Has Anyone Here Ever Hunted Lake Cahora Bassa?

[Obi Wan Kenobi]

I'm headed there this August during the croc rut. Should be interesting. I've been told its a no joke lake. 14 foot crocs are common and you will have a respectable chance at a 16 footer during the rut.

.375 H&H 300 Swift AFrames will be the medicine. Glassing with a pair of Swaro 15x56s. Any advice or stories would be great.

Thanks.

Cabora is a great place for a croc hunt. Be warned though, there might not be much else to hunt (depending on your concession obviously) and you will see plenty of fishermen. Who are you hunting through? 14-15ft is attainable.16ft are not common and if you get one consider yourself very very lucky indeed. Any 'flattie' over 13ft is a trophy.
Your calibre and bullet selection are good. I would go so far as to say take a bog pod 'deathgrip' with you and study the heck out of shot placement. It's a shot that requires precision!

I will be on the SW side of the lake for 3 weeks in August. Hoping for a monster croc myself.
