Matthew Fowler (March 2026)

Great trip! Great people! I had an unbelievable time here in Ngamo Forest, 

Stephan Schwall (December 2025)

Great people, a fantastic place, and incredible animals! It was an absolutely great experience during our big game hunting trip in Zimbabwe. We worked hard and successfully tracked down a very old elephant bull. Throughout our safari adventures, we had the opportunity to see 90 bulls and 265 cows and calves, which made our time with Richard Cooke Safaris truly unforgettable!

David Edwards (November 2025)

Many thanks to Terry and James Bell for a wonderful elephant hunt during our big game hunting adventure in Zimbabwe. Great company, great hunting, and an unforgettable experience with Richard Cooke Safaris. We will be back as long as you will have us. Many thanks again!

Steve, Pam, Kasey & Kaseman (May 2025)

What an amazing safari adventure! This incredible experience was a gift for my grandson (19 YRS OLD), who participated in big game hunting and successfully harvested a great cape buffalo and a really nice impala. Rich from Richard Cooke Safaris 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 helped us throughout the process. Much love to the Cookes: Steve, Pam, Kasey, and Kaseman.

Jesse, Jessica & Will Killebrew (July 2025)

It has been a lifelong dream of mine to come to Africa and experience big game hunting!! 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 along with a variety of other plains game during our hunting Zimbabwe adventure. The Cookes have a world-class operation with Richard Cooke safaris, and I can't wait to return for a leopard and a tuskless. Jesse, Jessica, and Will Killebrew

Anne and Tony Masino (July 2025)

This was my wife's safari adventure, her third and first experience with big game hunting. We've had an outstanding time here in Matetsi Unit 4. Anne has successfully hunted 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 PHs. However, Richard Cooke safaris stand out as he is one of the hardest working professionals I've known. The trackers, kitchen staff, and laundry staff are top-notch. We're also spending five nights in Victoria Falls, arranged by Richard's lovely wife, Belinda. We'll definitely be back for more hunting Zimbabwe experiences!

Paris and Cindy Jenkins (August 2025)

From the moment we stepped foot in Zimbabwe for our  hunting adventure, we were greeted as if we were old friends. The people are truly wonderful. We were introduced to our driver and our PH, Dean Peel. Our driver brought us cold drinks and snacks, making our experience even more enjoyable. Dean was very informative and polite. I must say that Richard Cooke and his wife Belinda really went all out to make us comfortable during our safari adventures. They surrounded us with only the BEST people possible. We will definitely be back and will only book our future hunts with Richard Cooke Safaris!


Thank you to all the staff who made this the BEST TRIP and 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
