Bow Hunting Guides

The Z.P.G.A. is proud that Zimbabwe’s Hunting Guides are recognized as the highest qualified in Africa and amongst the highest qualified worldwide, all of the Z.P.G.A. members practice “fair chase” and all members undergo rigorous training on animal behaviour and life cycles ensuring that they understand which animals to select in a sustainable and ethical manner that ensures correct off take and alignment to research-based management policies.

Whilst all large game hunting is led by qualified Hunting Guides there is an additional Bow hunting endorsement that is required before any form of bow hunting is permitted. The Z.P.G.A. recognises this certification.
