Right now I believe Joe Wright still holds the concession and Martin Pieters has the hunting rights on both North and South Omay. martin@bulembisafaris.co.zw

Hi Mike

I have the Omay North and the exclusive marketing rights for the Omay South. This enables me to hunt nearly 2 million adjacent acres with varied topography from lake front jesse to hills and open woodland.

Martin, when I hunted Omay north out of Manyuli I didn't see much open woodland. It was just up and down but mostly up. Smiler

You're right bud mostly up Smiler Around the lake there are some cathedral Mopane forests that are pretty flat and open and the lake shore has a sandy soil with varied vegetation ( jesse ), pretty flat as well, but Manyuli, well thats a fitness camp!

In Omay South the Chifudsi camp hunts both mountainous and flat country. Some of the flatest elephant tracks I have been on have been there, also some of the steepest.

It's up and down and the low areas have the 8 feet tall grass.

But saying that, there's a lot of buffalo there.

my Omay North buff hunt with Mart was absolutely the toughest of 9 safaris( Oct hunt in the lakefront jesse one day, then into the rocky hills the next day) but also absolutely the most rewarding when it came together on the last day. fanastic area but realize you may do a "bit" of tracking.

jdollar, I know what you mean last day. For me it was 1:45 on the last afternoon. It was my first safari that I thouht I would return with out a kill. It was a Leopard hunt near the Zim/RSA border and then a days (13 hrs) drive to Omay for Buffalo. It was also exciting after the kill as a bunch of poachers set a fire behind us which we had to pass thru to return to camp.

You will earn your trophies in the Omay! And , if you are a hunter, you will love every minute! Well almost.

Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...

I don't know if it is still in use but that Manyuli camp has one of the best camp views I have ever had in Africa. The last evening we were back in camp prior to dark and had the opportunity to watch the buffalo and elephants come to the river to drink it was great.

Martin Pieter's Chifudze camp is the same way. Sitting by the fire in the evening we saw buffalo and bushbuck right off the deck.

In addition to buff and bushbuck, I have also seen elephant, waterbuck, baboons and vervets from the deck as well as a spitting cobra.

Martin,

do you have an image of a map you could post. I'd like to work out which camps and where I stayed and also where I hunted.

No need to mark the secret spots where the 100 jb ele bull and 49 inch buff bull can be found. Wink

Here is my attempt at posting a map of the Omay. I hunted there and took a nice buffalo with Fricke Mueller in 2007. http://hhksafaris.com/images/maps/omay.gif

Mart... you bet I will! In fact, saw your posting for buff and tuskless this year and it had me whimpering to myself about not having enough time and money to take advantage of it.

For heart pounding eye-popping adrenaline rushes, few things compare with tuskless in the Tiger Bay jess! Unless it is buff in the same stuff! Or in the South, in the hills and jess... damn did I tell you I was having withdrawal pains!

retreever, Dan and I hunted with Mart's crew, last summer. We were at the McKenzie Camp. We had an absolute ball. Scott Bailey did his absolute finest for our father/son hunt, 2x1. We took a tuskless ele, 2 cow cape buff, and a huge hippo. Lake Kariba, from that camp is a very awe inspiring sight! Our hunt was aimed at fun and adventure, and we sure got both! Big Grin
