Is anybody on AR hunting with Roger Whittall Safaris this coming season? If you are then where, when and what will you be hunting?
I will be arriving on Humani on the 1st July and hunting Plainsgame for 7 days.

eyedocI will not be there this year but have been there twice in the past. I really recommend doing a couple nights in a blind over soured corn for bushpig. Many hunters miss the night-time experience and it is a whole new ballgame once the sun sets. There is a new set of critters that come out that you seldom see in daylight. Also elephant passing by close in the dark is quite exciting as well.
Good bushbuck were found there in the past, as well as loads of impala and warthogs. Good leopard country if you have the time and inclination.
I went alone the first trip and enjoyed it so much that I went back with my son a few years later.
Look forward to your report when you get back.

I have Bushpig on my list so i was planning on asking my PH if we could go out at night and hunt them. I have also hunted Humani a couple of times and i worked for Roger Whittall for 6 months back in 2005 filming hunts for him in Chewore South and on Humani.
I cant wait to get back there. I am taking my girlfriend this time, her first time to Africa.

Best wishes for a great hunt! Looking forward to hearing the report.
