I went on my first Safari last July in Zimbabwe, 10day hunt with tuskless being the main focus and ended up with great Impala & Bushbuck as well + I got to spend a couple of days fishing and caught a Voondoo catfish that was bigger than the one they had mounted over the bar.
This trip was more than a year and a half in the making and for the sake of brevity I will be splitting it up into two posts; one for the hunting and another later post for the lessons I learned along the way in planning and executing my first African hunt.
This being the hunting write up I'll start with the pertinent info....
Outfitter: Dalton & York Safaris
Area: Omay North
PH: Bruce Cronje
Weapons:
Sabatti .470 with Trijicon RMR 1 moa firing Woodleigh 500gr Hydro solids & Weldcore softs.
Ruger M77 MKII .300win Leupold Vari-XIII 4-14x40 firing hand loaded 200gr Partitions.
After many...
I couldn't have asked for a better first Safari, feel free to PM me if you have any questions.
