Tim CarneyZambia - Vidale Safaris
Grateful to learn of any experiences with this company. I plan to be in Zambia in early September and seek a short hunt following on hunts in Namibia and South Africa.
Regards,

Tim CarneyThank you both.
Not likely to be buffalo, but I'll ask if that's possible on a short hunt.
Regards,
Tim

GOBFico Vidale is 100% honest and trustworthy as are all of the PH's who work with him.
Have been with Vidale twice, each time it gets better.
Fico will be at booths number 1568 and 1570 at the SCI convention in Vegas.
his web site is
www.vidalesafaris.net if you are interested.
What is it that you plan on taking with Fico and when are you going?
Cheers,
Glenn
The buffalo on this page was taken with Vidale.

Tim CarneyI'll be there end of August/early September, Glenn. Not sure what I'm after but maybe puku, grysbok, tssebe.
Have emailed Vidale but expect they are busy with the SCI event.

Tim,
How long will you be there? His Mwanya concession is a very good hunting block, especially for buffalo. If you're there on a 7 day license you can shoot a buff and 6 plainsgame. I did a 2x1 hunt there in 2009 and we shot 2 buffalo and 10 separate plainsgame species in 7 days.
Lots of villages in the area, but they don't bother the hunting at all.

Hi Tim,
You will only get tsessebe in Bangweulu swamps which is another expensive charter.
