Lion is closed, Okavango elephants is closing..I would look into Tanzania for the big four if money isnt a problem or else you have Zim..I think Larry Shores that post here is going to The Savé with Zambezi Hunters next month for the big four, i think he will have a good chance taking them all... Safari Trackers had a client in Tanz last year that took ele, lion, buff, leopard in the first three days of his safari ! Ive used them both, good guys... I dont know where you live but Zambia or Mozambique could be a good option, but you cant import ivory from Zambia or Moz if you live in USA if i remember correct. www.safaritrackers.com www.zambezihunters.com | |||

I was under the impression that Botswana has 150000 elephant. Am I mistaken? Live your dreams Joe | |||

I believe that Botswana's quota for elephant is 300 per year with about 225-250 actually taken, if I remember correctly. Dutch. | |||

I got an elephant in july with Johan Calitz. This was the second time I hunted there and it is good. Lion was closed . | |||

I was in Bostwana in May but I was just hunting plains game. The outfitter I used was great and they do hunt dangerous game in Bostwana as well. You can book them with Wendell Reich http://www.huntersquest.com/BotswanaOkavango.html I'm not sure what the status of the closings in the Delta are at this point. I will say the Leapard hunting is very succesfull but it is with shotguns and dogs which is not my cup of tea and it is incredibly expensive, like 35-40K alone! I'd probably look to Tanzania or maybe Zambia. | |||

Thanks, Dutch.I checked out the links you posted, A.Dahlgren. SafariTrackers looks good. Thanks. I've never been to Africa and I'm real glad to have stumbled onto this site. I hope to go in 2010 and any input is greatly appreciated. Live your dreams Joe | |||

Leopard licences are also becoming hard to come by in Bots as well. You might also find it useful to visit our site at www.shakariconnection.com as part of your research. | |||

Thanks Geoff, I believe I will look at Tanzania. I'll also check out Wendell's site and see what I can learn. Live your dreams Joe | |||

Although I book for two Outfitters in Botswana, your going to have to look elsewhere to find all that you seek. I have a number of top Outfitters in Zim. One has continued to be 100% on Leopard again this year. Buff, Elephant, Hippo, Croc and Lion are available. Rhino are available in Namibia or RSA but expensive. However, a green hunt is considerably less. We just did one in June. Check my report in the hunting forum; Natal and Limpopo. Tanzania is another option. We offer different blocks including the Selous.

Thanks David, it looks like Tanzania will be a good fit for me. I'm not interested in rhino, but the ele, buff, lion and leopard are something I've always dreamed about. Time to make it a reality! Joe Live your dreams Joe | |||
