Martin Pieters Safaris Zimbabwe 2015 newsletter # 1

After a very successful series of shows in the USA and Europe, we headed back to Zimbabwe to start preparing camps and concessions for the season.

March saw us upgrade our Flagship camp, Ume with the addition of en suite facilities to all the chalets as well as new décor and facilities inside each room Anti poaching activities have been increased with the assistance of National parks as well as MAPP ( Matusadonna Anti Poaching Program ) and we have been highly successful with making sure we keep the poachers out. We continually notice improvements in game numbers and quality.

We started off with an early season elephant hunt in the Omay with Jan taking a good elephant bull in the Jesse.

Our first early season buffalo hunt was a success with a good dagga boy going down on day 2.

A 14 ‘ crocodile went down on day 3 of a 5 day short crocodile safari plains game safari and Tim joined us for his 5th safari taking an excellent nyala down in one of our southern areas.

The first leopard/ plains game hunt down in our Southern concession, the Bubiana Wildlife area was a complete success with a great leopard taken on day 6 as well as several excellent plains game animals. This was Jack’s 3rd safari with me, the first being in the Chobe and Okavango in 2001, great memories with an old friend.

May is a great month for us as we have a dozen safaris on the go from the Omay to Matetsi as well as the second leopard hunt down in Bubiana, will update as soon as I have more material.

Hunt hard....stay safe.
From your Martin Pieters safaris team

I'll resound that: Hunt hard and stay safe.

Congrats to your PH's and your hunters.
 
Some spectacular country and a million dollar view from the cabins on the Ume river.
 
Great season start! And good luck with the rest of the season..
 
Nice newsletter and great to see some trophy pics from this year. I can't wait to get there myself.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
