Imire Safari Ranch
What is man without the beast? If all the Beasts were gone man would die from
great loneliness of spirit.
For whatever happens to the beasts soon happens to man
All are connected Chief Seattle
Just 105 kms by road east of Harare lies Imire Safari Ranch. A uniquely rich and
diverse area; this rolling bushveld of indigenous flora and fauna offers an
extraordinary experience not to be found anywhere else. Within the ranch is
Sable Lodge where you are able to take your self out of the world of
materialism, cell phones, televisions and all of the 1st worlds trappings. Come
into our world of a simple farmhouse lodge consisting of 8 thatched rondavel
cottages with en suite bathrooms set in the heart of the ranch. Our lodge is
small, our staff are dedicated, the atmosphere is intimate and friendly and you
will get the attention and service you deserve.
Imire will take you on a journey way back in history to the Stone Age, where
decorative pots, arrow heads and stone tools have been recovered. Through to the
Iron Age where there is evidence of iron ore smelters, iron bracelets ancient
ovens....to a Golden Burial of a Princess who was shrouded in gold bracelets and
beads, dated to the 1600's. The Culture of Zimbabwe developed with the Bantu and
the importance of Castle kopje as a trading post is very significant... beads,
pots and gravestone heads show us that up until the early 1900's it was an
important feature in the landscape.
Our journey continues on... Imire have reintroduced back into the area, the
wildlife that was part of the Bantu people. Safari activities are filled with
perfect game viewing on foot or vehicle, with close up encounters of most of the
wild life including black and white rhino, elephant, lion, hyena, giraffe,
buffalo, crocodile, sable, wildebeest, blesbok, zebra, kudu, nyala and much
more, its ideal for the photographer. Elephant safari's, rhino tracking,
excellent birdwatching, bush walks and fishing are part of Imire's life, with
the Legend of Castle kopje always at the heart of your safari.
Your meals are served simply. Farm house breakfasts, picnic lunches al'fresco
style on a dam site, or just relax beside the pool and bar area which is set in
a glorious brachystegia woodland. Evening meals can be enjoyed in the outside
boma under the African starlit skies.
Imire Safari Ranch has its own magic ..in the shona language Imire means '''The
Meeting Place'' or ''The Waiting Place''; and thats what it is....for you to
arrive as visitors and leave as friends.
