Moyo Hunting Safaris

Hunting Season:

The hunting season from May to August.

Weapons and Ammo:

We recommend you to bring a .30 caliber weapon for all plains game. For thick-skinned dangerous game like Buffalo and Elephant a .375. However we recommend something in the .416 caliber provided the client can handle the weapon adequately. For a single weapon all round Safari a good scoped .375 should be adequate.

Health:

First Aid Kit available in Lapa

Air Strip

Available for small planes

Clothing:

Lightweight but protective clothing is recommended, green or khaki being the most suitable colours. Trousers or shorts are usually worn with a loose fitting shirt. Comfortable footwear is essential (something similar to desert boots), as are a wide brimmed hat and sunglasses, also a wool sweater or jacket for the evening and early mornings. Clients might like to bring a set of clothes for evenings in the camp. However, we recommend that luggage be kept to a minimum if a charter flight is necessary due to the weight restrictions on the light aircraft.

Meals and Drinks:

Basic or Full Menu, upon request.
