My father hunted with Chifuti on the Zambezi River in May/June this year with PH Len Taylor. He shot a 43+" buffalo, a nice cow Hippo that acted like a bull with 1 eye, a tuskless cow and a nice Klipspringer. He couldn't have been happier with them and and everyone involved with their operation. The buffalo, elephant and Kilpspringer were takend with a CZ 416 Rigby using Barnes Triple Shocks and Banded Solids. The hippo was taken with a Steyr Mannlicher 375 H&H with Barnes Triple Shocks.

Congrats to your dad. It sounds like he had a great hunt. Did he have any problems? I'm guessing not with Chifuti.

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

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......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

Blank I wish you the best of luck next year on your hunt. He took an Iridium Satellite phone with him over there and was able to call and check in after he killed an animal or just to settle my mother down given the country's condition according to the media.

Dam nice buff for the Zambezi Valley... hell, dam nice buff anywhere! Congrats to your Pop.


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

That's a huge buff for being from the valley.

What concession did your Dad hunt? Must have been Dande North.

Congrats to him.

Will I'm not sure what concession he was hunting but the camp he was at was on the Zambezi. I will find out from him what area he hunted.
