as almost pest species and prolific numbers of Doves and
Pigeons will almost guarantee excellent flighted sport.

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.

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.

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.
