I love how you show us your appreciation of all of creation through your pics and videos! Makes your hunt reports so rich and enjoyable! Thank you, Saeed!

True trophy animals, Saeed, and beautiful images.

Except for all of the unshaven fat guys - I get enough of those images when I look in the mirror every morning!

Makes me miss the Selous. No better hunting grounds exist on earth.

Thanks!

Roy and me shot a kongoni each.

Had a rain storm and got soaked to the skin.

Withe reference to photo 12 from last:

Notice how a few rain-showers are able to transform a charred piece of ground overnight.

Great as always Saeed!

What is the elephant situation?

We had a strong rain storm last night.

Roy shot a buffalo this morning in a very thick forest.

Took us over 8 hours to recover it.

We are the only ones back in camp so far, relatively early by 4:30

Watch out, some serious stuff is coming your way in the next 3-5 days.

We had a 24-hour shower just now, after a month of drought here.

Outstanding photography ! Richer than ever in so many ways !

I cannot help but wonder if Walter has been leaving his chocolate fudge candy in the camp seats:



Dean is a good sport, can take some abuse from Walter and laugh about it:



His Heym 470 NE is a good sport too, well used, not abused:

I wonder if there was a video camera in the lion blind, and later at the kill?
I doubt the Walterhog that did the lion in was recovered, must have zipped right through.
I wonder about the necropsy of the lion ...
Saeed will have plenty to tell if he ever gets time.
Capstick could have made a pretty good tale out of that lion incident, from his stool at Harry's.

Rip ...

Can you imagine being assigned to PH for Walter!? Poor Dean! He's certainly able to roll with the punches/punchlines!

Were the cartridges found the same source and vintage as those from last year? Everything outstanding!

.

Superb photos !

Lots of the photos are taken by others.

Dwight shot a buffalo yesterday and Roy shot an impala.

Walter starts hunting today, so please keep your fingers crossed.

Poor Pete.

He has to find Walterable animals for him.

Lots of good photos, looks like everyone is having a really good time. The buff photos are great but my favorites so far are the trackers wearing the “AR” caps. Keep posting, please.

I just love that last buffalo. Deep hooks AND wide.

Magnificent.

Excellent photos

That last photo is a great one. You should make prints and frame them. Just think of the experiences the three of you have shared over the last 37 years.

That picture of you between Roy and Alan is awesome. Your smile captures your feelings for these two fine PH’s.

What's on Walter's forehead?

beautiful. thanks so much for the pictures.

What does hakuna matata mean?
Hakuna matata roughly translates to "there are no troubles" in Swahili. The phrase was popularized in English by the 1994 Disney movie The Lion King, where it’s translated as "no worries." It has a connotation of not worrying about things outside a person's control.

Like Walter's behavior.

I am amazed and envious of all the wild animals you see on safari.You probably saw more game in one day than I see on a 10 or 14 day safari in the Zambezi valley.

Brilliant photos as ever!

Saeed- Is the rain you have experienced this season unusual? Fabulous.....

Nothing fabulous about rain here.

We went out in the morning and got soaked.

Back in camp for the rest of the day.

Good to see a small breeding herd of elephants with a few calves.

It is hard to believe the Selous once had more elephants as there are buffalo now.
