Quota is limited !!
Spotted Hyena Hunting is one of the most thrilling and adrenaline hunts offered by African outfitters. A night hunt for a hyena is similar to that of a Leopard hunt, but at a much more affordable rate.
If you have never experienced a night hunt in Africa, this is your chance. After the sun sets, an entirely new world opens with predators emerging from their hideaways ready to cause mayhem and panic.
Hearing the words “Hyena hunting” automatically creates a feeling of intrigue. Hyena have a history of attacking sleeping people with their powerful bone crunching jaws.
There is nothing quite like hearing their spine-chilling hysterical laughter in the night as the “Laughing Hyena” call across the landscape. It is a moment that will never be forgotten.
Many perceive Hyenas as scavengers, but in fact these predators are excellent hunters in their own right.
Hunting Hyena, like with Leopard and Lion hunts requires patience and commitment. Harvesting a trophy Hyena in Africa is a remarkable achievement.
Bushpig Hunting and Other Night Critters
As with hunting hyenas, a bushpig hunt is an incredibly unique hunt. Your heart pounds through your chest when you hear the sound of the hogs running in onto the bait. The bushveld goes from silence in the dark to mayhem and chaos in a few seconds.
Jackals are remarkably similar to Coyote, but nearer in size to a fox. These critters are most cunning and opportunistic. Civet Cats and Genets make great full mount trophies and are formidable to hunt.

The Hyena Hunting Territory

Travelling to the Save Valley
The point of entry for this African safari is arriving into the Capital city of Harare. If your international flight arrives after 13h00, overnighting in Harare will be needed as the ground transfer from the airport to the concession will take approximately five hours, depending on the condition of the roads and season.
Chris, or Shepard, one of the leading professional hunters in the team will meet you at the airport and will transfer you directly to the hunting grounds.
An alternative option, should you not be able to fly internationally to Harare, would be to fly directly to Oliver Tambo in South Africa, and then take a direct flight to Harare via Airlines such as Air Zimbabwe or Airlink. The flight only takes approximately two hours and is most affordable and pleasant.
With limited quota in Save Valley, book early to avoid disappointment.
