MOZAMBIQUE Hunting Information

Heard some people say bow hunting dangerous game in mozambique is legal and others say it’s not. So far just people talking but nothing solid. I’ve searched and searched and haven’t seen any evidence saying it’s not legal
 
I asked AI about legality of bowhunting in Moz.
Got some answer from AI, but I dont trust it. In any case I attached the law, who ever speaks Portuguese, can translate.

BOWHUNTING LEGALITY IN MOZAMBIQUE

The primary law that addresses hunting activities is the Law No. 16/2014, which was enacted on June 20, 2014.

I received an email about a bow hunt for one exportable bull and 5 non exportable cow buffalo in Mozambique yesterday and it WAS a bow hunt. I’ll see if I can find it again and get the details.
Looked to be in the south of the country.
 
Found it.

UPDATE:
I believe that Mozambique has now set the minimum legal caliber requirements for dangerous game to be .375 Holland & Holland Magnum. I have verified this information through 3 sources.
Have the Moz government bothered to publish this anywhere yet? I've been scouring the interwebs and I can't find a reference to it.

I went to the Moz website and this is my results, so I emailed them just to "see" if I get a reply.

Have heard mozambique doesn’t allow bow hunting for dangerous game? Lions and elephants. Is this correct?

Hello! I saw your post from last year about a missing crate from your hunt in Moz. I am curious how that all turned out? We (my fiancé and I) also hunted in Moz in 2024 and the trophies are being shipped with Hunters Services Limitada. We have some concerns on whether we will get the trophies home or not. May I ask who you hunted with?
