My Good huntin buddy & I just just returned from a 2 week hunt with Kambako Safaris in Northern Mozambique. We hunted Block B abuting the 10 million acre Niassa Reserve. We had originally booked a Cape Buffalo and plains game hunt. Just before our departure Kambako called us and said they had 2 leopards still available on quota. Kambako offered us an additional PH and his 2 man crew at no charge designated to do nothing but the baiting & checking of baits while we were hunting buff & plains game. They reported their progress and findings to us each evening back at camp so we could make plans to build & sit in blinds when it was the right time. They also offered us the leopard upgrade at a price that was just too good to pass up. We knew it was a risk but after talking with a couple fellow AR members who had hunted with Kambako before we decided it was a risk worth taking. We figured we had a reasonable chance of one of us harvesting a leopard. It was a long shot that we might both pull it off. To say the hunt was a spectacular success would be quite the understatement. Kambako was 1st class in every way. The PHs we hunted with were absolutely the best hunters & guides I have had the pleasure of hunting with anywhere. The country was wild, free, harsh, and spectacular. The hunting was challenging and not easy by any means which we liked. The PHs & the trackers worked their azzes off trying to put us on game from sun up to sundown every day. It was real hunting in real Africa. To fellow AR members Chris & Tim, thank you so very much for taking the time to talk to me and for answering ALL my questions. Your advise and recommendations were invaluable and much appreciated. I'll post a few pics and add comments as I can.

We both took spectacular leopards at last light on the last day of our hunt. We both threw up blinds with our PHs on the last afternoon on fresh intel from the baiting PH who had seen big tracks at baits in 2 different areas. The 2 baits that had been hit were about 25-40 miles apart. Blackdogs took the one closest to where he was hunting and I took the one closest to where I was with my PH. It was a last ditch try after coming up dry for 2 weeks. We both shot at last light. It was kinda like scoring a touchdown for the win with no time left on the clock from 80 yards away. It touched off quite a celebration in camp and was the hunting thrill of a lifetime for 2 old hunting buddies.      | |||

Talk about lucky ending on a great trip  Even though a lot of amazing trophies. The busbuck, is it quarter nyala or something? Those horn tips make me think his granddaddy did a little mixed breeding  Nature is for sure awesome!! | |||

Beaut of a Bushbuck "A peculiar virtue in wildlife ethics is that the hunter ordinarily has no gallery to applaud or disapprove of his conduct. Whatever his acts, they are dictated by his own conscience, rather than by a mob of onlookers. It is difficult to exaggerate the importance of this fact." | |||

Ryan was my PH & Paul was my partners PH. Johnnie was our designated leopard baiting PH. Matt hunted with a couple from Indiana and they had a great hunt as well. I can't say enough good things about the PHs and staff. They were exceptionally good at what they do. 163bc | |||

Looked like a fantastic adventure for two good friends! I always enjoy buddy hunts. Makes the successes twice as pleasurable. Well done.
