For those interested in Buffalo hunting with Gary Hopkins, in Gokwe or Sondelani, I'll give my thoughts. First off, Gary is a very experienced PH, he will always give his all to help you have a successful hunt. I have used his service in many areas of Zimbabwe. Sondelani is fenced, it concerned me until I hunted there. At 20,000 acres, it’s no cow pasture! There is no put and take of the Buffalo, they are born and live on Sondelani, same as any wild area. Buff are hunted by tracking, the cover is fairly thick, helpful to work in close for a shot.
I've taken five Buff here with my iron sighted , double rifle. There is a variety of plains game also found here, I've taken Eland, Wildebeest, Bushbuck and Impala at Sondelani. Hunting with Gary Hopkins at either Gokwe or Sondelani is a good experience, at a reasonable cost.

Gary Hopkins is a very experienced PH. His code of ethics is impeccable. I have hunted with Gary Hopkins many times since 2004 and have taken everything from Elephant to Steinbock.
At the Sondelani hunting area I took a very nice old Bull Buffalo, and saw some massive bulls that I could not get on to. I have also taken Steinbock , Klipspringer and a very nice Impala.
Buffalo, Giraffe, Impala, wildebeest, Kudu, warthog ,bushbuck, zebra and Eland are also in the area. I hunted Sondelani in September conditions are hot and bush is starting to dry out . Like almost all hunting it is best first thing in the morning and right at dark in the evening. Sondelani is a very relaxing camp to hunt out of as it is close enough to the hunting area to eat lunch at camp, this is also very nice if you have your wife and kids along was successful on all my hunts with Gary. You will be happy if you hunt with Gary. .
