Reach out to Lindon Stanton w/Mbalabala Safaris. I took (on my 1st leopard hunt) a great 7ft. 11in. 170 lb. cat with him. He’s a great guy and PH, super productive areas, honest and well respected by his peers. Personally, I’m looking to safari #5 with him next year. You won’t be disappointed...

I've hunted multiple times with Lindon, from plains game to elephant, and multiple other DG animals. He is professional, ethical, trustworthy, and a pleasure to hunt with. You will not be disappointed hunting with him. I look forward to visiting with him while he's in Dallas for another...

Realizing this is an older thread, but Nhoro is very knowledgeable in this topic. What do you feel is a realistic potential in the Matetsi units, and is the early season as productive as late season prior to the rains?

It has been committed for, but thanks for your interest.

Poor form? Maybe you should read the entire thread, I was replying to a post to be helpful for to someone who was looking for a specific item. Get a life and Merry Christmas Scrooge!

I still have a copy available at what I paid for it-$350 + shipping.

How large is the concession, what is the trophy fee on hippo, and are both animals exportable to the U.S.? If it’s a father/son 2x1 hunt, what is the additional daily rate?

Does the rifle have ejectors or extractors, and do you know what ammo it was, or still, is regulated with?

Still available, $2550.00 delivered.

I have a copy of Into the Thorns if anyone is still looking for one. I’ll sell it for what I paid for it, $350 + shipping.

It’s my understanding that 19 hunting concessions in Zambia have been closed for quite some time due to governmental permitting issues. My assumption is that the closure is not affecting private farms and game reserves. I’m wanting to put together a DG hunt for 2024, so any information relative...

Is there any update on the Zambia hunting concession closure? It’s my understanding that there are 19 concessions that are currently closed and in limbo.

How was the weather in Matetsi in December? I was considering an elephant hunt in that area but concerned that by December the rains may push the big bulls back to Botswana.

Thank you all for the replies!

I’m searching for contact information for Bangwelu Taxidermy (Mike Borman) in Lusaka. I used them several years ago but it seem their email address is no longer current. Any information regarding their email address or telephone number would be appreciated.

Interested in a father/son 2x1 hunt for 2024. Another friend is also considering coming along and doing a hunt with us 1x1. I’ve dropped you an email regarding it. Thanks!

Tanks, I’m researching the Kazuma Forestry area also. What outfitter/s are currently hunting there? Thanks!

I’ve been to Africa several times, and one of those trips was to Andrew Baldry’s Royal Kafue. He is a great PH, honest, hard working, trustworthy, and a pleasure to spend time with. I’ve hunted other countries before and since then, but would not hesitate to hunt any area of Africa with Andrew...

Have you recently had any success getting ivory from this specific area imported into the U.S? Assuming your calendar was wide open, what would you consider the best months for a big bull? What is your average tusk weight taken in this area? Is this Matetsi 5? Thanks

After taking the Cape buffalo, if I hadn’t pulled the trigger on an unplanned elephant, with more trophy fees I definitely wouldn’t be selling the Leica’s. As mentioned above, they are amazing optics.

That’s a smoking deal, Lindon! I hope someone can jump on it before I’m enticed to. Looking forward to seeing you in a few days…

Thanks for your reply, and we all appreciate your feedback once you’re on the ground in Harare. This entire Covid issue is a total cluster and everyone is longing to get back to a sense of “normalcy“ once this thing runs it’s course.

I discovered yesterday that Zimbabwe enacted, effective August 7, new Covid-19 policies. One is that they are incorporating the African Union (AU), Trusted Travel Initiative that requires uploading test results onto their mobile platform. In addition, due to the new Covid variants, they are...

I hunted the same area with Lin for leopard a few years ago and took a toad (7’ 11”, 170 lb.). It’s an amazing area with the genetics for huge leopard. He goes above and beyond to ensure the best opportunity to make the hunt successful.

Wayne, where is the area and what’s the average ivory size expectations? Are there any other species available after/if the elephant is taken? If an observer comes along, any opportunity for them to take any plains game after an elephant is down?

Another recommendation for Lindon from me. I got a nice cat a few years ago (7’11” & 170lbs.).The west Nicholson area has great genetics and Lindon definitely knows how to hunt leopard!!

Thanks for the compliments on the mount. I had a vision of what I wanted, and went with Phil Soucy, who I think is one of the best, if not the best, cat men in the country. A local cabinet maker built the base so it could be multi-faceted to raise the leopard to an optimum height and also...

How many actual hunting days are there, specifically where are the accommodations, and when are you anticipating the hunting trip to take place?

Yes Andrew, what are your thoughts?

It seems that the website is no longer available for SSG Safaris. Is anyone aware of contact information for them?
