Latest Newsletter - June 12
In 2009 I will be traveling around Zambia in my beat up cruiser, some of it for hunting with clients and some of it for pure indulgence, with fishing rod in hand, a kind of road trip through my past hunting haunts looking for the things that were and the status right now. At the encouragement of many of you, my faithful newsies, I have decided to document this trip and will hopefully come out at the end, unscathed, black Mamba free and enlightened as to the best of Zambia's hunting - not just the typical classic or mini safari BS that you see allover the place, I know this country holds undiscovered gems where, if your attitude is right, you will experience a whole different Africa. It's just that I need your HELP!

ZAMBIA - 2009 African safari adventures
Zambia offers hunting in the classical sense, vast open wilderness concessions where Africa's large beasts wander freely, pretty much as they did a 100 years ago in relative solitude. Of all Africa's hunting countries, Zambia must stand amongst the top 3 as the destination of choice for those seeking the true African hunting experience. No matter if you're after the larger beasts or simply seeking the solitude of an African wilderness hunt, Zambia is where you'll find the safari of your dreams.
Zambia offers LION, LEOPARD, CAPE BUFFALO, SABLE, SITATUNGA, ROAN, LECHWE'S plus many of Africa's other common plains antelope. READ MORE...
In addition, Zambia has some magnificent private UNFENCED hunting properties which have excellent trophy quality and species not found in South Africa or Namibia - we have the best available trophies in the country: Sable, Sitatunga, Roan, Livingstone's Eland, Puku, Chobe Bushbuck, Sharpe's Grysbok, Kafue Lechwe, Black Lechwe, Defassa Waterbuck plus all the other prime animals like very big Kudu (55" plus), Warthog etc. - READ MORE here...

SOUTH AFRICA - 2009 safari hunts and adventures
South Africa provides some of Africa's best hunting BUT don't expect to forage into the vast untrammeled wilderness fighting off marauding Lion and fierce warlike savages, much like Selous or Burton did, you'll will be disappointed.
Our safaris and hunts throughout South Africa are quality orientated rather than the more bang for your buck type of package deal which is so common to this country. Sure you can get a cheaper 'shoot' elsewhere but you'll have to look far and wide to find the consistent quality, care, experience and reliability that come with our safari hunts.
All Ranches, Outfitters and PH's that you hunt with are personal friends who I have known for many years and place my trust in them to uphold the reputation that I have built over the last 2 decades. READ MORE...

BOTSWANA - 2009 Elephant hunts
Hunting in Botswana is mostly about Africa's mega beast, the African Elephant. Estimated to have over 50,000 elephants too many, Botswana offers the most realistic chance at heavy tuskers in the 60 pound class and above. Divided into government concessions and community conservation areas, the country offers by far the most choice for an elephant safari in Africa.
Botswana also offers great hunting for other species in Africa's last eden, the Okavango delta, however prices are rather more expensive for common species than the neighboring states.
Also of interest is Botswana's Kalahari desert, a unique experience of dense thorn scrub and towering ochre red dunes where Gemsbok, Springbok and many other hardy species make their home. READ MORE... |
