I have had a good client cancel a leopard/croc/plainsgame combo in Dande, Zimbabwe with CM Safaris. He has lost his deposit, and someone can cash in on a great hunt with Buzz and Myles’ crew at a great price. Best time will be Aug 15- October. We can discuss exact dates.
CM has run 90%+ success on leopards over the past 10 years, and the way things are going with anti-hunters and politics, anyone who wants a leopard should get one sooner than later.

Normal price on this is $1250/day for 14 days = $17,500

You can do this now for $11,500 day rates + Trophy fees.
All the normal things are included and excluded.

This can also be upgraded to add a buffalo

I have been 3 times with CMS. I hunted leopard one time. I took a very nice leopard and had several others on bait. I forget the measurements of the cat I took.

Lots of crocs in the Zambezi. I took one that was something over 13 feet long as I recall in the single time I attempted croc with them.

They run an excellent operation.

Hi Tim,

Upgrading a Leopard hunt to include buffalo?

It pops up to $1450/day but the deposit can be used.

Someone should jump on this. With Croc on the list you will be hunting out of Matombo camp which is on the cliffs above the Zambezi. It's a lovely camp in my opinion.

The tiger fishing will be great at that time of year as well.

This hunt is a great deal...someone with the time needs to jump on it..that is a prime Leopard hunt.
For those that don't get the "pop up to $1,450" Tim specifically is saying the daily rates increase by $200 per day per CMS's normal pricing between the two hunts to also include Buffalo..

I posted a hunt report on leopard/buff with CMS a few years back. Buzz and Myles run a tight ship with great hunting areas.

I would not do this hunt if you do not have cameraman Justin (the T Snake) with you. I hunted with Tabor in 2013. It was basically a 1 on 2 hunt, not the other way around. If you like to have fun and want to stay at the best camp on the river this is it. Justin knows how to catch vundu, (sorry rich it was snakes gear). Great camp and great people. Can't go wrong with CM
