    Traveling to South Africa - Layover question

    I go through Atlanta frequently and have missed flights over the past two years because they close the departing gate 15 minutes prior to departure. They don’t care and will not hold the door. Past two weeks have had arriving planes held short of the gate as no one was there to operate the...

    MOZ Terrorist Attack..

    Mariri is the conservation and educational center for Niassa Lion Project and benefits the community. No hunting out of that camp but they do anti poaching. I believe it is across the river form Kambako about 15 km from the camp.

    MOZ Terrorist Attack..

    Once this clears up and becomes stabilized, I’m going to take the opportunity to book my Niassa hunt with David Langerman for this year as I will be able to pick my preferred dates. If it still is dicey then I can always postpone.

    ZIMBABWE: 10 Day Non-Trophy Buffalo Hunt

    You can never go wrong spending time with Dave. A wonderful person, besides being a fantastic PH. Hunting those old Bulls is a fantastic hunt. Especially in the thick stuff with Charity and Thomas working the track sometimes for hours.

    Save Conservancy or Bubye?

    I hunt with David Langerman in the Bubye usually on a ten day non trophy for two Buffalo and that typically is a decent deal given the number of old bulls. It is a higher daily rate than a 7 day non trophy. Have hunted the Save and have enjoyed the Bubye over the Save for Buffalo.

    Isn’t AES for Export? So traveling with guns that you return with does not apply??

    Has anyone used a good charter airplane company in Zimbabwe

    Mack Air! PM me and I’ll send you the contact details. Assume one of the southern conservancy’s, number of people would dictate the plane choice

    ZIMBABWE: Zim Hunt With Sharp & Langerman & A Kok Too

    The conservancy has a limited quota of Nyala but we have seen some fairly nice bulls over the years. Last trip I managed to take a nice one and this year my son was interested as this is done in some of the thickest bush, in an area he took a good bushbuck previously. First three days between...

    ZIMBABWE: Zim Hunt With Sharp & Langerman & A Kok Too

    We saw elephant most every day. Right now there seems to be a higher concentration in certain areas. A few bulls in must which always makes for an interesting encounter. A few years ago a number of bulls died as a result of a rat Bourne virus but there are still plenty around.

    Is the 275 Rigby up to larger Plains Game like kudu?

    Have loaded my 275 with 160 grain but will not attempt to take an Eland with it. Used a 416 on Eland just recently. 275 and 270 took wildebeest and Kudu this past trip.

    Small gifts for PH and tracker

    Gifts are Gifts and are not a replacement for cash. In Zim I put my tips in an envelope with each persons name on the envelope and then hand that to them personally. The family then handed out gifts to each person. In Moz the Lodge staff tip was handed to the owner and the PH let the staff...
