I have. If my aging memory serves me correctly, I hunted there in 2009 and 2010.

I took a number of excellent animals including a 46 1/2 inch buff.

I tried for leopard there in 2009. I failed. There are plenty of leopards there. One of the issues was that it was so HOT. Baits did not last long. 3 days max.

Would I go again? Absolutely. I do not think that I would try it again on October. In 2009, it was brutally hot.

ARDA I think its small area ? It get hot later, so July/Aug would be my option

Just looking at the reports so would ZH other area Sango be a cat heaven! But that area is another price and probably fully booked.

Was there almost exactly 2 years ago. We had a leopard coughing every night just down the river from our camp. Never saw one but was not hunting them either.
Like has was mentioned, some exceptional buffalo in there. I shot a real nice deep drop old 40" bull the second day and over the course of a 10 day hunt saw 6 larger. 3 WAY larger. Mature bulls! Saw 2 old bulls with there horns broken off. I know some consider them great trophies.

Looks like I made right decision. Leave Aug 26th. Delta wanted 10 grand for BC so I will be in the back. Leopard and Buff on the plate Smiler
