I leave October 14th for a late season clean up hunt with Alan Shearing of CM Safaris in Makuti and maybe Dande. It is booked as a 12 day buffalo hunt, but I can take other DG animals left on quota if there are any. It is a little bit cheaper (not much) and it will be hot and there are no guarantees, but what the hell, I am not getting any younger. STAY IN THE FIGHT! | |||
