Our Story
 

Black Rhino Safaris began in the late 1980s when Russell and Colleen Pumfrey recognised an opportunity to offer visitors a more intimate and meaningful way to experience the Matobo Hills.
 

Their vision was simple: to go beyond traditional sightseeing and create experiences that allow guests to truly connect with the landscape, its wildlife and its remarkable cultural heritage.
 

That vision continues to inspire us today. Building on our legacy of exceptional guiding and personalised service, we remain committed to creating authentic safari experiences that leave our guests with lasting memories of Zimbabwe.
