Welcome and congratulations on your safari. I have posted the original size photos below. Those are some nice animals.

Alain,

Formidable! We don't see many dwarf buffalo or forest elephant on this site!

Very nice!

Alain,

Which Hartebeest is that? The Waterbuck is a Sing Sing, right? What did those horns measure?
Looks like a nice one.

Excellent! What a nice bag of critters! We now need the full story behind them all.

The Hartebeest is a "Bubal Major" I don't Know in English.
The Waterbuck is a "Cob defassa"
At soon.

Cameroon is a great safari destination. I hunted there in 2004 and am trying to scape the money together to go again. I've got the story of my hunt posted on the hunting pages.

Nice to meet You Alain

You are almost my neighbour, say 2 hours. I am most pleased a Belgian join us because You are a really cordial people. The ones who founded the FN-Browning, the Dumoulin and Lebeau Courally cannot be totally bad?
There is a very famous Belgian PH, the notorious and esteemed Willi Blomme, a strange PH who is guiding naked or wearing only a trunk, excuse me trunks, the trunk is underneath . He is now in the Atakora in Benin, isn't it?Willi website, look at the press-book

Club fauna Cameroon

The hartebeest is a Western hartebeest lelwel that is like the camaa in Zim and Botswana. An honnest trophy, the best being West (Nigeria and Burkina + Benin)

The waterbuck is the Western species, the Defassa waterbuck, the horns are about a tad under 28" what's excellent in Cameroon. The best were gotten in Uganda.

Remember the Cameroon is a great destination for lion and abondant forest elephant (thick short orange ivory). Add bongo, sitatunga, Derby eland, roan,......in a decent country far from the usual "rolling down the gutter".

MR,

I may be wrong, but I believe it is not the "forest" elephant that is found in the north of Cameroon, but rather "savannah" elephant (without the pinkish "rose ivory" that forest ele have). These northern Cameroon ele are basically the same as the ele in southern/eastern Africa, but with smaller ivory.

Erik,
You are correct about the ele.

Alain,
Great trophies! Please tell us more about the lion and buff hunt !!

Erik, you may well be correct--and are more likely to be correct on this subject than I am in any case! I had thought there were forest, and even "pygmy," elephant in Cameroon.

Alain's elephant looks to be very small, though. Perhaps he can shed some light on this question.

Nice critters Alain. Looks like you had a great safari.

MR,

There are forest ele in Cameroon, but they are in the more tropical southern and eastern part where the rainforest is as far as I know.
