Good morning or evening ladies and gentlemen depending on where you are in the world. Our Hunting is done in two regions, Doma (totally unfenced) which is 5 hrs NNE from Harare by vehicle and the Muzarabani Campfire area with the hunting in the Muzarabani Valley (totally unfenced about five hours by vehicle away to the west).  You have to be fit to hunt in the Muzarabani Valley as the hills are 2000 ft and it is up and down hunting for elephant, sable and the various plains game but its a incredible hunt.   All hunting is stalking, so good broken in shoes are a must.

Eland - have not seen one yet that did not go into SCI, mine went 89.
Alex just has big damn eland is all I can say.

Impala - normal size 18 - 24 inches and some are bigger, luck of the draw as usual in hunting

Grysbok - should make SCI book

Klipspringer - They are nice trophies and fun to hunt.

Buffalo Bull - 38 to 45 inches and they are all big body, figure 1800-2000 pounders and they are tough

Elephant Bull Tusks - 38-45 pounds but there are some bigger ones especially that one old boy no one has gotten.
He has one huge tusk and the other is half way broken off.

Leopard - 150 pounds - 200 pounds, will usually measure over 14 inches so will go into SCI; mine was 15 inches and no. 58 in SCI book, biggest was 17 inches; Alex has some big leopards and most of his clients are Europeans so they don't put any of these trophies into SCI or Rowland & Ward which is a pity.
Lion: big and usually full mane, Alex has a quota of one and it goes quick and it should go into the SCI book

Crocodile: 12 ft and there is a monster out there about four hour drive from Muzarabani Valley and he is a true maneater.  His back foot print measured 16 inches plus and if one inch equals a foot, then this bad boy is a true 16 footer.

Duiker: normal

Kudu: 50 inch plus and there are some big ones there but it is the luck of the draw as all hunting is

Sable: 38-45 inches, should all go into the SCI book

Waterbuck: 24/25 inches plus and should go into the SCI book as there are some bigger ones there

   To book with Alex please contact me, one half of the daily rate will have to be paid to book and the other half 30 days before the start of your safari.  Everyone will need to take malaria pills and I would suggest a tetanus shot to be on the safe side when traveling overseas.  If you take your rifle, please get the US Customs form to show ownership, otherwise, you will catch hell trying to bring it back into the country.  For the guys in Germany, the European weapon card and your German hunting license is enough. Ammo is limited to 5 kilos or 12 pounds and must be locked up in a hard case that will be checked in.  You will need to tell the airlines you are carrying a rifle and ammo and they will want the make, model, length, weight, serial number of the rifle and caliber and the length, width and weight of the carrying case.  Please pack light as laundry is done daily so do not take a lot of clothes as they are not needed.  As far as water goes, it is all bottled.
    With Alex, the day of arrival and day of departure are not charged unlike the rest of the safaris outfitters throughout Africa.  If you do not want to use your rifle, Alex has a 300 Win Mag, 9.3x62, 375 H&H, 416 Rigby and shotguns for birds.  It will cost you $25 a day to rent them and whatever ammo you use up and all of them are tack drivers with Zeiss scopes.  I will be going in either Oct or Nov this year.  I take SAA out of Dulles IAP (Virginia) to Johannesburg, South Africa to Harare, Zimbabwe.
   Zimbabwe is prefectly safe for hunters and their guest otherwise I would notrecommend this, as it is my reputation plain and simple.  You will be picked up at the airport (Harare International Airport) by either Alex or one of his PHs and then drive to either Doma or Muzararbani.  Beer and wine is included in the daily rate along with all meals but if you are like me and drink single malt scotch whiskey, pick it up in Johannesburg because Zimbabwe does not have single malt scotch whiskey anymore.
   If you want the lion, go early like March, April, May or June.  Any questions please call me at home or e-mail me at either RVPVINEUROPE@hotmail.com or RVINEUROPE@hotmail.com.  As I live in Virginia on the east coast (Windsor, Virginia which is 30 miles due east of Langley AFB and Norfolk NAS) I am in the Eastern Standard Time Zone.   For those who will be going, I will send you a detailed list of things to carry and what not to carry and what to expect if this is your first time to Africa to hunt, etc.
