Where and when is the "Best" of Africa as far as trophy quality? For example: The Big Five (jumbo, lion, leopard, buffalo, don't worry about rhino) Mountain Nyala Sitatunga Bongo Lord Derby Eland Kudu Waterbuck etc. and anything else you think of.... I am looking for input from booking agents, PHs, and those who have "been there and done that". Thanks. | ||

I'm a been there. You're list is extensive. On par with asking where in Canada would be the best place to shoot a caribou, desert mule deer, alligator and Roosevelt elk. Place doesn't exist. My recommendation would be to find a good outfitter in RSA or Namibia and take the animals they offer there. Then schedule other trips to other countries to sample the animals that live there.

I'll play but with the caveat that these are my picks from my expereince. Nobody knows THE best place to hunt all those animals and as soon as I say xyz is best somebody will say "but a shot a monster wildezebra in this place so it must be best". Anyway these are my picks based on trophy quality and success rates. Lion: Masailand Tanzania, Kafue area Zambia and Save Valley Conservancy in Zim Leopard: Luangwa Valley Zambia Buffalo: Masailand Tanzania Elephant: Several areas in Botswana, Hwange and Gonarhezou Park areas in Zim, Masailand Tanzania Mt. Nyala: I have no personal expereince with this fabulous trophy Rhino: Mkuze Game Reserve RSA Sitatunga: Tondwa area in Zambia Bongo: SE Cameoon LD Eland: Cameroon savanah Faro River. Area 39-41 in CAR Kudu: Strangely ranches in Botswana nera Ghanzi Waterbuck: Without question the Zambezi Delta in Mozambique. That's enough for me. Mark MARK H.

I thought Kai Uwe-Denker's area of Namibia consistently produced the top trophies. Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | |||

Jason, I'm sure your right but remember my post said I was drawing from my own expereince. Personally I have no expereince with Namibian elephant or booking elephant in Namibia. Mark MARK H.
