I hunted with Valie Enslin of That's Africa Safaris. We hunted a game reserve totalling 367K acres bordering the Gonarezhou National park in Zim and the Save river to the North.

Crossing the Limpopo

Last petrol before we headed in to camp.

Camp was comfortable, the food was very good, the rooms had bathrooms and showers with hot and cold water, electricity was provided by generator.

I saw plenty of wildlife, both species were were targeting and ones we were not.

A couple of bulls at a pan getting a mid-day drink.

A very nice Kudo

Nyala bull, the most beautiful of the antelope species to my eye.

I was in awe of the size of my Eland bull, just huge. It is amazing how such a big animal can be so graceful.

Nice sold bosses on my buff but not that wide. Might have to try for another on a future trip.

I very much enjoyed my first African safari and will return again. Valie was an excellent PH, the Shangaan trackers were truly amazing. The food and accommodation were quite good.

It was HOT! By far the hottest I have ever experienced during a hunting trip. The bright side was that you can see farther during the dry season and the animals congregate around the pans. That said, I might try a cooler period next trip.

I will certainly return.

congrats on a successful safari! thanks for sharing!
 
Congrats. What month was the trip?
 
October of last year.
I did October in Mozambique once. It is hot. But it is also likely why you were able to get that nice Livingstone Eland. They can be hard to find before they start thinking about the rut. Congrats on an obviously successful hunt. And what a Kudu!
 
October is too late for anywhere and beginning of the rainy season.
Same for March and April.
It was indeed very hot, I was quite happy with the results despite the heat though. We just dodged the rain, right after I took my Buff the temperature dropped and it began to rain. I know Valie took one client in November and they got the Buff that they were after.
 
Very nice Safari!
 
Congrats and thanks for sharing!
 
Wonderful animals in a truly wild area. Well done!
 
Some beautiful trophies congratulations. The kudu genetics there look very impressive. I personally like hunting October. I’ve had very good luck as water gets more scarce and end of season can open more options up to you.
 
Congrats! Well done!
 
Congrats some great animals! I really like the look of tha kudu well done!
thanks for sharing .

That’s an ignorant comment to make.

October is the best month to hunt in some parts of Mozambique.
 
Very nice trophies. Thanks for posting.
 
Very nice first trip! Congrats.

Is this rifle sold? If not what is the weight of it and do you know if there is enough difference in diameter between the 35W and the 9.3 to allow for a rebore to a 9.3x62 which is what I am after?
Thanks,
Gary (Just down the road in Springfield)

Forgive me if this is the incorrect area, I signed up to this forum just now because I wanted to be on the list to purchase a copy of your autobiography. Please feel free to pass my information along to whomever is selling. Thank you so much. I look forward to it!
I like the Tillie in my picture. They are supposed to fit loose (2 fingers inside hat band), have mesh for cooling, and hold their shape after washing.
