ZIMBABWE: Pain & Perseverance In The Omay

That smell is unique to the Zambezi system, I know it well and have not found it anywhere else.
I know it well but this time it just really hit me! Fav place
 
Congrats Philip.

Any elephant or buffalo reports from Omay?
Buff and elephant are plentiful. All game numbers there are increasing. Good Buffalo are being regularly taken and if I had 2 full days I bet York would have got me on one. I just ran out of time. Everyone in my group got good buffalo.
 
@Philip Glass - Good shot!

I was wondering if York was going to wear his leopard recovery coveralls that I’ve seen in previous episodes of TIA with D&Y…. I’m sure he appreciated not having to don that safety gear!

Can’t wait to be in the Omay with D&Y July 2024

Dalton told me he has a bull on his hit list for me, but there are plenty in the area too.

DRT is always best with those cats! Thankfully he didn't move. Yes I am already thinking and planning for next year!
 
Zimbabwe has great PH's! In fact if you rolled the dice for me to decide who I hunted with it would be awesome no matter who I was hunting with.
Pictured here are Gareth Brown, Chap Esterhuizen, myself, York Mare, & Dalton Tink. They all have a great way with clients and love the hunt. They Dalton & York Safaris team are doing very well and gaining new hunting areas.

Eddie's tree. This is where I shot my lion in 2016. It was good to reminisce.

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris
