Currently sitting in airport loung at OR Tambo, but I thought I could start a thread on the hunt we just wrapped up in Zambia. I booked with Steven Rufus of Shamwari Safaris, and we hunted the Kasonoso area on the Noryhern border of Kafue National Park. It was a very successful hunt. We took 7 animals: Sitatunga, buffalo, Reedbuck, Red Lechwe, Puku, Oribi, and Angolan Bush Duiker. There was significant lion activity in very close proximity to where we hunted the Sitatunga. I will write more details later as I get some time. In the meantime, here's some pics.

Very nice. :D Beers: Congratulations and looking forward to hearing the rest
 
Very cool. The sitatunga has always been interesting to me.
 
Congratulations, you had a heck of a good hunt! That Sitatunga is excellent, as is the Red Lechwe. Safe travels homeward…
 
Congrats Cecil! Followed your safari on FB. Well done...
 
Congratulations on a great hunt, I love the look of that buffalo and a very nice sitatunga as well
 
Congratulations, looking forward to the write up!
 
Congrats, great trophies !
 
Excellent looking trophies and the weather looked pretty spectacular too.
 
Great hunt, congratulations. Safe travels home. I was sitting at OR Tambo coming home from Zambia 9 days ago. Still haven’t adjusted to being at home yet. Hard to go from tracking Buffalo to being in the office!:ROFLMAO:

Nice Report! Im about to pull the trigger on booking the LDE with Patrick. I have been talking about it with him for about 3 yrs now. Romain hit me up the other day with an offer I can't refuse for 2027.

Andrew, I commented that your on 375 H&H for sale was the fair price.

Like I commented, my classic stainless has the original 24” barrel.

Did you buy yours with the barrel already cut down to 21” or did you do it (or a gunsmith)?
