I hunted the area in the early 1990's. Unit 1 was always regarded as spectacular, in fact all the Matetsi units offered wonderful hunting, especially Sable. Lion were good, buffalo tend to move around and elephant migrated with the seasons between Zim and Botswana. Trophy quality was exceptional. I'll be following this thread to see how the areas are performing now. | |||

I worked there from 1984 into the mid 90's. It was quite simply the best single concession I have ever hunted. As of late it has had nice people like Out of Africa and other illegal or quasi-legal activities going on. So not sure of it's current status. As far as I know the concession is still owned by a Zanu-PF thug, but I stand to be corrected. Like Neil I would be interested io hear an update - I consider it my home. | |||

The present owner is listed on the Department of State "Black List" and US citizens are prohibited from on hunting there. | |||

Anyone have any current information about the Unit? Who has it and what's the game status? The danger of civilization, of course, is that you will piss away your life on nonsense | |||

Hutty - read Ron Olivers post above. Why would an American care what the game is like? | |||

Sorry- I must have posted right after Ron posted and did not see it. Thanks for the heads up. The danger of civilization, of course, is that you will piss away your life on nonsense | |||

I traveled through the area in '07. Spent one night in a hunting lodge. Nice lodge but never saw the first animal. Never heard any game even at night, nor saw anything in the field at first light. Glad I was only passing through.

Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

Sad, nothing positive to be said about Unit 1. Guess that's what happens when Zanu PF cronies get given something once considered special to the white man. | |||
