AtkinsonI hunted just South of Doma about at Chinhoyi a few years ago and it was fantastic, lots of big Kudu and Sable..I made a film and it showed a 100 plus Sable bulls in a field one morning..We shot a 69", 67", several in the 62 to 64 inch class Kudu and quite a few 58 to 60 bulls...Sable averaged 40 inches and we shot 3 44 plus and two at 46 plus....
All that has changed today and the game is all but gone to the damn bush market, AK47s and snares have about decimated it I am told by folks that live there...
Doma is close enough to bother me, but I don't know about doma...Chinhoyi was very close to town...

GanyanaDoma safari Area was taken over by a politician who has found he cannot run it and sub leased to ( Dang can picture the fellow and sold him a .404 but the me escapes me)
Most of the conservancy has been taken over. Doma safari lodge (owned by steve Corbitt is still running - Gordon Duncun is the PH) and 6 farms of the rest of the conservancy.
Couple of dodgy operators trying to sell illegal hunts on occupied farms for the rest of it. Be VERY careful if booking there. I will be back in town next week and can look up the number of the conservator - Jan Stander. (Ben Koetzee is a legitimate PH in that area but there may be others
