Just in from Coutada 11 where Jay and I hunted with Mark Haldane's Zambeze Delta Safaris. We had an excellent trip from start to finish. Delta made the trip over and back as easy as possible. Africa Sky Guesthouse's gun service and accomodations were superb and the hunting was fantastic.

I have always wanted to hunt this area of Mozambique. Very unique biozones with suni forest, palm savanna, floodplains and swamps. There was lots of game and some very good trophies to be had here. I can highly recommend this adventure and outfitter and I know some of our members can as well. I saw their trophies in the picture albums as I thumbed through them in Mungari Camp. Darin, Dave and Biebs were well accounted for!

I ended up with two buffalo, sable, nyala, hartebeest, reedbuck, suni, red duiker and a huge warthog. And Jay shot everything else in the photo. Will get a Hunt Report out in the upcoming week.

Fantastic!!!!!

Looking fwd to your report Russell, but don't rush it, sounds like it will be a doozie!

Congrats to you and Jay on a bountiful harvest! Looks like you boys did it RIGHT!!!

Looking forward to the stories and pics....dinner on me!!!

That is a GREAT Mozambique safari!

That is reminicient of the old days before 1974.

Congrats!

Very nice Russ. Man, there are a couple of MONSTER Warthogs and Reedbuck there!!

Can't wait for the full report and more pictures. I enjoyed my hunt in Moz. Big buff and lots of them. Where I hunted, I didn't see much plains game and certainly not the warthogs you have there.

Can't wait until you post a report

Congratulations! Looking forward to the details.

Russell;

Well done! Can't wait for the hunt report...did you hunt your Buff in the swamps?

Best regards, D. Nelson

Darin,
Absolutely... one of reasons I wanted to do Coutada 11 was to experience the swamps for buff. As you well know, it is a unique hunt. Between the argos, the papyrus covered rivers, razor grass and mud and muck it is truly a "one of a kind" buffalo hunt!

Beautiful bag. Love the pigs, and that reedbuck is a monster.

OK Russell;

Now I can officially welcome you to the Swamp Club!!!! It is definitely the most unusual buffalo hunt I have ever done....and I've hunted them from a Mocuro in the Okavango Delta. The Moz Swamps require a "crazy" hunter!!!!

Again, congratulations on a great bag of trophies!!! Well done!

Best regards, Darin

Wow cool. I am heading to the same hunt same outfitter and coutada on Sunday. I am pretty excited!

You're in for a hunt of a lifetime... Can't wait to read your report too!

Best regards, D. Nelson

When they talk about Mozambique returning to its "former glory" this is tangible proof that
it is slowly happening. Sure some areas are further along than others and many still have along way to go. I have followed modern day Mozambique hunting since Piet Hougaard first ventured into the eastern Tete Province 25 years ago. There have been some great individual trophies taken in a variety of areas in modern day Moz but his is the first hunting photograph that really hit me as being equal to the glorious past in this Country. Lets put it this way the game pictured in this photo is what some camps are happy to take take in an entire season.

Congratulations to ZDS and everyone involved.

First class trophies all round. Very well done.

Mark runs a first class outfit, for sure! I honestly believe he and Jumbo runs the best outfits in Moz. The rest of us that hunt in Moz can only learn from them!

Realy REALY good specimens....well done boys!

Congratulations on what looks like an amazing hunt. We Leave to hunt with Mark in 2 weeks in Coutada 12.

Congratulations and welcome home. Fantastic bag.

How long was your hunt?

Hope you left us some trophies looks like you cleaned out the Coutada!

GS,
10 days. You will have a great hunt, I promise! And thanks for the congrats all.
