Ele day one we did a lot of milage and did not see a track. Day 2 we went south to Urira Village. We stopped at the road and sent trackers to look. They called to say that there were elephant in the river. We rushed down to find 8/9 bulls one of which was an old with long this tusks. We decided to take him. Frontal at +-20 yards. Slightly missing the brain, but the next shot put him down. Very exciting amongst so many bulls. The next 4 days were dedicated to eland, which we connected with on day 5. We tracked 2 bulls and found them late afternoon in some old lands. We had to sneak about 300 yards to get within 250 yards. ZF made a fantastic shot and secured a beautiful old bull. Waterbuck – we took at late afternoon walk along the Manyimo River. We hadn’t gone far when we heard something. We stopped and waited and eventually out came a great waterbuck bull. 30 yards away. ZF wasted no time in dropping him. Bushbuck – we spent a lot of time on the bushbuck, but finally flushed a good ram in walking along a spring up in the hills. ZF made a quick shot offhand. We collected a few more animals. Had a fantastic hunt with ZF once again.

My second hunt with Alan and my first time in Mururu Camp, it's tough to beat ….. Very good hunt again. We actually saw a lot of game. I took a nice elephant bull and a great eland. Duiker, bushbuck and warthog. I really enjoyed hunting in the north this trip. Beautiful area and saw some amazing scenery. I really enjoyed the spring to spring walks in the hills looking for bushbuck. Great second trip.
