Great hunting report! Too bad about Mr. Spots! I loved the eland it was grand trophy, a real beauty. You got to see new country and get a lot of hunting in before you had to go home.

Thank you sir! I am very pleased with the whole experience, and yes super happy about the eland!

Thanks for the report Charles. Sorry you didn't get your leopard, but it sounds like you had a great adventure and got some great animals!

I really appreciate you taking the time to tell us the story!

Thanks Jason! I did have a great time and hunt!

Charles, I really enjoyed your report. As your hunt report demonstrates, Zim is a wonderful place to go on safari.

What a great story!!! My son (12) and I are heading out today for Zim. And yes, I did not get my leopard last year so here we go again Took advise from AH folks and my son and I are going to keep a journal and hope to have a good story to tell. Especially with all of the BIG 5 at the camp we are going to.

Cheers

Exactly what I did, made it easier to recount the days instead of trying to remember

BTW, did you get the "Big 5" wood carving while you were in the Vic Falls area?

Sure did! Now I wish I had bought 2 or 3 of different sizes

I keep coming across pics that I left out of some of the posts, so here is a random assortment of pics....

Monster Cricket.. Lin called it a corn cricket, this thing would have filled up my hand if I attempted to pick it up

Hippo tracks on the bank where we had a crack at the hippos

FANTA

One of the many churches I saw along the way

Pretty neat and extensive map of Zim/Zam at a service station... sorry for the shadow in the pic
