Ivory Trail Safaris - Mid season Report
Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen,

Zimbabwe Elections have just taken place and we wait with baited breath what our beloved country has in store for us. Which ever way it will go is definitely a bit of a mystery at the moment but the good news is that when we are out in the field, its like being back in Selous days - Not a worry in the world except what we are going to follow the next day!

We have had a cracker of a season so far - 77b elephant, buffalo all over 40 inches AND OLD OLD OLD worn down bulls... which is the perfect buffalo to take! Leopards that anyone would be proud of and I am definitely proud of my hunters for taking them, and plainsgame that have actually been fantastic.

Tracking Black and white rhino, seeing wild dogs pups in their dens - this place is a smorgasbord board of animals and what a pleasure is it exploring it.

Have a look and let me know what you think. Smiler

Next year is booking up quickly so, if you are looking to do a safari, now is the perfect time to get hold of me and lets get you down to the Save Valley.























Bit of strange weather in the Save for July... but we made a plan to make everyone comfortable!



Tracking White Rhino.





The usual viewing point of a buffalo...



































































Last but not least - my family joined in on safari and what fun it was!




Heres to the second half of the year!

We are expecting another little Smythe arriving in November, so if all goes according to plan and everything is okay with Leah and the little one then yes, I'll be there! Will keep you posted.
