The Save Valley: Game Hunting at its Best!

The Save Valley in Zimbabwe is a dream destination for hunters seeking a truly unique and adrenaline-filled experience. Spanning vast, untamed wilderness, it offers a rare opportunity to combine Crocodile hunting, Hippo hunting, Bushbuck hunting, and a Spotted Hyena hunt into a single, action-packed 10-day safari. This package stands out not only for the diverse range of species but also for the thrilling and dangerous encounters it promises.

Hippo hunting in Zimbabwe is an experience that’s not for the faint-hearted. Hippos are considered one of Africa’s most dangerous animals, often underestimated due to their seemingly docile appearance. These massive creatures can be highly territorial, especially when encountered in water. Hunting them demands precise shot placement, as their tough hide and dense body mass require exceptional accuracy to ensure a clean and ethical harvest.

The Save Valley’s waterways create the perfect setting for this hunt. Whether tracking a bull Hippo grazing on land or waiting near a riverbank for a clear shot, every moment will be charged with tension. The sheer size and power of these animals, coupled with their ability to vanish underwater in an instant, make Hippo hunts in Zimbabwe a nerve-wracking challenge.

Spotted Hyena hunting is an adventure in its own right, offering a blend of strategy and patience. More active during the night, these cunning predators are masters of stealth and survival. Their eerie, laughter-like calls echo across the Save Valley, adding an almost mythical quality to the hunt.

Unlike other predators, spotted Hyenas are notorious for their intelligence and resourcefulness. Hunting one requires careful planning, often involving baited setups.  The thrill comes not only from the challenge of outwitting such a crafty animal but also from the opportunity to take home a trophy that tells a story of skill and perseverance.

Bushbuck hunting in Zimbabwe is a pursuit of both beauty and patience. Known for their shy and elusive nature, Bushbucks are often found in dense vegetation near rivers and waterholes. Their striking markings and elegant build make them one of the most sought-after antelope species for hunters.

The dense thickets of the Save Valley provide the ideal habitat for Bushbucks, but this also adds to the difficulty of the hunt. Spotting one requires sharp eyes, and approaching them without spooking the animal is a test of stealth. Precision shot placement is critical, as Bushbucks are smaller targets compared to other game, and a poorly placed shot can result in losing the animal in thick cover.

Hunting  Bushbuck is a rewarding challenge, offering moments of quiet observation punctuated by bursts of excitement when the opportunity for a shot finally arises.

Crocodile hunting in the Save Valley is as thrilling as it is dangerous. These ancient reptiles are true apex predators and masters of ambush, often lying motionless for hours, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Their ability to blend seamlessly into their surroundings makes spotting one a feat in itself.

Hunting Crocodiles often involves staking out watering holes or riverbanks where they bask in the sun. The hunt requires precision shot placement, as these creatures are incredibly tough and can retreat to the water even after being hit, making recovery nearly impossible. The combination of patience, accuracy, and nerves of steel makes Crocodile hunting a heart-pounding adventure.

What makes this 10-day safari in the Save Valley truly unique is the combination of species and the varied skills required to hunt them. Each animal presents a distinct challenge, from the raw power of the Hippo to the cunning of the Hyena, the grace of the Bushbuck, and the prehistoric stealth of the Crocodile.

This package isn’t just about the hunt, it’s about the journey.

Moreover, the dangers inherent in this hunt amplify the sense of accomplishment. Successfully taking down a Bull Hippo or Crocodile is no small feat, while outsmarting a spotted Hyena or Bushbuck will be a testament to skill and perseverance.

With its combination of danger, diversity, and the unparalleled beauty of Zimbabwe’s wilderness, this package is not just a hunt, but rather the hunting adventure of a lifetime. For hunters seeking the ultimate challenge, this journey into the Save Valley offers memories and experiences as rare and extraordinary as the game it pursues.

Quota for these unique animals is limited.
