Ahmed SultanSince this was my first post here, I guess some of the pictures and hunt summary got lost in posting and didn’t come up. However, these are photos from last two African hunts which I enjoyed with my father. We hunted in Luawata GMA in Zambia in September 2006 and Omay South, Zimbabwe and South Africa in May 2007.

Ahmed SultanThank you all for the nice comments.
We have one Winchester Model 70 in .375 H&H mag top up with Zeiss 1-4 X 24 scope with illuminated red dot and the other rifle is a Steyr Mannlicher 7mm Mag top up with Ziess 5-15 X 42 Scope.
We used hand loaded Swift A frame 300 grain bullet for .375 and 160 Grain Winchester Fail Safe Bullets for 7mm Mag.
Both with very good results.
Adam, to reply to you query: my father in the buffalo pic is holding a .375 H&H Mag, borrowed from Graham Hingeston (owner of HHK Safaris), while his PH, Derek Gomaz is using his 450 No.2 Jeffery.
I am again posting the pictures that didn’t came up the first time, hope it gets through this time.

]One the second day of hunt we saw a group of four female Lions with two cubs on one of our Hippo bait, later on the hunt we found both the cubs dead, killed by the male lion who probably took over the pride. It was a sad moment to see those healthy cubs dead.

yukon deltaThanks for the update and additional photos. It sounds like you had a great trip. Interesting to see the photo of the lion cub and the lack of external damage.

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......
