The
numerous islands and marshes that abound in the lower
Zambezi valley offer the opportunity to hunt the aquatic
heavyweights, the hippo and crocodile.
The
hippo is classified as a member of the Big Six and
accounts for the deaths of more people in Africa than
all the other dangerous game animals combined. The
large numbers of hippo in this area offers a great
opportunity to secure a good trophy bull.
The
Zambezi river holds the highest concentrations of trophy
crocodiles anywhere in Africa. Although crocodile numbers
are strong, quotas are strict and a client wishing
to hunt this extremely challenging trophy should book
well in advance. The hunting of these aquatic heavyweights
is a unique experience and a nice addition to any big
game safari.
