    Day 4... Elephant Recovery Because we had gotten the elephant late in the day, we waited until today to recover the elephant. The crew from camp left at 6am to have time to start cutting the road into the elephant. We left camp at 7am, after a good breakfast. They hadn't yet completed...

    The buffalo we had encountered were just by chance. I believe he does most of his buffalo hunting from his other camp.

    ZIMBABWE: Elephant Hunt With Mbalabala Safaris

    Day 2 of hunting. Left camp at 6am heading to an area further out from camp. Almost ran over a herd of cattle sleeping in the middle of the road. You'd think they find a better place to sleep than the middle of the road. The area we went to was very hilly and rocky. About 10am we came...

    ZIMBABWE: Elephant Hunt With Mbalabala Safaris

    I always wanted to hunt elephant, but never really thought I'd be able to, then I saw the benefit raffle for Phillip Smythe. I thought I'd be donating to good cause. Didn't really expect to win, in fact completely forgot that I had entered. That changed in the beginning of February when I was...

    Seeking SA bowhunting camp advice near Kruger

    We went to Kruger after our archery hunt with @Limcroma Safaris in 2015. Our guide for the hunt ( Franco) also guided us in Kruger. It really helps having a guide that knows the park. We were able to see all of the big 5 in 3 days and had a great time.

    Bowhunting RSA?

    My daughter and myself bow hunted with Limcroma last year and had a great time. My plan was to start hunting from blinds then try spot and stalk as time permitted but a wildebeast who wouldn't die ( a day and a half later) and a bad shot on a wart hog(a half day) took too much time. I'm going...

    SOUTH AFRICA: BOWHUNT: Anyone Hunt with Madiakgama Safaris

    I'm planning on hunting 10 days. I figure to hunt from blinds first and then maybe try for 1 or 2 animals spot and stalk. I'm sure that it's not really difficult to bring a gun but I really want to hunt with a bow and if nothing else it will be less paperwork.
