What is the nearest location to Malapati that could offer a quality sable hunt; and, who is the contact person?

I'd like to have a contingency plan should I take my elephant early and have the fees to afford a sable. I'll be in Malapati the last of Oct / first of Nov 2009.

Maybe one of all the operators in the Savé. But i think Sable is sold out quick there.

Mozambique is not that far away.

Hate to ask, but have you consulted/asked your ele outfitter with this question?

Try Ron Oliver. Cawston Ranch used to have the largest sable herd in Zim. I seem to remember someone hunting there in 2008.

Not close; however, Gordon Duncan at Doma Safaris seems to have a good shootable herd around the Doma Area; also, might try Glenn @ Shaangan Hunters, located in the Save Conservancy

Sable is usually booked up early with limited quotas in each area and normally requires a minimum number of hunting days... Maybe best to reach out to some of the outfitters who post on the site... Good Luck

I hunted Sable in Kwe Kwe with Charlton/mcCallum 2 years ago and saw a lot of Sable in 10 days probably 100. The brush was too thick at the time and I never saw anything worht shooting. BUT the animals were there.
