I had the pleasure of guiding long time client and friend Kelly and his charming girlfriend Lori on an amazing 2 week elephant hunt. Kelly as usual performed remarkably despite the fact he had broken his hip and had 4 bolts holding it together 4 months prior to the start of the safari. As always the focus was on close brain shots, on all 8 of our elephants, they were frontal brain shot with the furthest being 25 yards, and the closest being 5.

I look forward to many more safaris with Kelly and Lori – however it will be hard to top this one.

I had a wonderful time in Zim and could not have enjoyed the safari more.
As I mentioned, I think we will look back and note that we accomplished a
tremendous fete with 8 elephant (3 bulls, 3 tusk cows and 2 tuskless cows)
in 11.5 days of hunting, plus a ration buffalo to boot. We have a great
track record of efficiently killing elephant with 15 shot in 21 days of
hunting. Thank you for all that you do to make this happen.

I want you to know that it is an extreme pleasure to hunt with you and
engage these beasts. Every day is enjoyable and that makes a big difference
to me. Lori loved every minute and greatly appreciates the hospitality that
you and others gave to her. She was so emotional about leaving that she
told me later that she cried most of the charter flight back to Vic Falls
out of sadness for leaving. Now how is that for someone enjoying their
first time with CM Safaris?
