Dindingwe Safaris is owned and operated by Ian Rutledge.  Ian is a native Zimbabwean who has been a licensed professional hunter in Zimbabwe for nearly twenty years.

Dindingwe Safaris operates in two main concession areas in Zimbabwe.  The Dande Concession is located in the Northeastern region of Zimbabwe in the Zambezi Valley.  The Big Four can be taken in the Dande Concession and this is where most of the dangerous game hunting occurs.  There is also very good hunting for kudu, bushbuck, impala and warthog here.

Dindingwe Safaris other concession is located in the Midlands region in central Zimbabwe.  Here you can find excellent plains game hunting for kudu, eland, wildebeest, tsessebe, bushbuck, waterbuck, sable, zebra, giraffe, impala and warthog.  The leopard hunting in the Midlands is great and all of the cats are big bodied.  We also cater to the constantly growing bow-hunter population.  We have ground blinds in superb position so that bow-hunters can enjoy hunting truly wild Africa.  Most of the hunting occurs on the Black Rhino Conservancy and it is a great and rare opportunity to see the threatened Black Rhino in the wild.
