PH Comment - Alan

We started in the East, where we spent the first 6 days. We found a couple of bulls and a massive herds of cows with bulls. Moved to the North. Spent 2 days following a very worn track, but never caught him as JW was ‘after cows’. Day 9 we found a track and followed. Caught him in very thick jesse. He was an old bull, and decided to take him. He did come looking for us. JW took a frontal, nearly dropping him, but he recovered and turned to run, a few shots put him down. A great time, and memorable moments

Client Comment

The first elephant hunt you experience will forever remain an indelible memory. The entire CMS team has worked hard every day for this success und ultimately made it possible. Thanks for this experience. To keep on track of a very specific elephant safely for over 6 hours is a masterpiece by trackers and PH. A very special thank goes to my PH Alan for his accurate assessment of the situation!
