I have only been once and that was to Chawalo Wilderness Moz in 23 and that ended up a classic track hunt for Buffalo with last day success. I am returning to Coutada 10 in July mainly for Leopard but I will kill a buffalo also. In fact I never plan to go back to Africa without buffalo on the...

Buffalo, Hippo, Croc Moz 23 Buffalo Leopard Moz this June Lion, Buffalo 29 Zim (maybe 28) Elephant, Buffalo 32 Zim (maybe 31?)

Amazing collection! Sending pic to a buddy that works for Rigby presently here in the US.

Goodness where do I begin. Well first trip was 2023 and we are headed back in July and already contemplating 2029……..or maybe 28? I went from “just wanting to experience it one time” to “I cant wait to return”. I had no idea the allure, the immediate addiction that is wild Africa. It wasn’t...

Great rifle. And I love pre-owned guns with some history!!!

First DG hunt was in Moz in 23 (Buffalo, Hippo, Crock) heading back to Moz to C10 for Leopard and Buffalo in July. Turned 66 this year.......currently it's "Big 7 by 77".....but road miles do add........gotta have hernia repaired in couple weeks that was caused by some inappropriate heavy...

Welcome!!! I am in Texarkana the Tx side!!! Mozambique is Old Africa you will love it!!! I was in Chawalo on the Zambezi in 23 for Buffalo Hippo and Croc. Headed back this July for Leopard and Buff. This forum is absolutely your best friend for planning and prep!!!!!

I never thought I would desire to hunt Elephant, until my first safari in Mozambique. We had a very large very mature cow charge us out of nowhere while chasing buffalo on an island in the Zambezi. We had seen multiple elephants already and had mock charges, but this wasn't mock and she died...

I have only spoken with the folks at Splitting Image.

In 2023 I hunted Chawala Wilderness of Mozambique w Russ Lovemore. Had a great hunt took a Buffalo, Hippo, Croc and nice Bushbuck (I wrote the hunt up and posted pics on here). This website was very helpful in preparing me for this hunt. The only issue I had (and maybe this is “normal”) was...

Thank you, the response here has been very encouraging!!

Agreed.......it's the reason I will continue to use Gracy Travel, they're just the best. My 30 yr old daughter will join us for the first week. It will be her first safari. I told her same when she asked about arranging her travel, just call Gracy do what they tell you.

Yes I assume Debbie checked everything. We were trying to squeeze in 3 days fishing at Vilanculos at the beginning and flying Qatar would have likely worked if we had booked flights in early Nov. I had a fist fulla Avios pts and Qatar had a special going on with multiple higher value point...

Just sounds like everyone wants to avoid JNB? I’ve never been through there, wife and daughter did 15 yrs ago but things have changed in SAfr bigley since then.
