BLACK DEATH IN ZIM
Cape Buffalo Hunting in Zimbabwe
This area lies in south eastern Zimbabwe.
A famous area in terms of its conservation history, the Save Valley Conservancy formally a large network of cattle ranches and now one of Africa's premier wildlife areas.
Good Numbers of plains and dangerous game roam freely within the 350,000 hectare area, a true success for the conservation of hunting, our area of about 10 000 ha lies along the Msias River which acts as the lifeblood of the area throughout the year.
THE HUNTING
With a large area to cover, this concession is best hunted on foot, hunters will start out by moving to likely areas where the guides believe the intended species will be, from here playing to the wind the hunters will slowly move in an effort to find something to put a stalk on, for this to go well everything has to be right so patience is key.
Our main focus of this area is pursuing the famous cape buffalo either with archery or rifle gear. Our Professional Hunters were some of the early pioneers of bowhunting cape buffalo and have mastered the art of getting in close to these behemoths. Of Course in between chasing buff there is a good chance of coming across plains game such as Eland and Kudu in Particular.
