    ZIMBABWE: Hunt Report: Hunting The Omay With DALTON & YORK SAFARIS

    It is very big, and I think the hunting is getting better there throughout the concession because the guys spend a lot of effort and money on anti-poaching. When we flew out on the charter York had to drive down the runway and shoo away a herd of about 50 Buffalo. I was looking out the window as...

    ZIMBABWE: Hunt Report: Hunting The Omay With DALTON & YORK SAFARIS

    @Andrew62 I just now saw this thread and very nice hunt in the Omay. I want to add that I have hunted there twice with York and they now have a solution to the long drive from the Ume camp to the good hunting a couple of hrs away. They have built the McKenzie Camp much closer to the Sibilobilo...

    Educate me on Zimbabwe

    No one ever said they are, or were the concession holder. The concession holder has had Nyakasanga for awhile and sold the quota to several different outfits including CMS, Jannie Myer, D&Y and Paulil at Halsted. D&Y now has all the quota. Anything can happen with Zimbabwe Parks of course but...

    Educate me on Zimbabwe

    Regardless of what you are hearing (the shady part?) I have assurances that D&Y have the Nyakasanga quota secured for this year, next year, and the "forseeable future". It is possible that they may share (sell) some of it to other operators but I do know they are very busy booking their own...

    Educate me on Zimbabwe

    I believe Dalton and York do have the Nyakasanga quota for the next several years. I spoke with York recently and am booked there for Buffalo and Leopard for August of 2028. I have hunted the Omay with him twice and can't recommend anyone higher. Note also that Nyakasanga is a bit more expensive...

    Hawk Bullets

    I have used Hawk bullets on thin skinned plains game in Africa and they worked well but.... It was in a 9mm Mannlicher Schoenauer using the round nose bullets at less than 2,300 FPS. I think the round nose Hawks match well with those lower velocities. I do not have any experience with their...

    ZIMBABWE: DALTON & YORK SAFARIS - Chewore South 2025 Lion, Elephant, Buffalo & Hippo

    I have hunted with York a couple times and completely disagree with the trigger happy comment. This is based on the fact that while tracking a wounded Buffalo that I had shot, he asked if it was OK for him to shoot my animal on the follow-up to which I quickly agreed was a good idea. We tracked...

    DALTON & YORK SAFARIS 10-12 Day Buffalo / Hippo / Crocodile End Of Year Hunt Special 2025

    I was there last August with York and also on the sticks on a 50 plus before he vacated. We saw another Bull that was a bigger no brainer and could not get a shot. Good Kudu there but you gotta get lucky.

    Parking at Chicago OHARE (ORD) ???

    At PreFlight Parking you can get a reserved in advance spot for less than $20/a day. And like I said earlier their shuttle service is excellent.

    Who has Nyakasanga now?

    Yes, that is true for CMS. It was a small entirely tented camp. I think the D&Y camp will be tented also but with a stone and thatch dining/kitchen/bar area overlooking the river.
