Dear all,
A friend of mine finalizing a hunt with Muchinga Safari (Johny Duplooye) in August 2016 at subjected location, willing to know the experiences by members of quality trophies, camping facilties and game management there, the following are targeted species as under:
1. Sitatunga
2. Roan
3. Sable
4. Blue Duiker
5. Puku and other opprtunity in plain games.

I have hunted with Johny in Niyaminga, he is well repute and serious PH, but Tondwa is a new area for us to understand quality species.

Please share yours experiences of hunt in this area and ground management.

I would be much appreciated for feed backs from members, please.

Regards.
IH

Read crbutler report on the African hunting report section. Sounds like the area had been depleted but is slowly beginning to recover. Sitatunga and puku should be no problem, blue duiker probably with roan and sable iffy. There was a very good sable seen on his safari however.

IH, I have neither hunted with the PH , nor do I know anything about Tondwa concession!

Having said that, not knowing what type of land features are in Tondwa the trophy list could be a little hard to come by in a couple of cases!

Sitatunga happens to be a marsh species and may not be available unless there is marsh available there. Most of the other species might be available there without the marsh. One species that your friend should not pass on is Cookson’s wildebeest, and Puku as both are only available in abundance in Zambia.

Tell your friend I and other AR members wish him good luck, and to make a hunting report here when he gets home!

IH,

I've had quite a few clients in Tondwa. The sitatunga is very good there and they are amazingly 100% on these unique aquatic antelope. Lichenstein's hartebeest and puku are common there. I assume your friend booked 14 days and in that time I would expect him to take everything.

Safari2,

Most people book the 10 days for the sitatunga and once they have the sitatunga they charter out. All hunting takes some luck but good roan sable and Livingstone's eland are there.

Dear Mark!,
Thanks for info, it is important info to assess the quality trophy and game management.

Yes it is for 14 days hunt.

I would also like to know, if you are aware of it, which other part of African continent has more better quality of Sitatunga then Tondwa?

Kind regards.
IH

Mark
