Boehm's Zebra hunting in Mozambique

Hunting Boehm's Zebra, a subspecies of the Plains Zebra, is popular among game hunters in Mozambique due to its striking black-and-white stripe patterns and the challenge it presents in the wild. Mozambique's vast savannahs and grasslands, particularly in areas like the Niassa Reserve and the northern Coutada hunting blocks, offer an ideal habitat for these Zebras. The process of hunting Boehm's Zebra typically involves guided safaris, where experienced trackers and hunters navigate the terrain, often on foot or in safari vehicles. The zebra is known for its alertness and speed, making it a challenging target for hunters. Hunting Zebras in Mozambique is not just a sport but also a means of supporting local communities. Fees paid by hunters often go towards anti-poaching initiatives and conservation projects. Moreover, meat and resources from hunted Zebras are frequently distributed among local communities, contributing to food security and local livelihoods. Balancing tourism, conservation, and responsible hunting practices is key to maintaining Mozambique’s wildlife heritage. Boehm’s Zebra, also known as Grant’s Zebra is listed under Plains Zebra as a species of least concern by the IUCN and only a Mozambican hunting licence is required to shoot a Zebra
