Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen, 2013 was a great year for Ivory Trail Safaris and as we go into 2014 – some new and exciting ventures are eminent. Ivory Trail has taken on a new area – Gokwe North Campfire Area. With now the added bonus of hunting after daylight hours for cats, this greatly increases ones chances on leopard and the smaller of the cats - Genets, Civet, Servals as well as the likes of porcupine, hyena etc Dangerous game bow hunting, handgun hunting and black powder is permitted with a special permit required in Gokwe North! Situated on the banks of the Ume Rive and operating on solar power allows game to regularly pass through the camp. Camp is a stilted camp – comfortable with hunting right from our doorstep! Some pictures of the area!    Having access to Lake Kariba as well allows a hunter to include HIPPO and CROC   To quickly recap some highlights of last year 2013.         The one that got away….            I think this one died when he heard the shot….! All skin and bones!       Couldn't resist this one!!  As we go into the new 2014 year – Thank you to all who made 2013 possible. Leah and myself will be at DSC in a week and SCI at the beginning of Feb.

Phil, great season and thanks for helping to make me part of it. My ivory looks sooo big next to little Leah, I think she should pose with all ivory in the future. See you in Dallas next week.

Phil, good to see you again in Dallas and of course it was great to finally meet your new bride Leah. The term "better half" never applied more appropriately then to her! Enjoy the States and Hawaii.
