Traveling to hunt plains game in Zimbabwe

Various regional airlines are available to fly to Victoria Falls Airport, and these include Safair, Cemair, Airlink, and South African Airways. Tiaan and his team will meet you upon arrival, after which a 2h30 journey will see you arriving at the Zimbabwe hunting grounds, bordering Hwange National Park.
The Hunting Concenssions
These are prime hunting grounds for both dangerous and African plains game, offering free-range hunts over more than 100,000 acres!
Gwayi ECA
This is a prime area for dangerous game hunting, with popular trophies including the Cape Buffalo, Lion, Leopard, Hippo, and Nile Crocodile, along with the Sable and other African plains game.
It is a large expanse of land situated adjacent to the Hwange National Park. The area is unfenced, allowing free movement of wildlife species between Hwange and the conservancy. The varied terrain in the region includes valleys, rivers, open plains, thickets, and Mopani forests.
Sikumi East
Situated on the eastern border of the Hwange National Park, the Sikumi East region is part of the Ngamo-Sikumi Forest block, covering approximately 420,000 acres. It is a popular hunting area for species such as Lions, Leopards, Elephants, Sable, and Cape Buffalo.
Hunting Lodge in Zimbabwe
Luxury accommodation provides the perfect home-away-from-home for hunters, and the perfect respite after a challenging day in the bush. From comfortable beds, warm showers, and all the comforts of home, hunters can relax and unwind.
A resident chef prepares tasty fare for guests, including local game meat (venison) that is prepared in various ways, including the traditional braai (BBQ). Families are also taken into consideration, with a range of activities to enthral and entertain non-hunting guests.
Any caliber, from a well-placed .243 bullet to a .300 Win Mag will suffice when hunting these large trophies. Choose the rifle you know best, where you are confident that accurate shot placement is a certainty. Be sure to do your homework when it comes to shot placement for a quick, clean kill.
The Roan and Sable are more active in the early morning, and the hunting safari should consider this. Both these antelopes have beautiful backward-facing horns – and they will use them if threatened. Ensure that your trophy is, in fact, dead before coming too close to it and facing being wounded.
These two large plains game trophies are quite a challenge to hunt. Check out these tips to help achieve a successful hunt:
