Three countries, three very different hunts
Three countries, each doing one thing properly. In all three, camp sits on the hunting ground itself — there is no drive out to a concession each morning.
Choosing between them
The honest short version: South Africa for a first safari, the widest species list and an accessible first buffalo. Zimbabwe for free-range elephant. Mozambique for the best buffalo hunting in Southern Africa.
| Country | Best for | Season | Length | Demand |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| South Africa | Widest plains game list, buffalo at an accessible price, bow | Mar – Oct | 5 – 10 days | Moderate |
| Zimbabwe | Free-range elephant, plus lion, leopard, crocodile and hippo | Mar – Jul | 7 – 14 days | High |
| Mozambique | Premium Zambezi Delta buffalo, exceptional waterbuck | Late Jul – early Sep | 7 – 10 days | Very high |
The countries
Zimbabwe
Elephant country. Two ways to hunt them at two very different price points, plus lion and leopard on the same ground, and hippo and crocodile further north near Lake Kariba.
- Elephant season March – July
- Safari length 7 – 14 days
- Focus Elephant
- Also available Lion, leopard, croc, hippo
Mozambique
A quarter of a million acres on the Zambezi Delta, not a fence on any of it, and the heaviest-bossed buffalo in Southern Africa. This is the premium hunt.
- Buffalo season Late July – early Sept
- Safari length 7 – 10 days
- Concession 250,000 acres
- Fences None
Combining two countries in one trip
A significant number of our clients hunt two countries on a single trip, and it is usually the right call. Five to seven days of plains game on the Limpopo property, then across to Zimbabwe for elephant or to the Zambezi Delta for buffalo. The South African leg fills out your species list at a much lower cost per animal; the second leg is the hunt you came for.
Logistics are simpler than most people expect — regional flights connect Johannesburg with Harare and Beira, and we handle the firearm paperwork for both countries. Both combinations are set out on our packages page.
One planning note: the Zambezi Delta season is fixed at late July to early September, so a Limpopo-plus-Delta trip has to be built around that window. Zimbabwe elephant runs March to July, with a September option if needed.
