Cameroon for forest elephant and buffalo
Nyae Nyae in Namibia for trophy elephant. I hunted there last year for a non-trophy bull and saw what is in that concession.

I would just like to go back to the Limpopo and hunt Greater Kudu again and again and again

Zambia

No plans to return to Africa for a while. Have other things going on but if I had to return to a spot I previously hunted it would be Block L-7 in the Niassa Reserve in Northern Mozambique.

Cheers

What can one expect price wise when it come to Forest elephant in Cameroon?
Just an idea, give and take...

Me too.

The $40 million lotto was won by 3 lucky people last week.

If I win the next one, here what I might consider (after the basics like tithing, mortgauge, kids' trust etc.)

First I would get myself a nice double rifle & a classic bolt rifle

Then I would like to hunt the following places

Botswana for PG, Namibia for PG, buffalo, elephant & birds, South Africa for Caracal & some PG, Zimbabwe for buffalo, tuskless, hippo and leopard, Zambia for leopard, sable, roan etc with Andrew, Mozambique for buffalo & croc, Uganda for Kob & Nile buffalo, Congo, CAR & West Africa for the exotics, Burkina Faso for a tracked lion & giant eland, Ethiopia for Leopard, Lesser Kudu, & a BIG croc. Tanzania for a 30 day full bag hunt.

Then start all over again.

Is the hunting of kudu in Limpopo any different to Botswana or Namibia?

Botswana to hunt with Jason Bridger at Tholo and surrounding farms. I think hunting famrs around ghanzi for kudu would be a blast.

Zim to hunt in Save Conservancy with Save Safaris - Leon Duplessis and Mike Payne.

Elsewhere maybe Benin to hunt savanna buffalo - only DG i really want to hunt. Zambia if Andrew Baldry does another AR group hunt.

But I am done with trophy hunting - have little interest in bringing back anything.

I would like to spend a fair bit of time in Africa at the national parks and self drive around Botswana and Namibia.

I also want to spend a week or more on the cape shark diving.

The more I have hunted the less interest I have in hunting going forward. Definitely have become a hunting lightweight.

Nakihunter, I don't know if Kudu hunting is any different in Botswana or Namibia, as the Limpopo is the only place that I have hunted in Africa. I only know that it was close to idyllic as can be,

If I were to dream there are to many places to list.

In the real world im thinking a spiral horn safari in southern Zim or Moz.

Eland
Nayla

I already have a big kudu but certainly wouldn't mind another big one.

Tanzania would be my dream but I will settle for about anywhere over there.

Naki you have covered most of what I dream of. However as I am not likely to win the lotto I hope to get to Namibia I a couple of yeas for plains game, mainly Gemsbok and Kudu. Would also like to hunt Ele I the Caprivi strip.

I was obviously dreaming.

I seriousness I would love to be able to spend say $10k (door to door) and do a week of PG & birds in Botswana or Namibia.

When I visited Botswana in 2014 I was amazed at the huge areas with little population and lots of game even by the road.

The birds by the pans were just amazing. Just missed actually seeing falcons catching doves and sand grouse. I actually heard the strike & the cry of the bird above my head and saw the falcon fly away with its catch!

I would love to do the elephant bull hunt that Karl Stumpfe has listed in

the classifieds section, that would really be a dream hunt!

Another leopard hunt at Sango in the Save Valley with Thierry Labat

would be close second! Maybe a small cat safari in South Africa for

Serval & Caracal? Lastly, a great plains game safari in Botswana or Namibia,

with an emphasis on Oryx/Gemsbok. Yeah, any of these would be awesome!

Where ever I can (afford to ) get a giant forest hog

Mac get out your walking stick and some of those fine doubles and get your self a first class ticket. If you pass onto the happy hunting grounds during the safari I promise to return the guns to your next of kin. Promise.

If I could afford it I would hunt Leopard in remote lands of Zambia.

Lesser Kudu or the Giant Lord Derby would be another choice.

A couples group hunt somewhere in Zambia with Andrew & Thor to PH

Perhaps a couple non trophy Jumbo in the Zambezi Valley or a couple Buff in The Zambezi Delta.
More than likely it will be an Ausie Buffalo or another Banteng in the Remote Arhnem Land of Australia's Northern Territory.
