of April these are treated as almost pest species and prolific
numbers of Doves and Pigeons will almost guarantee excellent
flighted sport. Early morning stalking for local bushpigs
is not to be missed, these wily pigs are not an easy quarry
and a client will do well to fill his bag limit. Rifles
and Shotguns can be supplied although arrangements can be
made for clients to bring their own. We arrange all licenses
and local permissions as part of the package.
Les Paletuviers offers two separate
sites , the Main larger hotel at Toubakota on the mainland
with a shooting preserve of 30,000 hectares and myriad different
creeks and Bolongs . Or the Isle de Paletuviers which is situated
on a 20,000 hectare island fringed on one side by the Atlantic
and on the other by the still calm waters of Sipo creek.

Fish and Wildlife. Situated in the Senegalese village of Toubakota,
Le Paletuviers is perfectly placed to offer the traveling
sportsman and his family the chance to combine first class
fishing and shooting with a truly idyllic relaxing holiday.
Offering
shooting and tracking over more than 50,000 hectares , the
hotel offers the truly wild shooting experience , none of
your quarry are reared or fed in , So this is a venue for
the true sportsman.
The ethics of the management dictate that all National bag
limits and shooting codes are strictly adhered to, and as
such the client may take up to 2 Bushpigs (warthogs) and 1
Hyena per week. These are normally taken by tracking with
your own personal guide, most shots are between 20-100mts
and taken running. 270s are the preferred weapon of choice
and the hotel has a good selection of weapons although importing
your own is not a problem. Only Male Bushpigs can be taken,
with most trophies being in the 100kg range although animals
up to 160kg have been recorded.
Do not be fooled, this is not easy
shooting with a great deal of stealth and concentration being
required to get yourself into position for the perfect shot.
These Pigs are truly wild and the clumsy hunter will come
away empty handed.
Whilst out shooting, each Hunter
and his companions are provided with their own personal vehicle
and will have the freedom to hunt wherever his tracker feels
offers the best chance on the day.
Bird shooting offers a relaxing release
from the tension of stalking, Francolin, Guinea fowl, Green
Pigeon and Doves are all in abundance and offer good sport
towards dusk. National Bag limits are 25 head per gun per
day. Several hire guns are available and Cartridges can also
be supplied although they are more expensive than in the Uk.
