Travel to and from Zimbabwe is by air to Harare International Airport, where normal immigration and customs formalities are implemented. You are required to purchase a visa to enter Zimbabwe, and this is available at the airport on arrival for a cost of $30 per person, this is best paid in cash and we recommend you have the correct amount as change can be a problem. When you enter the immigration area there is a counter on the right hand side of the building where you will find the visa form if you do not already have one. Complete the form and then join the queue for the immigration counter on the right of the building and you will pay for and receive your visa there.
Once through immigration you will collect your luggage and firearms if you are travelling with them and you will proceed to the red route and clear your firearms and ammunition. The firearms form can be downloaded from this site and must be completed in triplicate.
Access to our concession is either a 1 hour trip by light aircraft (.206 or navajo) or a 4.5 hour road trip. In order to travel by road you need to land in Harare before 1.30pm, arrivals after this time will need to overnight in Harare. A departure tax of $15 is payable on internal charters at Harare airport before takeoff. If you are overnighting in Harare we can arrange accommodation for you, we use several very good bed and breakfast lodges and payment can be made to them with Visa/MasterCard.
Most areas of Africa are prone to malaria; we are unfortunately, no exception. We strongly advise you to consult with your medical practitioner for an antimalarial prophylactic.
Our hunting season is mainly in our winter months. You can expect relatively mild days (around 75º) and chilly nights (around 42ºF) with the later months of September onwards warming up.
There are some wet spells, which can last a few days; a light rain jacket is a good option.
Due to the remoteness of the area we ask our clients to have medical insurance in case of an emergency.
