We had a great hunt, Tuskless shot on day 6. We saw around 200 elephant. E made a perfect side brain on his tuskless. We spent the remaining days hunting some plains game. Such fun hunting with E and I look forward to next year in Nyakasanga. KH- DSA

A true “proper” Zambezi Valley elephant hunt! The temperatures were high and the going was tough but we did well and had an extremely rewarding hunt! In total we tracked and found 18 bulls in 5 days which I was happy with. On the 5th morning we found 6 bulls on the Irira river near the villages. They moved out of the villages mid-morning, and we got onto them around noon, as they were resting in the shade close by. We finally got all six visual and chose the oldest looking bull with nice dark and attractive ivory. Of course, the was the bull who offered the most difficult shot. K took a frontal brain shot with his 450/400NE at about 35 yards – did not quite make it but did get close enough to the brain for the bull to stumble and allow for a relatively simple back up shot. K’s back up shots were good, and the bull only went 20 paces. It was so good to hunt the old fashioned way, with someone who appreciates that and with a double rifle
