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.

I can be contacted on 214 – 790 5805

Otherwise – Wendell Reichs Hunters Quest or Safari Outfitters at both conventions

Happy New Year
Happy Hunting

Good to meet you in Dallas!

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.

Hey Gordo,

Hahahaha - Thanks! I know I know… Leah says the same thing about being the better Half… sometimes I agree… sometimes not!

Good to see you in Dallas, if ever so brief. Hawaii is GREAT!

SCI - soon though!

That is my new .500 VC! magnificent double if I do say so myself! come over and you can shoot it!

I might just do that in a not so distant future.....and I will bring my prewar .475 Double..

Does that prewar thing shoot ??

You bet it does, the british knew how to put together a proper double rifle..

It regulates with Kynoch and reloads..

The sun never set on The British Empire..!

Sooo...just keep on stirring that pathetic little pot of yours...

Pathetic ...

We have too meet and compete

The Kilombero will arrive next week according to dealer ! Watch out

Nice...lets start with shooting some .375H&H....

That one "that got away" looks incredible!!!
