I don't know about the name Uwanda GR, as everyone I know calls it Rukwa GR. Either way, it is a good area and I am looking forward to July.

Aaron:

Doesn't this concession border with Lukwati GR ?
I remember years back, George driving his tractor cleaning a hunting track on the other side of the river - it had to be the Rukwa as the Yeye was more like a large stream.

JUST SO HAPPENS I still have the TZ Game Conservation and Tourism Map that Larry Richards gave to me at one of the conventions in the early 90's.It is circa 1972 and shows all National Parks, Game Reserves (GR) and Game Controlled Areas (GCA) at the time.

At the time Lukwati was a GCA. It touches, barely at one point in the south by "Uwanda (Lake Rukwa)" GR. To the west was North Rukwa GCA and to the Northwest Rungwa River GCA.

Safari2 - Perhaps you should have signed up for the hunt with me? I can't imagine anyone who would have more fun or appreciation for the hunt/location, than yourself.

Yes it would be fun Aaron no doubt. I think my chance for TZ has passed. I really missed my chance back in the early 90's ..could have done a 21 day hunt with Cotton Gordon for 22k plus trophy fees..went to Zim instead for 7k less. Still had a good hunt in Zim but did not get a lion.

Well, we all have our limits - and each of us is different in that aspect. Something like this offer here, is what still makes it possible for me to hunt TZ, otherwise I may not be able to do it either. I love TZ, in the right place of course - but its not a cheap place to hunt!
