    ZIMBABWE: Arnold Payne & Impala African Safaris Nightmare

    It's these kind of posts that lead me to believe little of what you say, baseless speculation! No I am not marketing hunts for anyone! My first post over a year ago was that I booked my first safari. I have hunting around but never Africa. I said I can't comment on other areas in Africa but I...

    New book - Hunting the Spiral Horns - Kudu, the Top African Antelope

    This looks like a really good book! Kudu was at the top of my list and I was blessed to connect with one. This is on my list of books to get!

    ZIMBABWE: Arnold Payne & Impala African Safaris Nightmare

    I go back to the same thing, the original tone of these posts became quite inflammatory with no real substance behind them. When I see posts where a persons character is attacked and I experienced something different I want to offer my go two cents. I don't know of any company that can say 100%...

    ZIMBABWE: Arnold Payne & Impala African Safaris Nightmare

    I didn't say I deny anything, but I find your writing to be just accusations. Who is this friend of Arnold's? Would be interesting to hear, otherwise its just he said/she said. As far as the article from SW Radio Africa, I am not sure I buy that 100%. I have not talked with Arnold in awhile, but...

    ZIMBABWE: Arnold Payne & Impala African Safaris Nightmare

    Thats interesting, show what proof that you have that the previous owners on the Bubiana location that I hunted were put in the streets? As far as I saw the Drummond family had had that place for a long time. Meet Mrs. Drummond and she had been in the house for years. Saw where Ticky's...

    ZIMBABWE: First African Hunt

    Hello All, Thanks for the feeddback and fixing the pictures. I was not aware of how to properly link them. Yes, that is a Klipspringer as the others pointed out. We must have watched 20+ groupls of Klipspringers looking for one to get that stood still longer than 20 seconds. Saw a lot of the...

    Tipping Guide

    Thanks, sorry I meant travelers checks. My main concern was just having a lot of cash on me. I will be in SA for awhile so would Rand be better in Zimbabwe instead of US$ or Zimbabwe money?

    Tipping Guide

    Interesting post. This will be my first trip to Africa and like many it has taken three years to pay for this hunt. I have saved up for a tip and knowing my shooting they will earn ing! :) I am considered hand-capped and can't walk very far so we will be doing a lot of hunting from the truck. I...

Here is a story Kentuckiana Hunter about a plains game with a safari operator Arnold books for. This is the same trip I am going on as well. All is in line and I can't wait. May...

    Hello All, I have booked my first African safari for next year (2012). It is a 7 day 10 animal hunt with Impala Safaris. So far the owner Arnold Payne has been great to deal with. Would love to hear anything about y'alls trip to Zimbabwe. Jake
