SAVULI
Located within the renowned Save Valley Conservancy, Savuli consistently delivers a remarkable 100% success rate on big leopard and buffalo hunts. As the year progresses, plains game populations swell as they migrate in from the drier parts of the conservancy, offering excellent opportunities for diverse game.
In 2023, we proudly opened our new camp, which has quickly become a favorite among clients, combining comfort with prime access to this exceptional hunting area.
SAVÉ VALLEY CONSERVANCY
The Save Valley Conservancy is a vast protected area combining private land and Safari Areas (including National Park land), located in the Lowveld region of southeastern Zimbabwe. Covering approximately 50,000 hectares, the terrain is predominantly flat with numerous rocky kopjes (mountain outcrops) scattered throughout. The landscape is further enriched by many small streams and the mighty Save River, which flows north to south through the conservancy.
The vegetation is characterized by extensive Mopane and Leadwood forests, providing excellent habitat for diverse wildlife species.
Within the conservancy, we operate in two primary hunting blocks: Senuko 3 and Savuli, totaling about 14,000 hectares. These areas are supported by two safari camps featuring luxury tented accommodation, offering guests a comfortable and immersive wilderness experience.
The Save Valley Conservancy is renowned for its abundant wildlife, including large populations of plains game, sable, nyala, buffalo, lion, leopard, and elephant, making it a premier destination for trophy hunting and wildlife viewing.
