The Combination Hunt in Zimbabwe

Embarking on the 8-day Zimbabwe hunting safari in the renowned Save Valley is an experience tailored for those seeking both challenge and reward.

The excitement will begin with Hippo hunting, an endeavor requiring patience, skill, and precision shooting. Stalking a Trophy Hippo Bull along the riverbanks, you will feel the adrenaline surge as you position yourself for the perfect shot into the brain or vital organs. Hippos are known for their unpredictability, and their aquatic habitat adds complexity to the hunt.

Transitioning to Wildebeest hunting, you’ll traverse the vast grasslands of Save Valley. These iconic animals are quick and highly alert, demanding careful tracking and a steady aim. Success will hinge on impeccable shot placement to secure your trophy.

The hunt will take a different turn with Zebra , where the unique black-and-white patterns of this species make them a stunning prize. Their sharp senses and tight herds present an added challenge, requiring both strategy and patience.

Finally, the pursuit of the elusive Bushpig adds a layer of unpredictability to your Zimbabwe safari bringing night hunting to the table.  Usually active at night, these cunning animals are hunted over a bait.

The Save Valley’s dramatic landscapes, combined with the variety of game, create a unique package for hunters. From the rush of dangerous game encounters to the strategy required for plains game, this 8-day adventure is the perfect combination of excitement, challenge, and reward for any dedicated hunter.
