Mokore Safaris Zimbabwe & Mozambique
There is no substitute for experience
All our Professional Hunter's have a sincere love and respect for wildlife and the outdoors. They have all been hunting, fishing and spending time in the bush from when they were children. Zimbabwe is believed to have the hardest Professional Hunters and Guides examination in Africa and all of our PH's have passed these exams. In the process they had to undergo intense examination, gain significant knowledge and spend a minimum period of 3 years field experience as learner hunters before receiving their full licenses, allowing them to hunt dangerous game.
