The Best Free Range Plains Game and Dangerous Game in Africa!

Buffalo 2x1  7 day  $8150.       

 Above prices include trophy fees.  Plains game can be added to all 

Buffalo, Leopard, and Elephant hunts of ten days or longer!  

Hunting Area.  Situated 250 km south of Bulawayo in the scenic free range Bubiana Conservancy sanctuary to the nearly extinct Rhino and home to four of the big five excluding Lion.  Hunting takes place on over 100,000 acres of African bush and spectacular granite hills known for its abundant Plains Game and renowned for its particularly large Leopard.

I, personally hunted with Norman in 1997, 98, 99, 2000, 02 and 2004.  I harvested a huge 200 pound male Leopard, a 54” Kudu and a 40” Eland in 1997.  In 1998 I assisted with the first conservancy Elephant hunt.

We rate the Crooks as one of our best African Safaris.  We rated the accommodations as one of the best in Zimbabwe and we both rate the cuisine as some of the best in the world. 

Keep in mind some Elephant hunts can be very physically demanding.  Our hunt here will require some walking but over easy terrain.  Pro Safaris Africa hunts some of the very best Buffalo in the world!  I personally know Norman runs the best Leopard hunting in Zimbabwe. 

Some Safari operators charge for airport transfers to hunting camp, Norman Crooks does not.  This is at least a $500 savings to each client!  You very well may want pay for a air charter and avoid the 3 hour drive. Approximately $200 per person round trip to Plains game area only.  To Buffalo area round trip $1,400 and up.

Accommodation.  Clients are accommodated in tents and chalets with en suite amenities.  Women and children are welcome on Plains Game and Leopard hunts.   It is advised that on Buffalo, Lion, and Elephant hunts in the valley the women and children stay at another lodge and not join the hunt unless they are hunting and in top physical shape.  The reason for this is that you will leave camp early, before day light and return after dark and more walking is involved.
