Condition Comments: |
Too many animals, and I mean "too many", it was very difficult to stalk because you always found another animal to spoil your hunt. I saw more than one hundred Derby Elands from the car (I didn't shoot it because I already had the species). |

Just a tip for the hunters interested in Korrigum. That area has 10 licenses and plenty of them. Martine, the camp manager, told me that even Mayo Oldiri Safaris that has only two licenses has an agreement with Niwa Safaris to hunt in his concession this species.
