Rob has been in the Safari Industry for 26 years. He owns and runs Rob Lurie Safaris with his wife and partner of 20 years, Michelle. They have two teenage children, Josh16 and Abbi 14. Their family are all avid outdoor enthusiasts and they enjoy time together as a family, hunting fishing, camping and exploring their beautiful home country Zimbabwe as well as their neighboring African countries.

Rob’s passion is to show visitors to Africa the true beauty and meaning of “Safari” with memories made that last forever. The service Rob provides to his clients is very personal , as is shown by his repeat customers. He prides himself on tailor made bespoke safaris, taking care of his clients from the day they meet and discuss a potential safari until all the trophies are back and hanging on the wall or adorning trophy rooms.

Being a small family business both Rob and Michelle are involved in every part of it from the time you arrive to the time you leave to go home. We cater to all your specific needs, tastes and likes. Everything that is going to happen on the safari is laid out in front of you before hand - there are no surprises.

Born in Chinhoyi, Zimbabwe in April 1976, Rob grew up hunting, fishing and just being in the bush in Zimbabwe on various farms and citizen hunting concessions. He had a passion for the bush and wildlife and the thrill of the chase from an early age. This led to him entering the Safari Industry after completing his A-Levels at a private school based in Harare and pursuing his dream of becoming a Professional Hunter & Guide.

Rob has a vast wealth of knowledge of the bush, wildlife, birds and trees. He holds a full Professional Hunters & Guides License in Zimbabwe and he has hunted extensively all over Zimbabwe. Rob’s specialty and passion is Bug Cat hunting along with Elephant & Buffalo followed closely by the aquatic hunting of Hippo and Crocodile.

Rob is extremely passionate about his work and this is what makes him the successful Hunter & Guide he is today.

Rob is actively involved with the Z.P.G.A (Zimbabwe Professional Guides Association) and is the current Chairman as well as being an examiner for the association that works alongside our local Nations Parks Authority that issue the Hunting & Guiding Licenses.

Rob operates in Zimbabwe but he can also assist with booking and planning of hunts to other African countries.

Rob is also a life member of Dallas Safari Club (DSC) and the African Professional Hunters Association (APHA)

Safaria Tanzania

After 25 years of partnership with different company in some of the best places of Tanzania, SAFARIA has now his own areas. Three hunting concessions have been allocated to SAFARIA for the 10 coming years. Those three areas are located on some of the most famous hunting grounds of Tanzania: The Selous Game Reserve, Rungwa Game Reserve and Masai Land. Those very different places will allow you to collect almost all species available in the country and enjoy very different landscape.

Faithful to its principles SAFARIA, is dedicated to organize custom-made trips in order to allow everybody to get closer to their dreams. Key words for Safaria camp and organization will be always Refinement, charm and Authenticity.

Safaria Tanzania

Après avoir chassé en Tanzanie pendant prêt de 25 ans avec différents partenaires sur les endroits phares du pays SAFARIA est maintenant en mesure de vous recevoir sur les trois concessions qui lui ont été amodiées pour les dix années à venir ( 2023-2033 ). Ces trois zones, situées dans le Selous à Rungwa et au Pays Masai, vous permettront de pouvoir chasser la quasi-totalité des espèces présentes dans ce qui reste une des plus belles destinations de chasse au monde.

Fidéle à ses principes, SAFARIA s’emploie à personnaliser les séjours afin que chacun puisse vivre une expèrience à la hauteur de ses rêves. Raffinement, charme et authenticité restant les maîtres mots pour les camps mais aussi pour toute l’organisation.

Uganda is located on the East African Plateau, averaging about 1,100 meters (3,600 feet) above sea level, which slopes steadily downwards to the Sudanese Plain to the North. Much of the South is poorly drained, while the center is dominated by Lake Kyoga and surrounding marshy areas.

Hunting Season

Our hunting season is from January throughout to December. It rains all year round (which is why the country is so lush) with slightly more rain on average in May/June and October/November. However, the rainfall varies from year-to-year. Some species move with the rain, but we will do our best to make every safari a success. The best time to hunt Buffalo is during the months of December to end of June. After that the grass is high and hunting buffalo becomes challenging. All other species can be hunted year-round.

Kafu River Basin (KA)

The Kafu River Basin stretches along Lake Kyoga, Kafu & Mayanja Rivers and covers the six districts of Nakaseke, Nakasongola, Kiboga, Kyankwanzi, Kiryandongo and Masindi covering about 420,000 hectares. The landscape in Kafu consists mainly of Papyrus swamps and dense bush thickets making it a prime hunting ground for the East African Sitatunga, East African Bush Duiker, Eastern Bohor Reedbuck, Nile Bushbuck East African, Uganda Defassa Waterbuck, Leopard, Common Oribi and Bush Pig.

We hunt in Kafu from January to December. This is the best concession for big Sitatunga. Our average horn length on Sitatunga is 25 inches with quite a few bulls taken in the 29 to 31.5-inch range over the years.

Aswa Lolim Ranches (AL)

The former Aswa-Lolim Wildlife Reserve was degazetted under Idi Amin in the 70s. It covers the sub-counties of Purongo, Alero, Anaka and Koch-Goma. Although many commercial farmers have settled in this prime hunting ground, it is still realistic to get Nile Buffalo, Uganda Kob, Hartebeest, Waterbuck, Oribi and warthog. Aswa-Lolim lies on the eastern side of the Nile. It covers 45,000 hectares and share a 110 km direct border with Murchison Falls National Park in the South and about 78 km with the Nile in the West. The landscape is dominated by light rolling grass hills with palm trees, small valleys with creeks and light forest. Near the river you find dense forests and large stretches of papyrus swamps. We hunt in Aswa-Lolim from January to end of April/May. The Sitatunga hunting takes place year-round.

Accommodation In Kampala And In The Field

Upon arrival at Entebbe Airport (Airport Code: EBB) and departure, depending on your flight schedule, you will be accommodated in a good three-star hotel in Kampala. Our staff picks you up at the airport and drops you off. Your lodging in the field will be either in traditional East African safari tents (Kafu Blocks & Karamoja) or traditional grass thatched tented bungalows (Mayanja Lodge) serviced for by trained staff.

Our field cooks provide three solid meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) per day. The cooking in our restaurant samples different kitchens such as Indian, African, German, Italian and Chinese. All our camps & lodges are semi-permanent structures equipped with 24/7 power supply and satellite internet. The internet can only be used for emails and Skype calls.
