Profile ß

Mark Jansen

Mark is a born and bred Zimbabwean. He was born into a hunting family where from an early age knew he wanted to make a life from hunting. He excelled in art and rugby at school. After finishing his education he was accepted as a Learner Hunter (apprentice) with Zambezi Hunters under Johnny Hulme. This was for 2005 and 2006. An opportunity presented itself with the Zimbabwe National Parks and Wildlife, where he would be involved in the Problem Animal Control (PAC) program. He has dealt with crop raiding elephant and hippo, livestock killing predators such as lion and leopard, and buffalo control in 'foot and mouth' problem areas. This has given him unrivalled experience in hunting elephant. He also travelled to Botswana where he assisted with problem Leopards on cattle farms.

Mark can be described as a quiet man until he has something to say. He has a natural presence in the bush; coupled with vast experience and a deep understanding of dangerous game behaviour. His goal is to ensure his client gets the whole experience that they envisioned and come to appreciate Zimbabwe as he does.
