Mike/Maswa would definitely be the exception! Also some good ones over by Taringare. The old hotspots in the Selous and western TZ were poached out ending in say 2014. I hear elephant numbers are now climbing in those areas, but good huntable numbers probably still 10 years away. Again the notable exception is in the tourist areas of the north where, by and large, missed by the recent poaching.

Along with the two areas mentioned, I heard that Luafi still has some real nice bulls in the Game Reserve with more that come in and out of Katavi.
No. Shooting from a blind is like shooting from a bench. I'd rather have a truck run over my shoulder. I will most likely use the .458 B&M with CEB raptors. I might use the double for bait though, buffalo, hippo etc..

For Lion, I'd bet the 258 Socom bullets would work well in the 458 B&M. But the 420 Raptors would probably work just as well, and would be good for buffalo and Hippo too. I'd love to hunt a wild lion.
I have heard that as well and they took a nice one 2 years ago in Lake Rukwa which also has a significant border with Katavi NP. Last year the problem was too much rain and the elephant stayed in the park.
Ruaha NP is also said to hold some big bulls as well.

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!
