Shoot: The hunting concessions are all situated in northern Zimbabwe.

We have access to 5 different hunting areas that range in size from 170,000 acres to 1.5 million acres. One area is communal land, three areas are within Government owned National Parks and one is privately owned. The outfitter has solely operated these different areas from 3 to 10 years. There are no fences around 3 of the concessions. One concession has a veterinary cable fence on one boundary and one has a full perimeter fence.
