Hunting SA or "Wild" Africa - Which is Better

[KWALATA SAFARIS]

Well, if trying to get all in ONE hunt I think you have to go to RSA or Tanzania (expensive) mainly due to Wildebeest. In Zim the only place I have seen wildebeest has been at Hwange National Park, I think they have been hunted out everywhere else. Not sure about Mozambique maybe @KWALATA SAFARIS can pipe in regard to that.

Now, one thing you can do is do an RSA hunt for the PG and then fly to Zim for your wild buffalo. Get it done in two weeks or slightly more. Logistics is easy. There are Zim outfitters that advertise here for reasonable costs for buffalo.

Hi Tanks!!
Niassa has the unique Nyassa Wildebeest. All hunting can be done as pg species are prolific and your hunting what is commonly regarded as the Rolls Royce of wild Buffalo hunting in Africa.
Best as always.

Just got home from Nashville. My first SCI show. Much bigger than I thought. Great time and now I'm more pumped(if that is even possible). Going back to the Caprivi for 25 days. Went with Omujeve and had such a great hunt I am going back with them again.
Still looking for a Kimber 8400 Caprivi in 375 H&H. Went to the kimber booth and was told that they may start making them again this fall. Too late for me. Their rep is going to check with some of their dealers to see if he can locate one.

One short story. On my trip last July when I shot my buff he was in a herd and we were in the high reeds. The shot was about 25 yds. After the shot I couldn't see a thing from the dust cloud. When it settled i asked me PH where the buff went. He said it ran in the reeds we were in. The rest of the herd went to the river and into Botswana. My PH called for the truck and we climbed up on the back. We started to go ni the reeds and we heard the buff thrashing around. We quicly backed out and here he came with two male lions hanging on him. I shot and knocked him down and the lions took off back into the reeds. They must have been within 50 yds of us hunting the same heard as we were. Pretty exciting to say the least.

Thank you Gerry, I was able to purchase the Kimber. Now I have to decide on which one to take to Namibia. My CZ550 Magnum,my Christensen or my Kimber. The Christensen is probably out as it is a push feed. I will shoot the cz and the Kimber to see which one feels the best to me. The Kimber has the mental advantage because it is a Caprivi and that is where I am hunting.

I just read several pages on this thread trying to get caught back up on it after not seeing it since right after it got started.

Wow. Interesting at times to say the least.

It is really all about what you are looking for, collecting animals or the experience of the Robert Ruark's of the world. Wild will create memories of the total experience. And for an old man that is what is is all about.
