Pursuits Across the Plateaus of GAFSA: Hunting Seasons, Laws and Legislation, Demographics of Hunters Geographic Frame and Habitat Diversity in Tunisia Gafsa, located in southwestern Tunisia, is a rugged governorate defined by its semi-arid highlands, rocky plateaus, and narrow wadis that carve through the landscape. Unlike the sandy dunes of the deep south, Gafsa offers a mix of hard ground, sparse shrubbery, and steep elevations that make it a unique, though harsh, terrain for hunting.
