LEOPARD HUNTING IN ZIMBABWE
OVERVIEW OF HUNTING AREA.
SITUATED: The hunting area is South West Zimbabwe, along the Botswana border along the Ramaquabane and Shashi rivers and the Ingwizi dam area. The area is approx 4 hours drive from Bulawayo.
ACCOMODATION: Matabele Hunters has a very picturesque base camp, with ensuite chalets. Due to the size of the hunting area, we also like to operate out of tented fly camps. This helps hunters to be closer to the area of leopard activity and to cut down on unnecessary traveling over rough terrain. The fly camps are basic but comfortable. Specializingin leopard hunts, using the blind method.
Although there is limited plains game in the leopard areas, a client will have the opportunity to take zebra, Kudu (which may be difficult early in the season) also Wildebeest, Impala, Klipspringer, Duiker and Steenbok during the course of a leopard hunt.
TYPICAL LEOPARD HUNT: The area will be prebaited, 5 days prior to the client arriving. We usually use between 8 to 10 baits. Zebra is used for bait. (Zebra 4 baits)
A minimum of ten days is necessary to conduct a successful
leopard hunt.
