Hi Nathan
Yes Steve has notified me . We are hunting in Marula district / Mangwe which is in Matabeleland South approximately 2 Hours drive from Bulawayo airport . There are no Hippo or Croc in this area . I have sold all my Leopard tags in this area as you can imagine especially this year Leopard are in demand . Certainly you can hunt the plains game that is available here. Please note that this year Zimbabwe has experienced very good rains in fact exceptional rainfall so the bush is going to be very thick and wet . If you want to charge a camera or a iPad or similar please bring adapters / converters that plug into a standard cigarette lighter that is in my hunting truck , this particular camp has no electricity , the lights work off a solar system and my deep freezers are on gas . Ask Jay Porter he hunted out of the same camp .
All the best
Wayne
I truly can not wait- Steve and I are both so excited!!! And gotcha- yes I was expecting as much regarding the leopard but hopefully will get a few plains game (such as eland, bushbuck, baboon and possibly another zebra or maybe hyena) bagged anyway. I heard the rains have been fantastic this year- so I'll be bringing along my rain gear and snake gaiters as well (hopefully those will be at a minimum- yikes haha). Spoke with Steve (he's at SCI convention in Vegas now)- we'll be bringing 2 video cameras to tape the hunts as well as plenty of battery packs for charging. I'll stop and get a portable car charger made for the cigarette lighter that has a few outlets to bring along.
