Guys,

Mokore Safaris has some non-trophy buffalo bull hunts left on their Save Valley Conservancy area. These bulls will be hard bossed mature bulls but will just have a spread of less than 34 inches.

Anybody that has followed AR for anytime knows that Mokore's reputation is stellar and the hunting on the Save is excellent to superb for almost all of Zimbabwe's indigenous species. If your not familiar with Mokore and the Save do A quick search here on AR and you'LL find loads of positive material.

Dates are available throughout the season at this time.

1X1 5 DAYS EXPORTABLE BULL $9,500 INCL DAILY AND TROPHY FEE

1X1 5 DAYS NON-EXPORTABLE BULL $8,500 INCL DAILY TROPHY FEE

A TROPHY BUFF SAME AREA SAME EVERYTHING IS $18,000

Extras:

Observers $250 per day
Road transfer Harare-SVC and return $1,000
Conservation levy $20 per person per day
4% Zim tax on daily and trophy fees
Hotels before or after the safari as necessary
Dip/pack
International airfare
Trophy shipping
All insurances

If you pick the non-export hunt you also don't pay any dip/pack or trophy shipping saving you even more. If you have a little more room in your budget I might suggest adding a few days for PG at the $550 per day PG rate. That would make a great and pretty inexpensive safari.

Trophy fees:

Eland $1,950
Giraffe $1,750
Kudu $1,950
Zebra $950
Wildebeest $750
Bushbuck $950
Klipspringer $700

Expat,

Exportable or not it's up to you. It just costs a $1,000 more for the hunt if your going to export the buffalo. You are hunting the same buffalo in the same manner.

The point is for $8,500 you can have a classical buffalo hunt but for a low price and your not paying any dip/pack, shipping, documentation and taxidermy fees saving you a bundle. Even if you do want the cape and horns the hunt is a hair over 1/2 of what the normal 10 day buff hunt goes for.
