• Classic Zimbabwean Hunting Safaris: Zimbabwe offers exceptional opportunities for dangerous game and highly sought-after plains game species. We connect hunters with experienced PHs and safari companies for:

  • Dangerous Game: Zimbabwe is a top destination for thrilling hunts for Cape Buffalo and elusive Leopard. Excellent opportunities also exist for hunting Hippopotamus and Nile Crocodile in the major river systems like the Zambezi and its tributaries. Elephant hunting (often for large bulls) is available under strict quotas, however, U.S. hunters must be aware of potential USFWS import restrictions on trophies. (Note: Lion hunting availability is variable and subject to current regulations and quotas; please inquire for the latest status.)
  • Premier Plains Game: Zimbabwe is particularly famous for its outstanding trophy quality Sable Antelope. Hunts for Kudu, Eland, Waterbuck, Zebra, Impala, Wildebeest, Bushbuck, Klipspringer, Warthog, Bushpig, and various Duikers are also widely available. Roan Antelope may be found in specific concessions.

• Exciting Zambian Fishing Adventures: Cast into legendary African waters for powerful freshwater species. Let us connect you with top fishing lodges and guides for:

  • World-class Tigerfish angling on the mighty Zambezi River and the vast expanse of Lake Kariba.
  • Fishing for various species of Bream (Tilapia), large Vundu Catfish, Nembwe, and other native fish.
  • Opportunities for introduced species like bass in certain impoundments.

• Guided Wingshooting in Zimbabwe: Enhance your safari with classic African bird hunting. Opportunities exist for Dove, Pigeon, Sandgrouse, Francolin, Spurfowl, Guinea Fowl, and seasonal Waterfowl (ducks, geese) in suitable habitats, typically arranged in conjunction with a big game or plains game safari.

• Zimbabwe Adventure Travel & Wildlife Viewing:

  • Victoria Falls (Mosi-oa-Tunya): Witness the awe-inspiring "Smoke that Thunders" from the Zimbabwean side, offering panoramic views. Enjoy activities like helicopter flights, bungee jumping, sunset cruises on the Zambezi, and white-water rafting below the falls.
  • World-Class Wildlife Safaris: Experience exceptional game viewing in Hwange National Park (known for huge elephant herds and diverse predators), Mana Pools National Park (UNESCO site famous for walking and canoeing safaris along the Zambezi), and Matobo National Park (unique granite landscapes, rhino tracking, ancient rock art).
  • Lake Kariba: Enjoy houseboating, fishing, and game viewing along the shores of one of the world's largest man-made lakes.

My most memorable and rewarding experience.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International.
