some of you have never heard of the hunting area called "la Falémé" in southern Senegal? I'm talking with an outfitter that offers a sort of self guided big game hunt (Buffalo, Roan and more) there. Until now I had only heard of Senegal for birds shooting and warthogs

Hmmm... sounds interesting.. keep us informed!!

The area is called ZIC Falémé (Zone d'Intérêts Cynégétique de la Falémé) and is close to Niokola Koba National Park. The area is very big (close to 2million hectars) and there are several camps inside. I have not hunted there but talked with people who did. Game numbers are low due to heavy poaching but there is some Buffalo, Roan, western Hartebeest, Bushbuck etc.

You plan to go there sometime soon, Mario?
If so PM me and we talk about it.

Cheers

Dennis

This sounds like an adventure !!! I would be interested myself ... things are getting a bit too tame up here in the Great White North !

A bit OT:
Dennis, where you at in Germany?
I was stationed at Dexheim, 2mi west of Neirstein/Oppenheim. Lots of Raebuc around the river bottoms. Loaned a fellow my Sako .222mag rifle to shoot a couple. Nearly couldn't get it back.
Wish you well,
George
