great pictures.

plus some good trophies.

Are you positive "Walter" was able to walk after the kongoni or did you fill in for him.

Sure, you Throw a BBQ party and the crew on AR is looking for their invite...

Amazing, lovely pictures. Thank you

These photos are great, looking forward to seeing more and how this adventure continues to unfold.

ahhh, I love this annual happening! I wish I was there but reading the report and the pictures is a good substitute. Hunt hard, play harder guys

That first buffalo looks like a good entry for Doctari's Rigby competition!

Great pics, Saeed! Thanks.

We got a bit of rain this morning. Might be part of the cyclone, despite the fact we are so far inland.
Nothing serious.
I shot a bush pig and a kongoni.
Walter just arrived after spending a day chasing buffalo.
Anders and Thabit are still out.

Your baits attract a bunch of different critters: Lions, Hyenas, Leopards, Bushpigs, even elephants. Despite all the Leopard pics, I have a tough time spotting any nuts.

And poachers

Great job of scouting locations to place a good bait..

Bait was placed in a good/great location. A lot of action, now you need to find one old enough.

Good looking buffaloes.

Excellent photos from the stealth-cams. Thanks, Saeed.

I hunted Mlele in 18 with Mike Fell. These pics bring back some great memories. Looking forward to many more.

Look again Bud. There's definitely nuts in a couple of the pics.

Anders shot a warthog.
We had non stop thunder last night, and hardly any sleep.
No sound from any of the night animals at all, except right now our own camp cockrel calling everyone to wake up.
Our Viking friends are having a bit of fun.
Saying they are two kids in a candy store is an understatement.
Their game scout is a lion killer.
And he has the scars to prove it.
Apparently he was sent to a village to sort a cattle raiding lion.
He was given a 375 H&H.
He shot the lion, but not killing it.
The lion attacked him, caused a few wounds on his arms and stomach before being dispatched by another game scout.

Saeed, you need to show those boy's how to put on some country chains, so that they could get unstuck.

you had all the fixings to do that.

Poachers cutting down bait at night? Bold, ignorant or just stupid? That's going to cost them in the long run.

We are back in camp at 3.

Checked some baits, non were visited, except one which has a resident one eyed lioness.

She was lying down by the bait, so we replaced it for her.

We are hoping she might call a boyfriend.

Shot a buffalo, and we had a strange happening.

He ran off a few yards and dropped, on the side wherer he was hit.

On the other shoulder, we could see the the bullet half way out sticking from him, tail end first!

Great drohne pictures, Saeed.
Is that the new DJI mini II?

We are using the DJI Mavic 2 Zoom.

Much better than the mini.

Also the 2X zoom comes in very handy.

Looks beautiful. Do you think the Buff are of better Quality?

Another installment of excellent photos. Those little streams with clear water look delightful.

Saaed, what camera do you use. I see its a Sony. Time I buy a small camera. Thanks,Arjun

We are using the DJI Mavic 2 Zoom. Much better than the mini.
That is correct, Saeed...
..."but" did you need an permission for that "big drohne"?
This is the good with the Mini II (they are under 250 gr. and so they are permission-free in the wild).

Best wishes.
F.

Time I buy a small camera. Thanks,Arjun

I would say, it is the best then you buy an bridge-camera. Great for hunting, not to mutch weight, good zoom, good to use in light, pp.
Mostly from Sony or Panasonic (Leica).

Great looking buff, Saeed. Mature, and even ancient, bulls. Bizarre bullet performance on that last one.

And such a wide variety of game!

I like the looks of Anders's rifle. Is that a .458 caliber Mauser '98 of some kind?

Super photos, too!

Many thanks for sharing.

Bolt release screams of Ruger

The Viking and German teams came back with nothing.
Both chased buffalo all day.
There are more bulls on their own here than in the Selous, and they are of course older.
Our cameras are are Sony RX100 MK7 and Sony RX10 MK 4.

Fantastic cameras.

Mike, this is most definitely NOT bizzare performance from our bullets.

It is a design factor for us to recover them.

Going as far as to have a built in function to turn around so it is only held in the buffalo by the expansion.

Cool photo's as usual mate

Love the buffalo Saeed!

Are you seeing any big breeding herds or just groups of dugga bulls?

Thanks as always for including us on your adventures!!

Now things are getting back to normal, we are getting ready too.

Saeed, how many reloads do you get with each case, and how do you keep track of individual case shot cycles?

Thnx in advance!

99.9999% full reverse penetration.

Amazing!

that is some amazing looking country.

The buffalo beat the German and Vikings yesterday.
I don't keep any tracks of my cases.
When one cracks, I change it.
This area is different to the Selous.
Incredible amount of buffalo, including so many lone dugga boys and groups of them.
Fantastic numbers of sable, duikers and reedbuck.

Hardly any impala or waterbuck or eland or wildebeast.
