Hello, I just found this site yesterday; I am packing up and heading home after almost 2 months of hunting in Zim and Zambia.
This trip had a few disappointments, but was overall both exciting and rewarding.
In Zim I got a baboon, kudu, waterbuck, a few impala, zebra, and a nice old bull elephant.
In Zambia I got another baboon, bushbuck, 2 crocs, hartebeest, 2 hippos, hyena, impala, kudu, lion, sable, 2 warthogs, and a waterbuck.
There were some very intense moments. The elephant was close up in thick brush and trees, the lion was laying in the grass 40 yds away from the bait when we went to build the blind - that led to a 25 minute stare down waiting for him to stand up, and one of the hippos was point blank as he came straight up out of the water to climb onshore.
Looking forward to the next one.
