| Game
Condition Comments: |
Game was extremely plentiful and trophy quality was excellent. Animals were generally very calm and presented great shot opportunities. This is the concession and team if you want Lord Derby Eland, Western Roan, Western Buffalo, and all the game on the B license. Saw the big 3 every day! |

SUMMARY
REMARKS |
|
| Problems
of Hunt: |
None. |
| Highlights
of Hunt: |
Every day! The best camp, equipment, food, staff of any hunt I've been on in 50 years. Patrick has backup equipment for his backups. Anti-poaching teams have allowed the game population to explode. First place I've ever hunted a second time. Was in this camp in 2010 and had a fantastic trip! My father was with me on that trip. He'd also hunted with Faro West approximately 10 years ago -- his critique was that Faro East overall was as good or better! PH Patrick Dahlan and PH Guillaume Becker are both top notch. |
