I think you've made a good decision in wanting to hunt in a true wilderness area....... and nothing is better than that experience.

If you want Buff and sable then you either need to rule out Tanzania bacause sable only occur on longer licences or you need to accept a high cost for the same reason. The good news is that if you do go for a long licence, you get an awful lot of other species on it as well. Someone mentioned split licences for Tanzania. Technically, these are illegal and I'd recommend you avoid that. Sure they happen but they're not to be relied on. Tanzania has 4 sets of game laws and although they contradict each other in some/many aspects, they're all very clear on that issue. - If you even want to discuss that particula subject, I suggest you don't do it on a public forum.

Mozambique might be a good option for you, but you need to be very cautious about who you book with and where you book. It really is cowboy country up there and whilst there are some very good, well established guys operating in the country, there are also some very dodgy buggers. Try to stick to the coutadas and with companies that have been operating there for a long time.

Regarding taking a PH from another (African presumably?) country..... cover hunting is fairly common practice in many African countries but it really depends on which 2 African countries are involved and will also depend on the outfitter involved.
