Professional Guides and Hunters

Professional Guides and Hunters

Whether you’re considering a hunting or photographic safari, it’s your professional hunter or guide who can ‘make or break’ your experience. Furthermore, your safety may often depend on their knowledge and training.

Zimbabwe has particularly rigorous regulations in this respect, and all tour operators who offer these safaris are obliged by law to employ licenced professional hunters or guides.

These guides and hunters have to undertake a two-year ‘apprenticeship’ in the field, and must pass several practical and written tests before being granted a licence by the Parks and Wildlife Management Authority.

Most professional hunters and guides are members of the Zimbabwe Professional Hunters and Guides Association (ZPHGA) and we have listed them alphabetically for your convenience.
