Rifle hunters are also welcome, and we ensure that rifle and bow hunters are not booked simultaneously unless they are part of the same group.
Our private reserve, located just north of Bulawayo, has grown from low game numbers in the late 1980s into a thriving wildlife habitat – thanks to intensive management, sustainable use, and strategic reintroductions.
Today, hunters can enjoy diverse free-roaming wildlife and abundant birdlife in pristine wilderness. Ideal for bow and rifle hunting novices, experts, families, and groups seeking an authentic African hunting experience.
Plains game species include giraffe, zebra, blue wildebeest, kudu, eland, sable, warthog, bushpig, and impala. A host of small nocturnal creatures can also be seen alongside leopard, hyena and jackal.
