ZIMBABWE: Zimbabwe Elephant + Leopard

Congratulations!!! Looks like the hunt gods have smiled on your group.
 
A two elephant day is pretty special and shared by brothers! That's a successful hunt if it ends right there. Curious to see if you get some luck on old Spots...hopefully buff also.
 
2 good bull elephants in one day is very special. Lots of good memories there. Keep the report coming.

Very nice. Congratulations! What a moment to share with your brother.
 
Safari comes to an end. Great safari with plenty of PG, some ivory and unfortunately no leopards. Still nothing to complain about.
Many memories in the backpack and a mix feeling of happiness for returning to see my family and the sadness of knowing that it will be at least several months until I return.
We explored some new territories and found great pockets. Sure enough we had a couple of days that we had problems, but after all this is what a traditional safari is all about.
We tried HARD for the leopard, but I guess it wasn't meant to happen.

Great hunt and effort with some very good outcomes...what a memory. Many of us can empathize on the cat...they seem to either come very easy or they are hard earned...mostly hard earned!
 
I'd say you came out ahead and then some. congrats on a great safari! the leopard just gives you an excuse to go back.
 
Excellent safari! Even without the leopard, you did great!
 
Congrats on a great hunt. Which area did you hunt and who was the outfitter?

This was Matetsi ECA and we also hunted Matetsi-Unit5 for buffalo. The operator was/is Elephant Trails Safaris. The PH/partner is Shingi, great person. The other partner is in the US, Marco, I never got to meet in person.

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
