It sure is. Awesome guy and amazing hunter. I don’t think there was a plant, animal, insect or bird that I asked about that he couldn’t identify and have info on.

Congrats, you are a very lucky young man. What a hunt!

Unbelievable first African hunt. Going from birds to a full bag Tanzania hunt is an impressive transition. Congratulations.

What a phenomenal Safari! CONGRATS to you, your PH and the team on a job well done

Congrats on an unbelievable safari. It doesn't matter whether it was your first, last or anything in between - it will be the one by which all others are judged! I'm guessing you already have plans for an encore, as the addictive nature of Africa does not bode well for a "one and done". BTW, that Topi is a toad and also great to see Blake sporting the DSC colors! Well done sir!

Wow what a trip! Nice to do it with friends, you managed to combine into one trip what most of us would do in four or more!

I saw one elephant in Moyowosi but lots of elephant tracks. Also saw one in Natron. Natron was much easier hunting than Moyowosi with higher game density. Lots and lots of zebra, wildebeest and grants gazelle. Not much challenge on those 3. Not many thomson gazelle on this concession but if we had more time i probably would have got one. Good numbers of gerenuk and lesser kudu. All 4 of us took a lesser kudu and gerenuk in 4 days. 3 of us got oryx and 3 got nice impala. Lots and lots of dik dik. I thought the scenery in Natron was beautiful and it was interesting to see the Masai people. However, it appeared to me that the Masai are overgrazing the area. You wonder what the heck everything is eating because there is not much grass. It is also extremely hot there in October.

Unbelievable safari, congratulations on a hell of a trip!

Congratulations. Amazing hunting. Taking two lions the same day but not at same time it´s unbeliavable.
Like you, my first Africa experience took place in Tanzania 2008 (Selous), and I was almost as lucky as you. But to be lucky, you must be willing to travel these remotes places far from any place, to take small planes to get to the camp, to deal with tse tse flies, to face dangerous game animals, etc, so not so many people are able to do it.
Once again, congratulations for that incredible experience.
