Tajikistan - Marco Polo Argali
There is nothing ordinary and everything magical about hunting in Tajikistan.

Each hunt is a journey into a realm where the line between hunter and explorer blurs. The Pamirs feel like a surreal world wrapped in stark beauty, snowy peaks, and the ghosts of history – tales of Marco Polo, the explorer, forging into the unknown during the 13th century along what became known as the ancient Silk Road and the resilient Tajik tribes who still live in harmony with this raw land.

Caprinae Safaris has a long history of successful hunting in Tajikistan. Because Ovis and Capra hunts as are so strategically important to collectors and mountain hunters alike, we have been vigilant and selective in developing our Tajikistan hunt portfolio.

The winner will hunt for a Marco Polo of any size, without trophy surcharges, from one of our established trophy camps located in proven areas. Our local guiding teams are exceptionally skilled and believe in selective trophy hunting. They work diligently to locate rams of high trophy quality.

Caprinae Safaris has been operating successful Marco Polo hunts in Tajikistan for almost three (3) decades. Several Weatherby, Conklin Foundation, and SCI award winners have entrusted their Asian hunts to us. We are based in Antalya, Turkey, and our North American Office is run by our experienced partner, Pantheon Hunters, who will be a resource for you and assist with all hunt planning.
