EXCEPTIONAL HUNTING IN ZIMBABWE'S OMAY CONCESSION

York and I, Dalton, have been lifelong friends and professional hunting partners for many years. We have had the priviledge of sharing camps and experiences for over a decade, and we have more than 10 years of combined professional hunting experience across Zimbabwe, Cameroon, and Mozambique. We share a passion and deep connection with Africa's wilderness and wildlife. We adore the challenging Zambezi Valley, renowned for its unpredictable terrain and some of Zimbabwe's most untamed big game, making it the perfect environment to enjoy unforgettable game hunting safaris. 

We formed a company with the objective to make every client's dream African hunting safari, a reality. Through shared values, friendship, and a commitment to excellence, we have the priviledge of doing just that: Watching and guiding hunters as they enjoy a true African hunting safari. Through meticulous preparation, unwavering dedication, and a focus on client satisfaction, we aim to ensure that every hunt is not only successful, but also immensely enjoyable.

My journey into professional hunting began at a young age. My father was an avid hunter and my cousins and I grew up in the bush, learning about hunting and conversation from a young age. I learnt how to track, shoot, and navigate the wilderness and qualified as a Zimbabwean Professional Hunter at 21 years old. 

I am a firm believer in the traditional “fair chase” approach, embracing the challenge of tracking old dagga boy warriors and persisting until the hunt is complete. I find the bonds built and the camaraderie of hunters forged over long days in the field a great reward, knowing that the hunters on our Zimbabwean hunting safaris are living their dream. 

My business partner and longtime friend York grew up on a farm in the South-East Lowveld of Zimbabwe, where his love for wildlife and hunting was nurtured. At 16, he moved to South Africa and completed a diploma in Wildlife and Lodge Management. In 2009, he returned to Zimbabwe and began his professional hunting career, qualifying in 2012. His extensive experience spans Mozambique, Cameroon, and most regions of Zimbabwe.

For York, hunting is more than a career; it is a lifelong passion and he approaches every safari with a focus on safety, integrity, and ethical hunting. 

Our hunting concession is situated in the heart of the Zambezi Valley. The Omay Concession spans an impressive 2 million acres of unfenced terrain and more than 120 miles  of Lake Kariba’s shoreline. This majestic area offers a premier African safari experience, combining aquatic adventures with the chance to hunt the four of Africa's Big 5, namely Lion, Leopard, Cape buffalo, and Elephant.

The concession is a true haven for big game hunters, offering thrilling opportunities to track Elephant bulls, tuskless cows, large Cape buffalo herds, and solitary dagga boys. Combination safaris allow hunters to pursue Lion, Leopard, Crocodile, Hippo, Sable, and an array of African plains game, all within a single concession.

Our permanent camps are strategically located and well-equipped, offering all the comforts of a traditional African safari while keeping you connected to the untamed wilderness.

This concession is not just about world-class game hunting but also about giving back to the local community. Located in a communal area, the concession directly supports the people who live there. No animal goes to waste, as the meat from every hunt is distributed to the community. Additionally, part of the trophy fees contributes to essential services such as schools, clinics, and boreholes for clean water.

By hunting in the Omay Concession, you not only embark on the adventure of a lifetime but also play a role in sustaining the local community and preserving this incredible ecosystem for future generations.
