As a young boy, he grew up on a remote farm on the northeast side of Zimbabwe, near the Mozambique border, where tobacco, maize, and wheat were cultivated. The farm was also home to an array of wildlife, and a river full of fish ran through it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From a very young age, Pete had a profound passion for outdoor activities such as hunting, fishing, and conservation, as well as a love for dogs and wildlife. This passion has remained with him throughout his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a boy, he aspired to become a National Parks Ranger, and he eventually joined the Game Department for seven years. However, due to the unfavorable political climate under Mugabe in the 1980s, he was forced to leave. He then spent two years managing wildlife in protective areas before embarking on a full-time professional hunting career with Hunters Safaris in 1988, which was then owned by Roger Whittall and Barrie Duckworth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During his more than 20 years with Hunters Safaris, Pete hunted extensively throughout Zimbabwe and Mozambique. In 2009, he established his own safari company, focusing solely on the top hunting areas in Zimbabwe. He is committed to placing each of his clients in the most appropriate area for the species they desire and is unwilling to book hunts in mediocre areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pete is highly regarded globally as a result of his integrity and ethical standards, as well as his prowess as a professional hunter. He always prioritizes the welfare of wildlife before his interests. He has a strong support system of other exceptional professional hunters and staff who share his high standards. Over many years of conducting hunting safaris, he has established an excellent reputation, resulting in a large clientele base. Approximately 80% of the hunts he conducts are with returning clients. Clients who book with Pete can be confident that they are in capable hands, as he guarantees their satisfaction.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr
