Our Story
We fell in love with the African continent during our
honeymoon, and the idea of one day being able to build a
piece of our history there was born.
The adventure began 8 years ago with the acquisition of a
hunting concession in Cameroon. The area is located in the
northern part of the country, in savannah, on the border
with CAR and on the edge of the Vina River.
A real corner of paradise where we rub shoulders with the
endemic species of Cameroon including the largest
antelope in the world: the Lord Derby Eland.
Since then, our passion has remained intact, our ambitions
growing and our desire to pass on our knowledge has been overflowing. It is a family and united project that we are
building.

Our area in savannah
Cameroon
Wildlife Sanctuary
VINA 27 SAFARI is the perfect place for animals to grow and a wonderful area to encounter Cameroonian typical and endemic animals, such as:
Lord Derby Elands, Roan Antelopes,
West African Savannah Buffalos,
Sing Sing Waterbucks, Hippopotamus,
And a lot more ....
Our main concern lies in the survival of the species
and their development in their natural cocoon.
To achieve this target, our team of 14 eco-guards
works hard throughout the year to protect the area:
limit the harmful passage of cows in transit,
identify as many traps as possible set by
poachers, night ambushes and catch as
many poachers as possible (day & night).
For 8 years we have been able
to witness a booming of our
populations.
Hunting Safaris
Cameroon is well-known for hunting in West Africa, especially with its Majestic Lord Derby Eland.
The hunting area is located within 130 000 hectares which represents one of the biggest hunting area in Cameroon.

Taxidermy Services
Our team of 2 experienced skinners: Nana & Anafi
are available all along the safaris (7/7 - 24/24)
to take great care of the trophies right after
the hunts of the animals.
Upon arrival of the animals at the Taxidermy area,
guidelines are given by the PH and the client.
Once instructions are given, then the precision
work can start, sometimes for several
hours, and very often in the middle
of the night.
Luxury Accomodation
Overlooking the Vina, the terrace offers a breathtaking view of the horizon and its incredible sunsets.
Our camp is nestled in a green setting to bring you all the freshness you appreciate after long days in the bush under the African sun.
4 typical boukarous are at your disposal to offer you maximum comfort: air-conditioning, toilet and private bathroom with hot water, a large bed equipped with a mosquito net, daily linen service...

share meals.
Much more than the fulfillment of a dream,
a unique experience

Our Local Involvement
Village School
Soram Boum
The primary school in the village adjoining the area welcomes more than 200 children, divided into 4 classes.
As elsewhere in Africa, teaching conditions are rudimentary.
Supporting education is important to us.
Recently, we have repainted the classrooms as well as the tables and benches so that everyone can have a healthy and serene workspace.
Youth Festival
Every year on February 11, the Youth Day takes place.
It marks the importance and rights of young people in the country.
This year, we had the pleasure of being able to participate in this unique event which brought together more than 15 villages.
Our funding helped help organize this memorable day.
Partnership with
the MINFOF
In partnership with MINFOF, we regularly organize punch operations in our area.
Military teams are joining forces with our anti-poaching team to reinforce our presence and thus deter any type of unauthorized intrusion into the area.
Fish Farming
Project
We are innovating this year with the establishment of a fish farm in partnership with the closest village of the area:
Soram Boum.
4 bins of 5m3 will be settled on the banks of the Vina in the coming months.
The start-up expenses (equipment, training of local communities, construction of a caretaker's house, etc.) will be financed by the redistribution of the leasing tax.
The annual profit is estimated at 7,200,000 CFA or the equivalent of 4,200 kg of fish supplied to the village.
