Tim HeraldTrue Cancellation- Niassa Buff Hunt WIth Kambako in Moz
Guys I have never offered a hunt here because I don't want to be in the middle of mudslinging. I have talked to Saeed about this and have his permission to post this - even though it is not in the traditional form. I am not making any money off this at all, this is just trying to give an AR friend a chance at a super deal on a super hunt.I took a group to Niassa to hunt with Kambako safaris last year. We had a splendid trip. I am taking a group this year, and 2 groups next year. I have just had a cancellation in our group this year, and the hunter is leaving $4950 deposit on the table that you can use. My groups already get a discount, so it makes this trip especially appealing.
The dates with travel are July 26-August 12. We will be in camp for 13 days, but you can do a 10 day hunt, and 3 days observer/fishing/photo safari rate.
The hunter that cancelled had a 10 day buff hunt at $9000+3 days observer at $300 for $9900 day rates. You can hunt 12 or 13 days by paying $900/day also. With general license and gun import permit for 1 rifle, the total comes to $10,500. So you can have the hunt for $5550, plus trophy/license fees and charter. There will be 6 of us on the hunt(5 hunters and a cameraman), so charter will be split and will not be too bad. We fly to JNB, stay all night at African Sky, fly to Pemba, Moz the next day and then charter to camp.
The area has 25 huntable species including suni, Litch. hartebeest, Niassa Wildebeest, etc. Sable are available for an upgrade, and most of the common PG are abundant. I will try to attach a trophy fee list below.

I know price list didn't line up just right, but I don't have 30 minutes to try to retype and line it all up. I hope you can get a good idea. If you notice, license and trophy fee is fairly close to just trophy fee in Zim.
To give you a decent idea on travel- I think the flight to Pemba from JNB is about $800-900- so you are probably looking at around $3000 for commercial flights to US. We all used Steve Turner and he has taken good care of us as a group.
Lastly - email me direct at tim@timherald.com or I am happy to answer any questions I can here on the forum. I will be in and out all weekend, but will do my best to keep up.
