How a Day on a Zimbabwe Hunt Works
Coffee before first light, then out with your PH, tracker and game scout to check waterholes and cut tracks. Most stalks are on foot. Midday is for lunch and rest in camp; the afternoon hunt runs until dark. Evenings are around the fire, with dinner and the day's stories.

Hunting Safari FAQ

Can I bring my own rifle?

Can non-hunters come along?
Yes. Observers pay $250 per night. See non-hunter and family options.
Can I import my trophies to the USA or EU?
Most plains game, yes. Elephant, leopard and some other species need CITES and import permits, and rules change. See the trophy export guide.
