The journey to Hunt in Zimbabwe’s Save Valley

Heading to Zimbabwe’s Save Valley for a hunting safari is the start of an unforgettable adventure. As your flight begins its descent into Harare or Bulawayo, the country’s stunning landscapes will come to life—a patchwork of lush forests, golden savannas, scattered acacia trees, and winding rivers. Zimbabwe’s airports are modern and welcoming, making it easy to transition into the excitement of your safari.

From the moment you arrive, the experience will takes off. Your guide, Shepard, a seasoned expert who knows the area and its wildlife inside out, will greet you at the airport before commencing the scenic five-hour drive to the Save Valley Conservancy. The road transfer will be anything but dull. The roads wind through breathtaking scenery—rolling hills, sweeping plains, and charming rural villages where friendly locals wave as you drive by.

Shepard’s stories about Zimbabwe’s wildlife, rich culture, and hunting traditions keep the conversation lively and engaging, pulling you into the magic of the African bush even before you arrive. Along the way, you may be fortunate enough to spot Elephants grazing in the distance or colourful birds darting through the trees—a little taste of what’s waiting for you.

The Save Valley Conservancy is like stepping into a world untouched by time—raw, vast, and alive with energy.

The ultimate Hunting Safari in Zimbabwe

Hunting in Zimbabwe offers an experience like no other, and the unique combination of targeting a Cape Buffalo Bull, Impala Ram, Baboon, and Zebra presents a set of challenges and rewards that will make the safari unforgettable. Each animal presents its own distinct challenge, requiring a deep understanding of the terrain, the animals, and, most importantly, shot placement. This Zimbabwe hunting safari is a adventure that will test a hunter’s skills and perseverance across a range of environments and species.

Buffalo hunting in Zimbabwe, particularly when pursuing a mature Bull, is a challenge that every hunter dreams of. The African Cape Buffalo is often regarded as one of the most dangerous game species to hunt. Its unpredictable nature and powerful build demand precision and patience. The dense bush, where these animals thrive, makes tracking them dangerous and demanding. The heat and the rugged terrain only add to the difficulty, and the need for perfect shot placement is paramount to ensure a humane kill. Hunters must anticipate the Buffalo’s movements carefully, waiting for the ideal moment to fire, as a poorly placed shot could lead to an extremely dangerous encounter. Despite the difficulties, the reward of successfully hunting a Cape Buffalo Bull is immense—the sense of accomplishment and respect for such a powerful creature is truly unmatched. Save Valley has a history of producing quality “Dugga Boys”.

On the other hand, Impala hunting in Zimbabwe provides a contrasting yet equally challenging experience. While the Impala may be smaller and less dangerous than a Buffalo, it is no less elusive. These agile antelope are known for their speed and sharp instincts. They can vanish into the brush at the slightest sign of danger, making shot placement all the more critical for a successful hunt. The hunter must take into account wind direction, positioning, and the animal’s movements to ensure that the shot is clean and precise. The challenge lies in the need for swift decision-making and excellent marksmanship, as a hasty shot can lead to a lost opportunity or a wounded animal.

Hunting a Baboon adds a whole new dimension to the experience. Baboon hunting requires a keen eye and the ability to adapt to their unpredictable behavior. They are highly intelligent, and their quick reflexes make them a challenging target. Often seen in troops, the Baboon’s social structure means a single shot can disturb the entire group, leading to a difficult pursuit. Patience is key when hunting Baboons, as they are constantly on the move, making perfect shot placement even more crucial. The challenge comes in waiting for the right moment when a Baboon is at the perfect distance and angle, offering the best chance for a clean, ethical shot. The reward of bringing down a Baboon lies not only in the challenge but also in the sense of accomplishment from outsmarting such a clever animal.

Finally, Zebra hunting adds a colorful and rewarding aspect to the safari. Zebras are known for their striking black-and-white stripes, but they are far from easy targets. Their sharp senses make them quick to flee at the first hint of danger, making stealth and patience crucial. The challenge with Zebra hunting is often the need for a careful approach, as their sharp sight and hearing can alert them to your presence long before you’re within shooting range. As with all animals, shot placement is key to ensuring a quick, ethical kill.

The combination of these four species—each with their own unique challenges—makes this Zimbabwe hunting safari an extraordinary adventure. Whether tracking the powerful and dangerous Cape Buffalo through dense bush, stalking an Impala in the open plains, or waiting for the right moment to take a Baboon, or carefully approaching a Zebra, every moment will test your skills and perseverance. The rewards of successfully hunting these animals are not just in the trophies you bring home, but in the unforgettable experiences and memories you will make.
