ab 1866 besuchte Selous Rugby, eine Eliteschule Eng- lands, wo er sich weniger durch akademische als durch sportliche Erfolge hervortat. Damals versteckte er in einer Scheune ein KK-Gewehr, um damit Getier für die naturkundliche Gesellschaft der Schule zu erbeu- ten, deren Vorsitzender er war.
