My 2nd hunt with TC. It was even more enjoyable than the 1st which rated as one of my favorites. We simply had a lion hunt to dream of. We tracked lion and set a bait and we spotted lions, in all we saw 16 different males and shot one of the oldest lions CMS have ever shot. I would say he would be 13. We also shot a tuskless and had a hectic charge from another, that we had to put down. We also collected a great kudu, grysbok, impala and hippo and had two awesome tiger fish on fly - with the best day being a 21 fish day on fly. Roll on our 3rd hunt which will be for big ele bull in 2025.

Recently returned from an EPIC lion hunt in Nyakasanga with Charlton McCallum Safaris in Zimbabwe. Here's the breakdown... - First hand encounters with nearly 30 lions, 17 of which were males. - Excellent tracking sessions on lions, with no less than 6 encounters while tracking. - Plentiful elephant and plains game both of excellent trophy quality. - The Lion I took was ancient. Estimated 12-14 years old. - Camp and staff were excellent and professional as always. Took the following trophies: Lion Elephant Kudu Zebra x2 Impala Grysbuck Warthog Hippo - All followed by excellent fly fishing for tigerish on the Zambezi! Phenomenal experience! Highly recommend
