I had a great Buffalo Leopard Safari in Zimbabwe last April. This year I have been checking on prices for a 7-10 day Cape Buffalo Safari. I guess I am surprised a that prices have been going up and there seems to be few Buffalo hunts available. Last April we had difficulty getting Diesel which effected our hunt somewhat and could have been worse. Also we saw lots of Snares and evidence of Poaching going uncontrolled.I have heard things in Zimbabwe continue to decline. But there seems to be no shortage of interest this year????? | ||

I have old brochures and price lists from several ZIM outfitters. Over the last couple of years the Daily Rate has increased at least $50 per day, some Trophy Fees have increased and the Observer Rate has risen by $25 per day. For one a couple of operators, the Trophy Fees on buffalo has risen from $2,000 to $2,500 ($2,200 for one outfitter) and sable has risen from $2,750 to $3,500. There seems to be a strong demand for safaris in ZIM and with some of the consolidation in ZIM, there are fewer options. The loss of several game ranches over the last few years has had an effect as well. Regards, Terry  Msasi haogopi mwiba [A hunter is not afraid of thorns] | |||

I also hunted Zim last year. My 3rd trip into that country and every year it gets more difficult to hunt there. I still think there are some good hunt to be had in Zim however it is critical that you know who you are booking with. Lots of areas are void of game due to poaching and lack of fuel to keep water pumps in operation. Zim at one time was a cost effective location to hunt buffalo. Now I think Tanz is a better location. If you are looking for Jumbo, Zim is still hard to beat. I think if you are willing to wait until this fall you will be able to hunt non-trophy Jumbo for less than buffalo! Something I doubt will last very long. I think Jumbo hunting is as cheap as you will ever see it, and expect prices to begin to climb once Zim totally fall appart. ****************************************************************** R.

JPK I was hunting with Matupula hunters. They were fantastic. We hunted the Omay for Buffalo and the Makashi game concession for Leopard and Plains game. Davewzimbabwe.com | |||

Folks All of the above is true but like everything else it is not true in all cases. As you probably know we work with Barry Duckworth and Sons Mokore Safaris on the Save and Chewore South. When I first hunted with them in '96 the daily rate for buffalo was $650 for a buffalo hunt. Now 10 years later the price is $800 per day. That doesn't seem an outrageous increase to me. Trophy fees for buff are $2200 with sable at $2500 once again these are more than competitive prices with one of the more solid outfits in Zim. They still have a little quota left for '06.

Minuck, Thanks for the link to you nice site. Looks like you had a great trip. I hunted in Chewore South with Roger Whittall Safaris, PH Richard Tabor, this past Oct. There was no evidence of poaching, and there is no one living there except for the game scouts and the camp staffs. I also hunted Humani in the Save Conservancy. There are squaters there and no game near them. As you travel away from where they live there is more and more game. We found a string of snares while elephant hunting and marked them and called the private game scouts for the Save. They arrest a couple of poachers a day in the Save I was told, but then the game scouts patrol every night to keep the problem to a minimum. There was tons of game there. JPK Free 500grains | |||

The prices are not so high if you think at the economical situation in the country. The price of fuel in zim is incredible. At the black market you can pay 1 and half or 2 Us$ a liter. Otherzise you need to go in South Africa or in Botswana, but you can import only a few, no more of 60 liters each time, I believe. Also the food. No butter, no milk, no bread. Many things you must buy in other countries. And the expenses grow up. mario | |||
