I am new to the Campfire. I hunting in 2008 with Chifuti Safaris for Leopard/Buffalo and PG. I took my oldest son with me as an observer. It was a 14 day hunt. The first two days we hunted out of their main camp on the Zambezi. Then we moved to a tented camp on the Chewore River for 10 days then back to the main camp for the final two.
We had the time of our lives. It was our second hunt to Africa. The first was a PG hunt in SA in 2004. I took an awesome cat on day 7. We had 8 baits up. All 8 were hit by the time we left. I sat in a blind on the 4th day and watched a small male feed for about 15 minutes. One morning, walking up to another bait, we watched a female feed for a few minutes before she got down. I also took a 40" buffalo, a huge Hippo bull, a bushbuck, a trophy Impala, two baboons and my son shot a Kudu bull, and a couple of baboons.
Ian Gibson, was my PH. Could not have asked for a better PH. I would hunt with him tomorrow if given the chance. The camps were great and the food was excellant. Our hunt was the last two weeks of July. PG were not the most plentiful. A Zebra and Hyena were the only animals I wanted to take that I did not. Did not have an opprotunity at either.
I would recommend Chifuti to anyone. Their area is a great wild DG area. Great camps, staff and PH's.
