I'll be fortunate once again to fly in Qatar's QSuite business class for our Zimbabwe Safari this July. My youngest son Jasper is graduating HS so the hunt and the plane ride are a bit of a graduation present. After seeing sky high prices for Delta and Qatar I was becoming discouraged about the...

Hi everyone Firstly great to meet you all a wonderful community got going here, an honor to join! Being young and inexperienced myself I being part of the upcoming generation, would love to hear some of your suggestions/ advice. I have done a couple of safaris in South Africa which have been...

August 10-19, 2023 My third trip to the Omay was to be for leopard and possibly buffalo. I would have some companions on this trip which was to make for a fun time. @TOBY458 would be making his second appearance in the Omay and I would have @Rare Breed , Craig Hodnett (AKA the foot terrorist)...

Trip Report - Zimbabwe & Tanzania 2022 I had organized a group of hunters for a 10 day hunt in Zimbabwe and then fairly last minute for me I booked a hunt in Tanzania as well. It would be another 10 day hunt immediately following the Zimbabwe hunt. This made for an interesting flight itinerary...

After an epic lion hunt in 2016, I knew I would someday return to the Zambezi Valley of Zimbabwe for another safari. At some point, I decided I would begin planning a return to the Omay and take a few others along with me to share the experience. A safari of this nature does take a bit of...

Well known and highly respected PH, Paddy Curtis, was murdered in his Bulawayo home in early morning darkness. Apparently, he opened his door to let his dogs out and robbers were waiting outside and ambushed him. He was able to send out an SOS for help, but they arrived too late. He was found...

Qatar announced new service to directly compete with Emirates. They will serve Zambia and Zimbabwe with the same flight much like Emirates does. This is just one more option for those of us traveling to these destinations and puts price pressure on that big airline that flies out of ATL...

This 17' Bushbuck was taken with a 416 Weatherby Magnum, 410gn Woodleigh Weldcore Soft Nose Bullet at 80 yards in 1998 Zimbabwe.

My hunting trip was supposed to had place last year. Due to Covid 19 pandemic the flights were cancelled, so we had to postponed it to 2021. We settled the dates for April 2021 and I bought new tickets. Not far from departure date, with permits already filed, the airline reduced frequency on the...

We could not have been more blessed to have been able to hunt with Wayne Van Den Bergh of @Nyamazana Safaris this past December. Amongst all the hassles with travel restrictions and lockdowns, Wayne helped us to be able to end the 2020 year with one of our most memorable hunts. His dedication to...

Hi everyone, I've been looking through this site for some time now and decided to sign up at last! I'm an Outfitter based in the Limpopo Province of South Africa. My primary camp is situated on 4000 Hectares in the Soutpansberg Area of the Limpopo Province. I operate Safaris in both South...

Hi there Gents and Outfitters ! I have a keen interest to book a Cape Buffalo hunt in Zimbabwe. So here it goes and what we are looking for in the hunt. ( Me and my Brother) From the subject line, one could have an idea of the adventure. Why Zimbabwe? well many years ago I have visited Zim as...

Fall is knocking at our door and with it comes excitement for bird and big game hunting seasons. Like most everyone else around here, I find myself short on time (and money) but long on enthusiasm :D I know if I don’t get this hunt report started now it will be long overdue by the time I get...

Perhaps some of you guys who live over there can offer a comment. From where I sit in Texas, it just seems to me Mugabe needs to shut his festering gob and go away. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jul/29/robert-mugabe-zanu-pf-zimbabwe-election

For those in the know. Do you think that elephant trophy fees in Zimbabwe as well possibly other countries are generally slowly going down or up? Would this be because quotas are getting larger due to elephant populations rising? or because there is less hunter interest or ability to afford...

Taken from FB, a post from @Ivan Carter. Thoughts On The Administration’s Looming Lifting of the Ban on Elephant Trophy Imports There is a substantial amount of rhetoric surrounding the current U.S. administration’s looming decision on the import ban applying to elephant and lion...

Altnough related to the below thread I thought this was important enough to post separately, especially now that the lift of the ban has made the mainstream news. https://www.africahunting.com/threads/elephant-imports-now-allowed-from-zimbabwe-zambia.40929/ I've only had time to scan the...

While India has been closed, and magnificent biodiversity, a country to the east is not closed. This is a small country with rich culture, little tourism is open to hunting. I managed to get the laws for this country. It is a little hard to understand. Zimbabwe looks like Mexico compared to...

This hunt was my 50th birthday present to myself, and from my loving and understanding wife. Hunting Elephant.... I dreamed of it as a small boy. I never thought it would happen, but I dreamed of it. The McMillan trophy room.... This was a large part of my dream...

I did a piece for NRA on how politics may threaten the future of hunting in South Africa. https://www.nrahlf.org/articles/2017/8/18/south-african-economy-spells-peril-for-wildlife/ I would be interested in your thoughts. South African Economy Spells Peril for Wildlife In our...

I can't wait, its one week to go. I can't wait to pack it up and get gone! I can't wait to shoot my .375 a final time, I can't wait to count and weigh my ammo, again... I can't wait to make that final decision on what I really NEED to take, I can't wait to pack my bags checking my list at least...

Hi everyone, I am new to posting on this forum although I have been an observer for many years. Whats led me to finally posting is I am in a bit of a dilemma, and I would love to hear everyone's thoughts. I am dead keen to go on a buffalo hunt next year in Zimbabwe (I am ex-Zimbabwean so its...

This was my first African trip and I was hunting with Mokore Safaris. I chose Mokore Safaris after meeting PH Gary Duckworth at Dallas Safari Club a few years ago. I kept in touch with Gary over the years prior to my trip via email and I would have to say that he was one of the most...

Summer 2015 was a disaster for sport hunting. Dr. Walter Palmer hunted lion in Zimbabwe near Hwange National Park. His hunt was deemed legal but the media firestorm of the killing of a named, collared lion was never to end. As I have traveled I learned that this collaring, naming, and waiting...

I spent most of April in Zimbabwe with Martin Pieters Safaris. I hunted the Omay which is a 2 million acre Campfire area that Martin Pieters has hunted for many years. I was after lion, leopard, hyena, sable, crocodile, bushbuck, waterbuck, klipspringer, grysbuck, and others. We were on the...

I'm planning to go for a hunt in Zimbabwe in July this year. Wanted to know if anyone has hunted with Sentinel Limpopo safaris.
