Mbalabala Safaris has been hunting in Zimbabwe since 1987 and in that time we have built a good reputation for big game trophies. We only hunt in the best areas in Zimbabwe to ensure you have the best possible hunt.
About Mbalabala Safaris
Begun by Charlie and Pam Stanton, over 20 years ago, Mbalabala safaris offers a unique hunting experience in the southern part of Zimbabwe. The hunting season takes place during the winter months, between April and October, when the bush is sparse, water scarce and the game is in perfect condition. Lindon (Charlie and Pam's youngest son) is now a director in the company and is starting to take over the reigns.
Our Camps
