PH Comment - Len

We had an amazing Safari. The first elephants we followed, we found them sleeping under a tree and got up very close. Later shooting the elephant in the villages was a great experience for the client. The elephant we shot there were 3 bulls standing together. The larger bull was standing at the back, and it was exciting to try and separate them, which we did successfully. We then hunted plains game and a hyena for the remainder of the safari.

Client Comment

Hunting Elephant bull in Dande East with Len Taylor was an amazing experience. Before I booked, I had some conversations with CMS about the location of the hunt. My wishes were that it should be a true classic 14 day walk and stalk hunt in Dande in the wild Zambesi escarpment. CMS recommended me Len Taylor as the PH and they couldn’t choose a better elephant PH. My hunting friends Lennart, also from Sweden and Richard from South Africa joined up as observers and cameramen. Len and his team of trackers and driver Solomon, Nyati and Abraham were absolutely fantastic in the fine art of hunting elephant, but also had a lot of knowledge in all small animals, birds and insects and flora. On the fourth day, I shot a very nice representative Zambesi escarpment trophy elephant bull. After that we were out for bushpigs, warthogs and spotted hyena, but weren't so lucky. The last night of the hunt we had hyenas at the bait, just some 15 meters from the blind, but it was too dark for taking a safe shot. We also had a lazy day fishing in the Zambesi River. The Pedza Camp, where we stayed and staff at camp were absolutely fantastic. Overall, the hunt could hardly have been better arranged – it was fantastic.
