BA - Nyakasanga

PH Comment - Buzz Charlton

Having got to know BA very well over the years, it's a safari that I always look forward to. BA is super chilled and takes everything in his stride - often the recipe to success, as was the case in Nyakasanga. A truly amazing hunt, lions seen every single day leopards, ele buff and wild dogs. The hunting was awesome. BA got an amazing dagger boy including one with his double at close quarters which was always one of his goals. After 5 safaris we also got the elusive grysbok. To top it off a few days tiger fishing and game viewing on the river. Can't wait for two years to pass to hunt with him again - a true gentleman and friend.

Double buffalo/plains game hunt. The camp is set on the banks of the Zambezi river with beautiful views of the river and mountains of Zambia. From camp we observed elephants and hippos daily. The night sounds in camp included elephants and buffalo feeding very close and in camp, as well as the calls of hippos in the river. In the near distance, lions and hyenas could be heard calling almost every night. As with my other safaris with CMS the food and camp facilities were top notch. The accommodations were a large, private tent with an attached, private bathroom and shower. The bed was very comfortable and the showers warm and refreshing. The hunting was on another level. Game, both dangerous and plains were plentiful. Daily sightings of lions, buffalo and elephants were the norm. It was not uncommon to see multiple groups of lions and many males. Buffalo herds were in the hundreds with plenty of dugga boy groups. Elephants were plentiful near the river. We saw a young male leopard cross the road and lay 10 yards from the truck for more than five minutes until he lost interest. Zebra, impala, grysbok, wart hogs, hyena, waterbuck and bushbuck were common. Other sights included eland (a couple of outstanding bulls that didn’t provide a shot), a pangolin and wild dogs. I was able to take 2 very good, completely hard bossed buffalo, including one with an iron sighted double rifle, a bushbuck, grysbok, warthog and hyena. In addition, fishing for tiger fish was available and I spent a couple of afternoons successfully pursuing them. Cruising the river afforded much up close wildlife viewing of elephants, hippos in and out of the water, crocodiles, bushbuck and waterbuck. Nyakasanga is definitely a wonderful safari destination and highly recommended.
