We hunted hard another 4 days trying to get an Eland, wildebeest or kudu but between the lions and wind just couldn’t make it happen.
On day 12 of my hunt we decided to drive around looking for an animal we could spot and stalk. We found a group of zebra and a beautiful male in the group. I...
We spent the rest of my trip hunting blinds for plains game. It was tough due to lions and the full moon. On more then one occasion we had to leave the blind due to lions roaring within a few hundred yards of our blind and raising all kinds of fuss near us. The Elephants also presented issues...

We made it into the blind and sat in the pitch black for about an hour before we heard a baboon. A few minutes...

Since, we saw the male leopard on the bait we decided to hunt that evening. The 1st couple of hours were very quite but we did hear a baboon making a racket indicating we had a leopard near by the bait. Nothing materialized that evening but we’re confident either the female or male were near by...
