So, where is the report? I am still waiting!

 

[Kevin Peacocke]

Kevin was it exploratory for you or did they just open up camp and area?

Exploratory for me, the camp was well established and had done several hunts. We saw a nice group of buff and lots of elephant sign.

It’s also in the Zambezi Valley and on the way to the Omay and D&Y Safaris other areas. Road transfer following arrival in Harare is about 4 hours whereas the is 8+ to the Omay.

I believe it’s around Doma but I could be wrong.

Maninga is a smallish concession (40 000 hectares or so) down at the southern tip of the Dande. You access it from the main Harare-Kariba road and turn north at Lions Den, travel through Mhangura and it is about 60km north of there. It is on the top of the Zambezi escarpment, so not truly lowveld, and quite hilly. There are elephant and buffalo up there, but to me this looks more like kudu country.

This is where my 2025 Elephant/Buffalo hunt will take place. I was told there are plenty of Elephant there. Time will tell I suppose.
