Just finished a hunt in Makuti.I should get a report up in a few days.

I did a ten day hunt with R.Tabor.We took two old dagas.One with polished and broken tipped horns.
We also took a zebra from really close up and a big tuskless cow. All with open sights.It was nice to return to Makuti.On the first night while I was in bed and about to go to sleep,I heard a male lion call out loud about fifty meters away.

At such a short distance I'm surprised it didn't dislodge you from the bed altogether.

It was no further than a hundred yds.It did send the cook and waiter running to their tents.I could feel the rumbling of his lungs.He did not return after that.

Nice photo George. Makuti is one very beautiful place isn't it. I've got a similar photo of Secrete Valley. It's a special place for sure.

It sure is.As soon as I saw this valley I had a vision of being married in the centre of it.I joked and told this to Doug the cameraman.He said that he was sure Richard could arrange things if I wanted to-lol.The whole Makuti area had really dried up by the time of our hunt.Nearly all the springs in the mountains had no water- even springs in Gota Gota that Richard said always kept water.
