Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe

For over 30 years, Richard Cooke Safaris has offered traditional big game hunting in some of Zimbabwe's most sought-after hunting concessions - Ngamo Sikumi Forest and Matetsi Unit 4. Our safaris are conducted in true free-range (unfenced) conditions, where wildlife roams unbounded and every hunt is a genuine adventure guided by deep bush knowledge, integrity, and respect for the land.

What an amazing safari! This safari was a gift for my grandson (19 YRS OLD). He harvested a great cape buffalo and a really nice impala. Rich taught him so much, and Kaseman did well with his instruction. This was a dream come true for me, his grandmother, SO PROUD! Thank you to everyone on staff here. A special thanks to Rich and Belinda who have hepled us through the process. Much love to the Cookes. Steve, Pam, Kasey, and Kaseman

It has been a lifelong dream of mine to come to Africa and hunt!!

Without a doubt, this trip exceeded every expectation I could have had. I brought my son and my wife, and we had a blast. Dean Peel, our PH, was amazing. I got a cape buffalo, and my son harvested a sable plus a bunch of other plains game.

The Cookes have a world-class operation. I can't wait to return for a leopard and a tuskless.

This was my wife's safari, her third and first dangerous game safari. We've had an outstanding time here in Matetsi Unit 4. Anne has shot two big bull giraffes, a zebra, five impala, a 54" kudu, a very nice waterbuck, an incredible lion and a sable over 40". As far as the PH, Richard Cooke, is concerned. this is my 8th safari and I've always had good PH's. Richard, however, is one of the hardest working I have known. The trackers, kitchen staffand laundry staff are top notch. We're spending five nights in Victoria Falls, arrnaged by Richard's lovely wife, Belinda. We'll be back!!!

From the moment we stepped foot in Zimbabwe, we were greeted as if we were old friends. The people are so wonderful. We were introduced to our driver and our PH, Dean Peel. Our driver brought us cold drinks & snacks. Dean was very informative & polite. I must say that Richard & his wife Belinda really went all out to make us comfortable. They surrounded US with only the BEST people possible. We will definitely be back and will only book our Future hunts with them!!

Thank you to all the staff that have made this the BEST TRIP & Time of our Life!! This trip was by far one that I will never forget! Dean is an amazing PH, so thoughtful and patient with me. 

Sincerely,

Cindy Jenkins
