Our hunting concessions

The Best Hunting Grounds in Africa

Six exclusive concessions across four countries, and more than 1.8 million acres of private and unfenced wilderness. Each one earns its place by doing something better than anywhere else we hunt – and two or more can be combined into a single tailor-made safari.

More than the hunt

Tiger Fishing on the Zambezi

Four days on the Zambezi near Victoria Falls, from our own boat, after the fish the river is famous for – speed, power and an explosive strike. Tack it onto the end of a safari, or come for the fishing alone.

  • Boat and gear included
  • Victoria Falls on the same trip
