Plain-English concession guidance.
Short, practical explainers on the permitting, tenure, conservation and revenue questions that come up again and again on Zimbabwean hunting concessions — written to orient, with links to the templates that put each idea into practice.
General information only, not legal or investment advice. Confirm the current position with ZPWMA, the RBZ and qualified counsel before acting.
ZPWMA permitting & quotas
How hunting is authorised in Zimbabwe — the Parks and Wild Life Act, the role of the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority, how annual quotas are set on a sustainable-offtake basis, and the permits an operator needs before a single shot is fired.
Read guideConcession tenure
What you are actually leasing when you take a hunting concession — the difference between land rights and wildlife rights, tenure length and renewal, the landholder types you contract with, and why secure, long-dated tenure is what makes a concession financeable.
Read guideCITES & conservation
How international wildlife-trade rules shape Zimbabwean hunting — what CITES is, why species like elephant and leopard need export permits and quotas, the import side that determines whether a client can take a trophy home, and how regulated hunting funds conservation.
Read guideTrophy-fee revenue
How a hunting concession actually earns — daily rates versus trophy fees, the species fee schedule that drives gross revenue, the deductions that turn gross into net (permits, levies, CAMPFIRE, costs), and how USD trophy income is structured and repatriated.
