The Zambezi Valley (Omay) Hunting Concession

This concession is two  million acres of unfenced habitat,  along with more than a 150 miles of shoreline on Lake Kariba. This area of Omay is well known for aquatic safaris for Bull Hippo’s and Giant Crocodiles. Fishing for Tiger, Tilapia and Bream is a favorite “add on” when hunting the Zambezi Valley.

Elephant Hunting in Zimbabwe

Elephants are highly populated in the  Zambezi Valley. Elephants are hunted following the “Campfire Principal” (Communal Area Management Program For Indigenous Resources) which accommodates rural people living amongst the wildlife.

These areas were formed on a community- based approach to provide supplementary income and protein to all local inhabitants, thus placing a value on wildlife. In Africa, if it pays it stays!! Game hunting safaris therefore benefit the community with income, education and healthcare.
