Second that. I have hunted Zambia for fifteen years and have hardly scratched the surface.

For your money best Lion, Sable, Roan, Sitatunga, L. Hartebeest, Puku, Crawshay's D. Waterbuck, Reedbuck, Oribi and a host of other notables.

Beauty of Zambia is that there are still large regions that remain unexplored or hunted. You drive off the hunting track into unchartered hinterlands.

You get to witness congregations of thousands of animals. Just like the old days.

Good choice Samir.

Anywhere out of New Jersey would suit me just fine, lol.

It would have to be Tanzania for me.

I have seen Uganda mentioned several times. What is hunted in Uganda? I am not at all familiar with the hunting there?

Zambia. i have hunted Tz, RSA(X3), Moz(x2), Zim(x2), Bots, Nambia( going back there in Oct). don't really care to spend the money involved for CAR/Cameroon. if Andrew does a group AR hunt next year( BIG HINT), that should do it!

1. Uganda buffalo
2. Angola just to go, waiting on R.W. to get this one open.
3. Ethiopia Omo Valley
4. Redneck 401K plan Texas Lotto, the big one to make the above 3 possible!

I've hunted all over Zambia - it is and always will be my favorite African country. As Andrew says, good choice!!

Mozambique is magic!
I have hunted S.A., Bots, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Zambia, Tanzania and the only place that compares to Mozambique is the delta of the Okavango ,really an absolutely wonderful place.

Ethiopia, once they get out of the clouds with their wayyy high fees and 14 day minimums...What about a 5 day warthog/antelope hunt as part of an overall tour of that wonderful country??

Ethiopia...a 21-day hunt for one animal. The world record Mt. Nyala. Did it once but came up a few inches short. Might have to go back. The Mt. Nyala is Africa's greatest trophy.

Bwana Moja, I don't know if it is the greatest but it sure has my attention for the next 10 months. They have reduced the time requirment for lic to 15 days.

I've hunted Tanzania (Kilwa block South of the Selous), but would
love to hunt/see Masailand in Northern Tanzania. Gerenuk, Grant's &
Thompson Gazelle are tops on my list!

Would also like to hunt big ivory in Botswana before it closes. I'm
waiting to hear about some late season (Oct,Nov)
openings for this year?
Cats in Zambia would be third on my list. (maybe a big sable while I'm there!)

Actually, driven Red Grouse in Scotland would probably be my first
choice the more I think about it. So many choices!

Tanzania and classic tent safari.

Indi...what areas have you hunted in Moz?

Safari2 - i hunted Cabo Delgado province very close to Niassa and in the delta of the zambeze.
Two different systems but both beautiful.
I love the country , the people, the real hunt.

CHINA

i thought i read here that you had quit hunting, sold your rifles, and moved on to other pursuits. guess i shouldn't believe everything i read...

I got the Africa bug 10 years ago and have been 6 times and it is the only place I have traveled to internationally to hunt. I have all ways talked about all the place I would like to goto hunt but just kept putting it off. In the last year 3 friends that I went to high school with and were in better health than I am dropped dead, I am 49 to give you context. So, I am going to start to hit all those places I have all ways talked about going. Of course every African country that has hunting is on the list.

1. England for roebuck and muntjac (booked for August of this year)
2. Alberta for bear (looking at going spring 2014)
3. Argentina for red stag (spring 2015)
4. Australia and New Zealand just because

China for Takin-two species

I've only hunted in a few countries, so my money-is-no-object short list is:

CAR
Zambia
