PH Comment - Alan Shearing
We had a tough time, with leopard. The first half the warden wouldn’t allow us to bait along any rivers or near pans with or without water. We did get a lot of cats feeding but not many that met with the aging criteria. The full moon played a role in keeping the leopard from coming in daylight and the impala were in full rut, so the cats were not hungry. We did sit 5 times but no luck. However, we had lots of fun as usual and a hippo, buffalo, 4 impala and a tuskless were taken and we had fantastic sightings of game, including 4 leopard and some lions.
Client Comment
Ever since the first time we came here to Nyakasanga we looked forward to always coming back. Now being our third time - we find ourselves planning to come back again. We had some amazing sightings lots of exciting tracking of buffalo, eland, impalas and tuskless elephants. We were amazed by the skills of the trackers Maplan and Martin. We couldn’t have been more honoured to have Alan as our PH again along with David. Again, we learned so much, and had great experiences whilst hunting for leopard etc. We arrived and clients and left as friends.
