Hunting Operators are required by law to provide the services of a Zimbabwe licenced Professional Hunter to accompany foreign hunters in Zimbabwe. Licencing is undertaken by the Zimbabwe National Parks & Wildlife Management Authority. Professional Hunters write a Learner Examination, then are apprenticed for at least two years during which time they must pass a shooting test set by the Zimbabwe Shooting Federation and obtain an Advanced First Aid Certificate. They then attend a Proficiency Test in the field. Full Licence holders carry a plastic disk issued by National Parks which shows their photograph, ID number and Licence number. Learner Licence holders carry a paper licence with their details and a licence number. Only Professional Hunters licensed in Zimbabwe may conduct hunts in Zimbabwe.
