Chirisa Safari area is one of the most visited areas in Zimbabwe and is the best in terms of large animals. The area has resident migrating animals from the Zambezi valley, Chizarira National Park and Matusadonha National Park. The main species to hunt in Chirisa is Buffalo, Elephant, Leopard, Lion, Kudu, Zebra, Waterbuck, Bush Buck, Reed Buck, Impala, Eland, Warthog, Klipspringer, Hyena and Bushpig. Chirisa has a huge and stable population of buffalo and unless a hunter is after an exceptional trophy he will shoot a buffalo. Although buffalo over 40″ are shot each year, like most hunting areas in Africa the average size bull is 38 – 39″. There is no specific best time of year to hunt buffalo in Chirisa as the population is sedentary and the area is not reliant upon any form of migration. Buffalo Hunting can be done in many areas throughout Africa. All cat hunting in Chirisa is done during daylight hours as it is a National Parks controlled safari area which limits hunting to daylight hours only. Leopards are one of the most difficult animals to successfully hunt. It takes planning and the right technique to fool this illusive animal. Plains game species can be added to the trip as per price list. In Zimbabwe hunting can be done 365 days a year, but due to the raining season hunting mostly done from April to October, most popular time is from June to August. We operate on strict quotas and cannot offer all species to every client, please ensure at the time of booking your safari that the specific species you want to hunt are available.
