I wasn't planning on taking another impala, but when I saw this one I changed my mind. Did I say I was happy about the impala?  I also want to add a comment about photos in general. I just handed my camera, whether the Nikon DSLR or the Canon pocket camera, to Clinton van Tonder and he took the photos. I take no credit. What I have posted is a mix of photos from both cameras, which just goes to show you that you can take very nice photos with a pocket Canon S95, such as this one:  _________________________________ AR, where the hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history become the nattering nabobs of negativisim. | |||

Hey Wink! Great report. Sharing camp with you was great fun. We just got into Dar, but I'll post a report and start editing all the video once I get home. Glad to see you got home safe after that charter incident. You should see how they ended up getting that plane out haha, and yes I had the camera rolling the whole time. I'll be in touch soon. -bobby | |||

Thanks to bobby I've a couple of photos of the final resting place of the light aircraft which ended up in the bush at the end of the Mseguni airstrip:   Judging from the smoke in the upper right hand corner of the second photo, Kinky and Johnny Masai still have access to matches. _________________________________ AR, where the hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history become the nattering nabobs of negativisim. | |||

One last group photo of the great team that made my safari both fun and successful:  From left to right: Clinton van Tonder, me, Mbijani, Kingui, Sweetness (the driver, who's nickname changed daily), and the game scout David.

retreever How were you able to take pictures of the terminal and plane. Trying to take my camera out to take a picture of our Airplane, i was almost tackled. All those armed guards watching the airport place and it was a NO PHOTO area. >>>>>>>>>>>>>> "You've got the strongest hand in the world. That's right. Your hand. The hand that marks the ballot.

Great report. That is a Cessna 206, I believe. It does not require a "co-pilot" someone was riding along to log it probably. Hey, hours are tough to come by! Glad nobody was hurt! Well, except your forehead, but that was self inflicted. All the photos from my first hunt in Zim had scope cuts. Every single one. Good pictures and a nice report. | |||

Lovely trophies. Good shot placement [as seen on some photos] makes good bullet performance of lesser importance!  Whatever, it sure all worked out for you. Congratulations!
