Just got back from a 12 day elephant hunt in Zimbabwe with Jimba Safaris. I hunted the Amandondula concession and it was a great hunt.
I took a big elephant with tusks over 65 Lbs per side (my PH told me close to 70 Lbs) but I'll know for sure by next week, pictures will follow soon.
The accommodations and the attention to details was great I highly recommend this location because it's T.R.A (the real Africa) lots of game and beautiful landscape very similar to what we're used to seeing on the discovery channel. I also took a nice Zebra and a Duiker and my daughter took a nice Impala.
 
sounds great glad you had a ripper trip looking forward to the photos..
 
Congrats to you both can't wait to hear the full story and see the pics.
 
Congrats sounds like a hell of a bull!
 
Congrats,
Cant wait to see the pics.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
