In Sichifulo there was too much grass. A lot of water holes had not yet dried up due to late rains in May. Also, the game was scarce. Poaching was also a problem. |

I finally goat a roan on the nineth safari and got a shot at a leopard in a tree! Sitatunga and big sable. Also, the staff speaking English. |
| Equipment
Recommendations: |
375 shotgun (because of bush) for fun bird shooting and good bug repellant for tsetse flies. |

SUMMARY
REMARKS |
 |
| Problems
of Hunt: |
Sand flees in Zululand. Two large puffs adders in camp that PH dispatched, not really a problem. |
| Highlights
of Hunt: |
Sitting in the sand forest calling suni red duiker in, night hunting the cape grysbok and the two very lucky long shots on vaal rhebok and mountain reedbuck. |
| Equipment
Recommendations: |
Need something to discourage those awful sand flees. Also bring drugs to fight "tick bite fever" in case you get it. |
| Would You
Recommend This Hunt to a Friend? |
Yes |
| Why? |
I would absolutely recommend the hunt. It is good hunting and I made good friends. |

 |
|
I really appreciated the animal behavioral knowledge of this group of professional hunters. I've not hunted with anyone better at predicting how the animals would react and what I must do to get that animal in the salt. I appreciated their calmness and coaching.
My last shot of the safari was about a 200 yard shot at a gray duiker -- "CLICK." Very calmly Gaume Hume said, "reload." I got the little guy.
The camps were run efficiently and we were treated with respect from the staff. They bend over backwards to see that we had whatever we needed, including a trip to the doctor for a prescription to keep the itching down from those dreadful sand flees.
All in all, a very professional and fun team to hunt with.
