Zimbabwe
ZIMBABWE
Directly between our semi-arid Namibia hunting and our tropical / subtropical hunting in Mozambique, are the ancient sandy flood plains of the Zambezi Valley, that hold our northern Zimbabwe hunting areas.
This is classic bush hunting country, of patchwork Cathedral mopane veld and thick ‘Jesse’ bush, which sits on the banks of the might Zambezi River (see Dande & Nyakasanga below).

Sustainable Use Conservation Hunting
DANDE
Dande sits on the Zambrei tripoint country border of Zambia and Mozambique, a few kilometres upstream from Lake Cabora Bassa, in a remote part on Mashonaland West Province.
This is pristine Zambezi Valley terrain, with no fences or tarred roads; generally rugged, flat sandy soils and thick, virgin “Jesse bush”, Cathedral Mopane and ancient flood plains, moving west, upstream, into hilly and mountainous terrain bisected by sand rivers!
It is proper tough Buffalo hunting and typical big Elephant / tuskless country together with species such as Eland (Livingstone's), Kudu (Greater), Sable, Impala, Duiker, Warthog…
The beautiful tented camp is perched on high cliffs, 140 metres above and overlooking the Zambezi River, facing west for fantastic sunsets.
NYAKASANGA
Named after the Nyakasanga River, the Nyaksanga hunting concession is directly on the Lower Zambezi River, approximately 80kms below the Kariba Dam Wall. To the east, the concession borders the Mana Pools National Heritage site, to the west is the Rifa National Park, and the Zambezi Valley Escarpment to the south.
The proximity to the National Parks supplies a constant influx of wildlife that increases the resident population.
The area is a host to very large herds of Buffalo, also Tuskless Elephant, Eland, Kudu, Impala, Warthog, Zebra, Crocodile…less common species include Sable, Nyala, Waterbuck, Bushbuck, Grysbok and Duiker…
Weather
Zimbabwe enjoys a pleasantly temperate-to-tropical climate year-round, with significant variations influenced by the country’s topography as well as the seasons.
The hot and dry season runs from August through to October, and the rainy season from November through to March.
The best wildlife viewing months to visit are April to September, when temperatures range from 7°C at night to 20°C in the day - it is drier and cooler during this time and animals congregate around the rivers and waterholes.
