Looks like Airlink and JNB are likely the cause for the change. Accepting only firearms and related items in the gun case. Delta is not entirely specific also allowing firearms, shooting equipment and tools, and you can package your firearms in a hard sided piece of luggage. Does this mean...

Can you tell me what this new rule is regarding Tuffpaks? Is this one person stating this or actual policy.

We have done the Vic Falls thing twice, once the wife and I with Hwange thrown in the other with the kids and grandkids. Both times I used some local people from the Falls who are in the travel business. Chris and Liz Worden Foot Steps of Livingstone The Hotel for a stay but at a minimum...

I second the Conservancy. Taking the family for second time in June for double buffalo. My wife does not hunt so we spend afternoons on plainsgame and finding the big 5. We are also in our 60’s, have done the SA thing and prefer Zim. Only a few spots left next year which should indicate the...

Have not hunted Chamalaya but have hunted in the area around that camp. Like all camps in the conservancy they are very good. Who are you hunting with and when.

You will not regret that option especially in the Conservancy.

Dyers is a great camp. Centrally located excellent buffalo

Had a Ranger with us in the Nyakasanga when it was the auction area but on any of the private lands including the Save and BVC have not had a ranger along. Agree with do things by the book.

We are in the Conservancy early to mid June. Another lovely camp. Took a big Hyena in Chamalaya.

Nengo and Samanyanga are the two, we have visited all the other camps looking them over with the exception of the camp in Malangani. This year we will spend time in Samanyanga and Malangani, and at least an afternoon out into the local community. My Wife loved Nengo as she could sit and watch...

If you have the opportunity to take your Parents and Wife and do a Buffalo hunt in Zimbabwe go and go to the Conservancy. You will have a great chance to see the Big 5, stay in a very comfortable Camp and everyone will have a great time. The area is over 800,000 Acres. If you head to some of...

Last trip 5 one shot Buffalo with partitions. Any of the modern bullets do well. I don’t bother saving every recovered round but the few I have saved are mushroomed as perfectly as any of those posted. Shot placement is most important.

Over the past several hunts I have used partitions in my 416 and have made several frontal, quartering and broadside shots resulting in one shot kills. (might be an insurance shot thrown in but that would happen using any bullet.). early on I used A frames but not as successfully. Could be...

Zim PH's drinking up all the beer on the ride back to camp does not sound right. Drinking the beer after the hunt is over and in camp, okay. Are a couple guys that hunt Charara that are good guys, but also seems to be some non Zim outfitters that go into that area. Two sides to this story I'm...

Niassa is easy enough to get to. If you go into JNB, the next day take the SA Airlink flight to Pemba and then you will take a charter to camp. For Big Buffalo later in the season is better. Dave Langerman has had great success for many years in the L7 concession and just this week he was...
