"Late April 2022 I hunted the forest of Cameroon with Mayo Older Safaris for one of the greatest animals I believe that was ever created. The Bongo, I had dreamed of this hunt ever since I was 7 or 8 years old. arriving in the freshly built Bumba North camp I knew we were going to be taken care of. The accommodations deep in the forest were fabulous and the food was actually pretty damn good considering where we were. Although it took a few extra days 8 to be exact we finally connected on a monster of a bull bongo stretching the tape to 30" being more than I could ever ask for. I will return to the forest of Cameroon with Mayo hopefully sooner than later in search of the elusive forest species we did not get." McKenzie Sims
WELCOME TO MAYO OLDIRI SAFARIS
Since 1997, we have been offering outstanding hunts for species that you can only find in very few countries throughout Africa!
We are the biggest hunting company in Cameroon with more than one million ha of hunting area. Therefore, we have more trophies and can provide better success than anybody else, as hunters can move from one area to another during their safari, looking for the best opportunities.
Hunt in the wild African rain forest! Be surprised by elephants and gorillas! Follow the tracks of the majestic Lord Derby Eland in the savannah! Go for a unique and unforgettable hunting experience with Mayo Oldiri, the leader in Cameroon hunting!
Let us introduce you to "Mayo Oldiri Safaris" with two kinds of truly African hunts: forest and savannah. Since 1997, we have been offering outstanding hunts, starting with our first savannah camp "Mayo Oldiri", and later with "Mayo Nduell", "Mayo Vaimba" and "Djibao". Our savannah areas are located in the North of Cameroon, between the National Parks Boubandjida and La Benoue. You can expect to run into the famous Lord Derby Eland as well as a herd of elephants, Western roans, North Western buffalos and a lot of different antelope - species you can only find in very few countries throughout Africa!
In our forest areas, you can find an incredible number of bongos and forest sitatungas with the best quality trophies. Are you looking for outstanding forest elephant or the challenging dwarf buffalo? Our concessions are your place to go! We also offer forest duikers and giant forest hog. Today, we have several forest camps: "Boumba" (North, South & West), "Lognia", "Lokomo", "Covaref" (1 & 6), which is bordering two National Parks, namely Boumba Bek and Lokomo in the Southeastern corner of the country.
As a reference, Mayo Oldiri is happy to name very famous international hunters such as Peter Flack, Craig Boddington, Jim Shockey, Mike Rogers, Bela Hidvegi, Dennis Campbell on our list of clients, as well as Weatherby award winners such as Hector Cuellar, Alexander Egorov, Federico Sada, José Madrazo, Rene Snider, Ed Yates, Kennet Barr, to name a few.
We are the biggest hunting company in Cameroon with more than one million ha of hunting territory. Therefore, we have more trophies and can provide better success than anybody else - as hunters can move from one area to another during their safari, looking for the best opportunities due to the fact that some camps are better suited for some species then others. The savannah season goes from Christmas to mid-April, with the best time for eland in the early season.
The forest season goes from April to end-July, with any time being good as this is the rainy season.
