Can a Canadian become a Professional Hunter anywhere in Africa?

[odunlap]

If so, which countries allow it, and what are the steps or requirements?

Welcome to AH, a thread in the Intro&Greets forum to say a bit more about yourself would be a good idea.

To answer your question to some degree, yes a foreign born individual can become a PH in at least a few countries. Tanzania has American PHs as well as others not born in Tanzania. Mozambique, Zambia and Cameroon are others that I believe will allow non-citizens to PH. As for the requirements, that I do not know.

There are other countries where it is not possible, Zimbabwe and RSA come to mind, presuming nothing has changed there.

This is a good question for @spike.t and @BULLET SAFARIS.

There are some threads in this subject of people from that side wanting to become phs...try looking for them in the search function

I have a coworker from Tanzania and he recommends I look at Mozambique
This is the form letter that you get , a language barrier is a small obstacle
Also they are very vague about whether my USCG captains license would be valid to pilot a barge

a professional hunter in Mozambique, one needs a valid professional hunting card, a firearm license, and a hunting license. Additionally, individuals require a certificate from a recognized institution and may need to apply for a CITES permit for certain species. Foreign hunters also need a valid passport and may require a visa.

Detailed Requirements:

• Professional Hunting Card: This card certifies that the holder has the necessary qualifications and experience to operate as a professional hunter in Mozambique.
  
  
• Firearm License: A license to use and carry firearms is required.
  
  
• Hunting License: A general hunting license, plus a license for each species you intend to hunt, is necessary.
  
  
• Age Requirement: Must be 18 years or older.
  
  
• Passport: For foreign hunters, a certified scanned copy of their passport is required.
  
  
• Photographs: Two passport-sized photos are needed.
  
  
• ID/Passport Copy: A copy of a national ID for citizens or a copy of the passport for foreign citizens.
  
  
• CITES Permit: A CITES permit may be required for certain species, including elephant and leopard.
  
  
• Declaration of Fitness: A declaration stating the applicant is mentally fit and free from physical deficiencies that might compromise safety.
  
  
• Firearm Information: Provide details of the firearm (make, caliber, serial number).
