Hmm, I see what you mean, a formal brick building doesn't do it for me either. Not a fan of the black leatherette chairs either. A camp either has it, or it doesn't.

yes,, actually I pointed out this to Chris, which he told me he would work on it.

It is important for outfitters (and also for PH) to not only deliver a good service, but to pretend they are providing a "true old days safari" experience. At the end of the day, we all like to shower with hot water, have wifi, etc,,, but we all like to belief we are in the middle of nowhere sounded by mighty critters and surviving.

I just came back from there. In my intro to the forum I have posted my photos. Happy to share a full album and/or insights in detail with whom ever wants more info.
I would rate this safari with a 4 start out of 5. This means, I would recommend to book with Chris.
I got a superb kubu, decent old buffalo and average elphant,,, in only 6 days of hunting. it was mean to be a 7 day safari, but since I got my hunt done early, I went back to visit Vic.Falls.

My notes: Camp is ok but doesn't feel like a hunting camp. Decent amount of game. Great staff. Very professional. Good vehicles. Decent quality. Do not expect to shoot a bigger elephant than 40lb.
DM me for further details!

Hello AH,

[Kevin Peacocke]

Yes, please tell us more.

Can you elaborate? It sounds like a very string opinion

Hi, how were you satisfied with the camp? I am going probably to the same camp this year.
Something new about Dumazulu Safaris?

Hi Chris, so, if you ask if I would personally go with Dumazuku again, I would say no. You can give me a call anytime and I'll be happy to elaborate more. Chris (Dumazulu's owner) is an excellent operator and runs his operation flawlessly BUT he is not a hunter nor has never worked (as far as I know) at a hunting safari operation. This means that 100% you'll get what ever you book with him, car nd PH will be ready every morning, etc etc,,, but again, I believe we all go to international hunts to experience more thant just a flawless operation, for example to feel like we are in an actual hunting camp and not a hotel on the side of the main road. Too many details to point out and as mention before, you may call me to discuss this more in detail. My WhatsApp is +1.786.588.4666 (US- Miami based).
