Zimbabwe Hunting Safaris
Matetsi is the most popular hunting destination in Zimbabwe and host a healthy population of Lion & Leopard due to the large herds of Buffalo, Elephant & Plains Game in the area.
The Matetsi ECA(Extended Conservation Area) is adjoined directly to Matetsi Unit 1 and Unit 4 and covers an area of roughly 80 000 Acres to hunt. A significant distinction between the ECA and other Matetsi Units is that the ECA permits night hunting of nocturnal species. All hunting quotas are issued by National Parks, and a National Parks representative is present during all elephant, lion and leopard hunts.
The Matetsi ECA is also a prolific Buffalo area with a good change of getting a large trophy bull. Elephant hunting is also very successful in the area. Matetsi is also well known for its big Tom Cats, full maned Lions, large Sable Bulls and massive Livingstone Elands. The game movement in the ECA is excellent due to lots of water and the success rate is close to 100% for all large game animals.
