The Zambezi Valley is the best big game hunting area in Zimbabwe, if not Africa. Rifa Safari Area is arguably the best area in the Zambezi Valley. Pro Safaris Africa has the exclusive rights to for this magnificent area. With 45 km of Zambezi frontage on the west and north, and safari areas bordering on the east and south, Rifa Safari Area is surrounded by wilderness areas, and is secluded from any human encroachment.
Everyone dreams of hunting Africa’s Big Five. Of these, the Cape Buffalo must be the most sought-after trophy of them all. Hunting them by tracking is the only true way to hunt. Hunting Cape Buffalo needs to be incorporated in a true African Safari with its vast areas and wide variety of dangerous game.
The area is perhaps best known for its cats. Leopard are abundant and can only be hunted during daylight hours, making this more interesting and giving it the work that it deserves. Two of the top 10 lion ever taken in Africa have been taken in this area, making this the number 1 area for lion in Zimbabwe.
Elephant hunting is perhaps the most physical hunt that one can ask for. Elephant is hunted on foot. Whether it’s trophy bulls, which can be anywhere between 40 lbs and 70 lbs per side, or the notorious tuskless elephant that you’re after, Rifa is the safari area that truly has it all!
Hippo are abundant in the Zambezi River and is a unique hunt that takes you away from the everyday tracking of the Cape Buffalo. Keeping in mind that they kill more people in Africa than any other animal, one has to show them the respect they deserve. A hippo hunt should not be done without including its amphibious friend, the Nile Crocodile. This prehistoric creature has to be baited for the best results.
Our 6 Professional Hunters are all Zimbabwean with over 95 years of experience between them, thus ensuring your safety, and making sure that all hunts are not only conducted within the law, but within our own strict code of ethics.
The area has two luxurious tented camps on the banks of the Zambezi River, with all the luxuries of home. Each room has an en-suite bathroom and a sweeping view of the river with a cool breeze coming off the water. All rooms have invertors to ensure that the fans keep the rooms cool at night. A splash pool at the main camp is convenient for those boiling hot days. Both camps are run on generators, and all vehicles are equipped with freezers, ensuring that cold refreshments are always on hand.
Pro Safaris Africa has several other areas in Zimbabwe, so we can tailor a safari to suit your needs. Access to all areas is by private air charter from Harare.
