I certainly agree!!!! Their operation changed my mind about Mozambique!

Best regards, Darin

IMO, as I've said here before (many times), Mozambique and Zambia are the best two safari destinations in Africa today.

That fly camp is a nice set up! We had a blast out there. I have pictures of one of the trackers eating raw iguana eggs he found there.

having hunted Moz twice now(Coutada 10-Zambezi Delta and the shore line of Lake Cahorra Bassa) i can safely say Moz is not on the way to becoming a safari hotspot- it has arrived!

Well done Darin... looks like you and Moz made up! Very nice trophies... I love the suni and red duiker!

On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Darin, finally got on AR and loved your report. Sounds like a great time and great trophies. And a happy belated birthday.

You will have to connect me with your Michigan friends. Not sure where they live but they could be close to me.

All the best,

Larry

Great report and it mirrors my hunting experience with Mark and Glen. we've hunted with them 2 times in Moz and once on a bird & game combo in Zululand.

Only problem is Mark won't leave the keys for the helicopter in camp while I'm there. Guess he's afraid we'd do some sight seeing on our own!

First class and great adventure all the way.

Graeme;

Yes, indeed, we heard the stories about the poachers and the "contract" put out on Craigh. They were frightening to say the least. The story about the dwarf buffalo was a little less so, but he had scars from both episodes!!!! He had some other exciting stories as well...he is an amazing person, and very low key about all his experiences. I would love to hunt with him again.

Best regards, D. Nelson
