Hunting Areas of Zimbabwe

Martin Pieters Safaris hunts the one million-acre Omay North and South Hunting Blocks in the famous Zambezi Valley. This is one of the finest unfenced hunting areas in Africa and is known for fantastic leopard, buffalo, hippo and crocodile. Hilly terrain, river valleys and large forests make the Omay a true hunter’s dream. Hunting is from a base camp on the lake, or from our privately owned houseboat, the Abangane, houseboatskariba.com
