Botswana
Tracking hunt with San trackers

Zimbabwe Matetsi Unit 2 or Kazuma Forrest for Non trophy elephant - Side trip to the falls. Easy

Add a Cape buffalo and you’ve got yourself one heck of safari. Plenty of both to look over.

Thank you so much for your recommendation, Phil. We truly appreciate this. @cpr0312 kindly let us know if you need any further information. We would love to discuss a future safari with you.

Thank you Jaco! I couldn't make the shows this year unfortunately to talk things over with multiple outfitters. Please feel free to PM me!

Botswana
Tracking hunt with San trackers

Thanks for the recommendation! But it's just not in the cards for me to hunt ele in Bots.

Considering your diverse travels to date, I would suggest that a coastal forest hunt will present an environment, and species list, completely novel to your current hunting experiences. Almost guaranteed success on Leopard, plus determined stalking and close quarters on Dagga boys. If you like hunting stories, please read about a recent safari here:

Actually wasn’t even thinking of elephant when I mentioned hunting behind San trackers in Botswana. Elephant for them is like tracking a 10000 lb neon sign wearing a GPS collar. Those so inclined learn tracking skills early. Many starting about 2 yo on small “game” like tortoises, rodents or any small animal.

Hunting with them is about the hunt and the tracking. They have unreal tracking skills and eyesight/spotting skills that have to be witnessed to be believed. They track any game … from tiny antelope through elephant. Kalahari Botswana is outstanding for many PG like kudu, oryx, eland, hartebeest, small antelope, etc.
