Zimbabwe Buffalo 2023 - Recommendations

Just saw a recent comment and very disappointed with that person.
I’m very disappointed with persons who make comments without having been present then. Why don’t you ask John? He will confirm that there were just a couple of buffalo. Not knowing the facts but denying them is extremely stupid.

Do you really want to go there? Time for you to stop with the comments, please. There are plenty of Buffalo in the Bubye. The bush was thick when you hunted. Those are facts.

Agreed, I am very sorry @Mopani had a disappointing hunt. But two facts we know; John is one of the elite PH’s in Africa, and the Bubye has a healthy population of buffalo. I can’t really comment on the rest of the statements made as I was not there.
 
Hallo Leute,
hab das selbe problem.
Im August wurden drei Jäger wegen des Embargos in München aufgehalten und angeklagt.
Ich werde diese Woche 87.10.22) mit Ethiopian Airlines von Frankfurt über Addis Abeba nach Vic Falls fliegen.
Jetzt bin ich sehr unsicher.
Denken Sie darüber nach, ob es eine Lösung wäre, von Frankfurt nach Addis Abebe zu fliegen, die Gewehre zu überprüfen und sich für Neues zu den Wasserfällen einzufinden?
Ethiopian Airlines sagt nichts über das Embargo!
Ethiopian airlines, biete an, es mit Check-off und in für neues in Addis Abeba zu tun!
Ich bin sehr nervös!

If my German does not fail me I understood your question. The best thing to do is buy separate tickets. If you have one ticket with final destination Zimbabwe you could be in big trouble. It is not up the Ethiopian to control the embargo but to customs.

That would be my advice. Why take the risks if two separate tickets would solve the problem.

If not possible or to expensive to buy separate tickets you could also decide to rent a rifle and keep yours safe at home.

Fully agree with @DieJager . Purchase separate tickets.
 
Dear all, I am planning with a friend of mine a buffalo hunt, our target country is Zimbabwe.
We are looking for a fair hunt, no fenced area, no luxury necessary.

Do you have recommendations for safari operators, who are reliable and offer an affordable safari?
Dalton&York or CMS
 
Guten Morgen Freunde.
Ich habe mich jetzt entschieden, meine Waffen nicht mitzunehmen, das Risiko ist mir zu groß!
Es gibt widersprüchliche Aussagen, aber der Embargotext ist eindeutig!
Ein Freund wird im November nach Simbabwe fliegen.
Ihm hat die Bundespolizei am Flughafen Frankfurt auf Nachfrage gesagt: "es interessiert sie nicht"
Aber das reicht mir nicht aus, da man sowas natürlich nicht schriftlich bekommt!
Ein Ändern des Tickets war nicht mehr möglich, ohne das Geld zu verlieren.
Ich hoffe, daß sich sowohl Simbabwe, als auch unsere Organisationen der Sache annehmen!?
Ich fliege heute nach Vic Falls und freue mich auf die Jagd!

Waidmannsheil euch allen!
 
Kevin,
I have known Dalton since our first hunt at Sengwa in 2017, he was camp manager there and working on his PH license. He is a very upright/honest person and we hit it off right away. In 2019 we hunted the SVC with Mokore (Doug was out PH in the SVC and Sengwa). Dalton was managing the camp there with his girlfriend Jaimie, it was like a reunion, and he took and passed his PH test that October. I have since hunted Sengwa again in 2020, with Doug being my PH for the 3rd time. I have the highest regard for Mokore Safaris and you cannot go wrong with any of their PH's or areas. I do favor the accomodations in the Save, but like to hunt Sengwa better.
Yes @Proneshooter one of the great plusses of Makore is the chance of sitting around the fire with the senior Duckworths, it is like going back to the golden age. Bertie looked after us in camp and Barry helped us appreciate some fine Scotch, I was in heaven.

Waidmannsheil ! Think you made the right decision. Safe travels!
 
One thing I can promise anyone is that if the area he was hunting had no Buffalo, John Sharp would refuse to book a Buffalo hunt.

He would most likely move out of the area completely, but he certainly would not book Buffalo hunts for an area that was lacking buffalo.
This is absolutely true!

Hello Doug,
I am Philippe from France and plan to go hunting Caprivi in 2026, Oct.
I have read on AH you had some time in Vic Falls after hunting. May I ask you with whom you have planned / organized the Chobe NP tour and the different visits. (with my GF we will have 4 days and 3 nights there)
Thank in advance, I will appreciate your response.
Merci
Philippe

Hi Walden. Good morning from England, Chris here (The Englishman!) from Croatia. Firstly it was a pleasure to meet you and Michelle - a fellow Sanderson! I have finally joined AH as I enjoy it very much. Glad you enjoyed the hunt and your write up which I read on AR was very good indeed. I am sending on WhatsApp pics from Bojan of some of the animals hunted recently. Take care and best regards. CS.
