PH Comment - David

JH and I had an awesome time in Nyakasanga with 21 days of hunting we had a lot of time on our side but luck had it. We found our animals and had days to spare for fishing and pleasure. Day 2 of the hunt we got our hippo which we used for bait. We hunt a total of 9 baits for lion. Just when we were getting desperate for more bait we found a very good elephant bull on day 7. Shortly after on day 9 we got a very good looking lion which we got after the first hour on our first sitting. JH made a incredible 116 yard shot. With 11 days left our focus shifted to plains game, hyena and tiger fishing. JH got a fantastic impala and waterbuck. Unfortunately wounded our hyena and caught some tiger fish too. Game was abundant and we had many sightings of lion, elephant, buffalo and even the elusive leopard.

Client Comment

Had a great hunt with David and his team. They worked very hard, which resulted in a great trophy elephant, lion, hippo, impala and waterbuck. The time spent was very enjoyable and we had a great time together. The tiger fishing was a lot of fun. Would definitely hunt with David and CMS again.
