Traveling to the Hunting Concession

Mapping out your trip to Nyakasanga, one of Zimbabwe’s top-tier hunting locations, is a fantastic way to embark on an extraordinary African safari.

For this Buffalo hunt, you will need to enter Zimbabwe at  Harare International Airport (HRE), Zimbabwe’s primary international gateway. Carriers such as South African Airways, Ethiopian Airlines, and Qatar Airways provide seamless connections through major transit points such as Johannesburg, Addis Ababa, and Doha. To guarantee a smooth start to your hunting safari, it is suggested set aside a day in Harare (before and after the safari).

Depending on flight times, it may be more viable to spend a night in Johannesburg if you choose to reach Harare via Oliver Tambo Airport. Airlink is recommended for the return flight to Harare. Flights are affordable (+- US$ 400 return), on time and importantly serve “adult beverages”. Airlink also has facilities in place for rifles transfers. We would recommend African Sky Boutique Hotel situated in close proximity to OR Tambo Airport. Not only will management arrange transfers to and from African Sky/OR Tambo, but they will also assist with any firearm permits. For further information, see our “Affiliated Services” link below.

Depending on  preferences, hunters can opt for a picturesque charter flight or a scenic road transfer .

The Outfitter on this Buffalo Hunt in Zimbabwe

Dalton and team have been hunting Zimbabwe, Cameroon and Mozambique for more than a decade. Their biggest passion is hunting in Zimbabwe, reason being that its one of the most unpredictable terrains, as well as having some of the most wild big game, bringing excitement the way every hunt should have.

They make dreams a reality through every resource they have available, dedicating themselves to the needs of every client, in order to make the hunt a success and mostly enjoyable. Dangerous game hunts take place at either Ume or Chifudzi camp depending on available quota at time of booking

The Hunting Lodge in Zimbabwe

Dalton and team make use of two camps for dangerous game hunts. Ume Camp is situated along the scenic Ume River in the North Omay region, adjacent to the breathtaking Matusadona National Park. The camp boasts four tastefully furnished, permanent rooms with private bathrooms, providing cozy lodging for up to eight visitors. Guests can unwind in the shared dining area, sip a beverage at the bar with panoramic river views, or relax by the inviting swimming pool. Ume Camp offers dependable Wi-Fi and welcomes families. Boat rides and fishing excursions are available, and a variety of wildlife can often be observed from the camp. As night descends, the calls of Hippos, Lions, Hyenas, and Elephants frequently echo through the night.

In the South Omay region, Chifudzi Camp presents a more intimate retreat, featuring three permanent accommodations, each equipped with private bathrooms. The camp comfortably hosts up to six guests. Visitors can savor meals and refreshments while gazing at breathtaking views over the valley and a nearby water pan, where sightings of plains game, Buffalo, and Elephants are common.

Cape Buffalo Hunting, Zambezi Valley

Cape Buffalo hunting is the ultimate hunting adventure for those seeking the true essence of dangerous game hunting. These formidable animals are known for their sheer power, unpredictable nature, and unwavering tenacity. Tracking them through the thick, untamed bush is a challenge that demands both physical and mental endurance.

The dangers of hunting Cape Buffalo cannot be underestimated. This is a dangerous game hunting safari.  With their exceptional sense of smell, sharp hearing, and immense strength, they can charge without warning, requiring split-second decision-making and unwavering focus from the hunter and the entire team. This is where the importance of having an experienced professional hunter and trackers becomes invaluable.

However, the rewards of Cape Buffalo hunting in Zimbabwe make every challenge worthwhile. Taking down a Buffalo is not just about the trophy, it’s about the journey, memories, and connection to the African wilderness.  Beware, for first time Buffalo hunters, Cape Buffalo hunting is highly addictive.
