April – November
Hunting tuskless elephant is a fun challenge, every bit as exciting as stalking and following up a big tusker. These Zimbabwe safaris are conducted in the famous Matetsi region which is world renowned for its trophy quality of elephant, lion, Cape buffalo, leopard and sable.
With a fairly small quota, it ensures a great personalized hunting adventure in a very game rich environment. A wide variety of species including; lion, leopard, Cape buffalo, and variety of plains game species live in this diverse eco-system.
Our PH’s have a combined 50 years on the ground hunting experience and understand the vital ingredients for a memorable and successful hunt. Zimbabwe is their home and it makes a huge difference working directly with Zimbabwean born PH who is properly licensed and has the current local inside knowledge and hands on experience. Their personal set of skill have yielded great trophies consistently for WTA’s clients. Through many years of partnership, boots on the ground and our PH’s expertise we are able to tailor make safaris to the specific trophy requirements and needs of the hunter.
