If the PH is doing more than you expect from him, which results in extra good trophies, you should reward this. On the other hand, they will also understand that you are tipping less, if you are not
happy with the safari or the hunt did not succeed.

We can inform you that normally there are 8 people involved in a safari. Old clothes and bags etc. can also be given as tipping to the black people.

Documents:
All relevant documents and tickets will be forwarded 10-14 days before the beginning of the trip.

Photos:
From our hunters we are very interested in receiving photos, which possibly can be used in connection with our marketing and our annual catalogue appearing at the end of the year. We would very
much like to receive the photos as soon as possible after your return. If your pictures are used in the catalogue, you will receive € 65,- . The amount will be credited your Limpopo Travelaccount
and may be used on your next trip.

Please note the importance of where the picture is taken, which means that it is best photographing for example the shot animal in the nature and not in front of a house, a Landrover, a fence etc.

After your Return:
We are always happy to hear from you, after you have returned home. It is of great importance for us to know, what happens “out there”. This is the only way, we can develop and possibly improve
our hunting tours. Therefore - whether you wish to praise or criticize - please let us hear from you!

We hope that the above information answers some of the many questions, which you will naturally have before the trip. Should you need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Hunting in Zimbabwe

Hunting Season:
In Zimbabwe it is allowed to hunt the whole year, but because of the rainy season the hunt is best from March to November.

Camp Equipment:
All vehicles are custom built Safari cars. The camps vary from one hunting area to the other. Some are tented camps, others are thatched lodges, but all are comfortable with shower and toilet
facilities.

The Hunt:
You will be roused before dawn and the hunt normally lasts until sundown. Lunch is either taken at the camp or in the field. The car has a well-supplied box of food and beverage. Concerning the
hunt, the game will normally be located from the car, whereupon you will stalk the game. Because of the very thick vegetation in certain areas, you must be prepared to shoot rather quickly. The
trophies will be prepared in the camp, ready for transportation. The Safari Company will take care of all formalities regarding the export of the trophies. Always make sure that the capes of the
individual trophies are also packed.

Important - wounded game = shot game!

Hunting Result:
Our partners wishes to express that even though they have excellent hunting grounds, have good equipment as well as well-trained professional hunters, trackers, and skinners, factors such as weather, wind, luck, and the skill of the individual hunter will always influence the result. HUNTING IS HUNTING! It is advisable to be in a reasonable physical condition, and to have done some practice shooting, before leaving.

Weapon:
We recommend you to bring a medium calibre rifle (7-8 mm f.inst. .30-06) for Antelopes. Minimum allowed calibre in Zimbabwe is 7 mm. Many hunters find that .375 magnum is a very
good all-round rifle, both for small and big game. The rifle should be carried in a solid hard case. Ammunition and bolt must not be carried in the rifle case. The bolt must be checked in with other
baggage (not hand baggage).

PLEASE NOTE; it is no longer legal to transport ammunition in original packing through Johannesburg. All ammunition must be kept in a lockable metal ammunition box to be checked in separately with own baggage tag.

We would recommend you to bring 60 rounds of ammunition. Shooting range 100 m. Please bring your EU weapon passport if you are an EU citizen.

For daily use while in the field, we would suggest that you bring a soft rifle case to protect the rifle.

Trophy Import:
If you wish to hunt game, protected by the Washington Convention, you should contact your local authorities PRIOR to departure regarding any necessary formalities in connection with the import to
your own country. The responsibility for these formalities rests solely on the hunter, and we would recommend that you either contact a taxidermist or a shipping agent, since most countries have become very strict in the last couple of years.

Hunting Protocol:
When the Safari is over, a protocol must be made and signed by each participant. It is imperative that any complaints be entered into this protocol, since otherwise they cannot be dealt with.
