EXPERIENCE THE MAGIC OF SOUTH AFRICA AT IMBASA SAFARI!

  Newsletter: AUGUST 2009

HUNT LEOPARD IN ZIMBABWE

Imbasa has recently afforded the opportunity to have 10 leopards available for a challenging hunt in Zimbabwe. The hunt can be done either with bait or with a pack of dogs – both of which are exciting and test your abilities as a hunter. All of this action can be captured on film by our professional videographer and the excitement can be taken home to be re–lived and showed to family and friends.


NEW ADDITIONS – BLESBUCK AND LECHWE

Imbasa has recently added new Blesbuck to the hunting camp and will be adding Lechwe shortly to the lodge camp in order to increase numbers and diversify our gene pools. The Lechwe will be a new species for Imbasa Safari and a great breeding project.

IMBASA SAFARI COMMUNITY PROJECT

Imbasa, together with Hunt the Sun, have been supporting our local community and school by donating some of the meat harvested from our hunting groups to people in need as well as extra warm clothing for the children in the area. We have also initiated a community project providing the needy people in our area where we can with warm blankets in the winter, school supplies, clothing and food. We would like to encourage any clients visiting Imbasa to join in with our project and make a donation. We encourage any supporters of this cause to contact Kate on info@imbasasafari.com and let us know where you can help.

BOW BLINDS

We have recently built four excellent pit blinds for the enthusiastic bow hunter and our first bow group have arrived to test them out. We have already harvested some great trophies from the new blinds. These blinds are also a great opportunity for photography enthusiasts allowing you to get within 15 meters from the animals and some great close–ups.


SPRINGBUCK DRIVEN HUNT

Our first driven springbuck hunt was held in May this year with nine guests enjoying the exciting two day hunt. The first day held great success with 77 springbuck being taken followed by a slower, but no less successful day of 32 animals. The hunt was challenging, exhilarating and most definitely a repeatable exercise. Contact us for package details.
