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

Buffalo and hopefully a big Kudu. The Grey Ghost has thus far eluded me in Zim. My other guys are hunting Buffalo mostly but some hippo/croc as well. I love to see new areas and I love to hunt with @DALTON & YORK SAFARIS !
I so wish I could take this late season offer.
Yes. This offer is great. Would be tempting if I hadn’t already been to Zim this year. Hopefully you’ll get a shot at a big Kudu. I saw a few in the Omay on our first hunt, but not big enough. Maybe they’ve grown quite a bit since then.
 
Don’t forget when we hunted together with them two years ago I thought one of the hunters before us got a 60 inch kudu if I remember correctly. His hunt overlapped with ours

Yes and York and I saw 11 Kudu bulls in one group in the Omay! We just couldn't out smart that many eyes. I'll try again in Nyakasanga.
 
On last June’s Chewore south hunt. Early in the hunt we spotted an all white Kudu in the 55” range. The grey stripes still showed. But other than that a normal bull.

The sticks went up a few times as we chased him. I finally had him in the crosshairs at just over 100 yards. he was facing me and all I had was a front chest shot.

The trackers grabbed my wife’s 308 so I was running with it and at the time still had not shot anything with the 100 grain Safari raptor so was hesitant to take the frontal on a Kudu with that bullet and let him walk off.

Of course, after that and eight Impala later, I learned it would’ve easily killed the Kudu. but did not want to take the chance.

Then throughout the Hunt when we were in the area, I would like to go after the Kudu the trackers told the PH they preferred to let him go as they saw some kind of magic in him. So we didn’t target him anymore.

I saw a 55+ inch but Dalton couldn't make out the horns where he was standing and we never got a shot off. I was on the sticks with his shoulder in my crosshairs.
 
So everyone knows this awesome offer and value is what I paid TWO years ago for a great hunt!!! Nicely done!!! If I did not have my youngest child getting married!!!

C'mon, you should still go. I'll be flying solo, would be a blast. And I mean, in reality, some folks get married all the time. In some ways, marriages are like safaris. While expensive, they can also prove rewarding and fun, just also like safaris, don't try too many in too short of a timeframe.

And please don't tell your kiddo I said that. Just congrats.

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.

There is a lot of luck involved in getting a kudu there. Tough to find, tough to keep in the sights
 
Good day ladies and gentlemen I hope you are all well . I would like to say thank you for all the supportive comments and kind words as well as all the interest .

All these hunts have been sold .

Have a blessed weekend and hopefully see you all soon at the shows or around the fire in camp

Regards dalton

Yes those big ones are there!
 
I hope to be prepared next time for offers like this one. I'd love to hunt with this outfitter. Good luck to those who purchased these hunts. (y)
 
I just returned from an epic, adrenaline-filled buffalo experience!
I can't thank Dalton enough for the magnificent and thrilling hunt he gave me! I'll write a hunting report of this amazing hunt here

Gents, the Omay is amazing. I just eclipsed the 1/2 way mark of my ten days here and have remained like an awe struck child every single day. First time to Zimbabwe and first with Dalton & York…but so hope it will not be my last…by many times over. I want to wrestle Scott for his role as camp manager and simply move in.

I ended up on this trip as a last moment deal due to efforts for a bull elephant fell through…and so fortunate it did. While I still need to fulfill that dream, this trip with D&Y has exceeded all expectations thus far…even with them pretty high to start.

I’ll do a full report upon my return, but with @Philip Glass and @Rare Breed mentioning kudu, had to share that Gareth and client took a brilliant bull just before my hunt. 63”. I haven’t seen anything but cows and young kudu bulls, but that’s just what we’ve come across looking for other things. Seems the Omay has so much to offer and these gents are totally dialed in. Gareth has remained enthusiastic to entertain my double fancies, letting the deuce bark when situation is right. Just back in camp now after catching up with a big warthog we saw earlier in the week…gave him an introduction to Heym 450.

One of my surprise joys has been seeing elephant every single day. Watched a bull cross the big sand bar Out front of my hut from the bed just this morning just before sun up. Such a wondrous place.

Here is a cropped photo of the HUGE kudu that Gareth and client just took.

The Omay is amazing and @DALTON & YORK SAFARIS are managing it very well. The numbers and trophies are getting better every year. Now if I could just get a Kudu like that!

I have no idea the shipping cost from here to Costa Rica. I can do my research on shipping and get back with you later today.

I didn't see your request re: ship co’s. My last shipment was 2023. Quotes from SBS Logistics ($1,198), Badger Cargo ($1,184 - used them) & AHG Trophy Shippers ($1,746). AHG owner's an asshole so wouldn't have used him anyway. Eastern Cape - Houston, TX, so your mileage may vary. NEVER use Karl Human Taxidermy aka Wild Africa Taxidermy on Eastern Cape. Trophies arrived shattered with no padding/packing material.
