Congratulations on a great hunt. Thank you for taking the time to write your report and take us along on your adventure. Zim is on our short list of places to hunt.

Awesome hunt and a great write-up. Thanks for taking us along with you. CMS and Alan are the best in the business. I hunted with them last year and I’m returning next year.

By the way, an Eland in Dande is no easy feat. Well done and sounds like an excellent trip all around.

I have a safari to Dande booked for the same time period. What are the temperatures and bug like in July?

I can’t recall exactly now, but 50/60s in morning and maybe low 90s in day. It still gets hot, but the difference from October is it does cool down nicely in evenings. There are tsetse control measures along the main road so tsetses aren’t too bad but increase as you approach Chewore. Mopani bees can be thick in places like anywhere. Bring a breathable neck gaiter you can pull over your nose and ears while walking and a bug net for sitting.

I'm not excited to run into the Mopani's again. They were not fun.
