firearms and ammunition

We recommend that you bring your own firearm, one that you are familiar with. The choice of firearm is entirely up to the client. However, National Parks regulations in Zimbabwe require minimum calibres for certain species. For heavy set animals, such as elephant, buffalo, hippo, lion and eland, a .375 or bigger is required. For all smaller, soft skinned animals, a .270 upwards is sufficient. In terms of ammunition, you may want to use, range from solids, and soft points such as:
Barnes X	Swift A Frame
Trophy Bonded	Norma
Federal	Woodley
You should bring at least 20 rounds of solid points and 40 rounds of soft points, depending on what you are hunting.

trophy preperation

Your trophies will be expertly caped and field cured in the camp. We will arrange for the packaging, crating and export of your trophies. If you require taxidermy work within Zimbabwe, we can arrange this as well.
