We hunted Block B abuting the 10 million acre Niassa Reserve. We had originally booked a Cape Buffalo and plains game hunt. Just before our departure Kambako called us and said they had 2 leopards still available on quota. Kambako offered us an additional PH and his 2 man crew at no charge designated to do nothing but the baiting & checking of baits while we were hunting buff & plains game. They reported their progress and findings to us each evening back at camp so we could make plans to build & sit in blinds when it was the right time. They also offered us the leopard upgrade at a price that was just too good to pass up. We knew it was a risk but after talking to several hunters who had hunted with Kambako before we decided it was a risk worth taking. We figured we had a reasonable chance of one of us harvesting a leopard. It was a long shot that we might both pull it off. To say the hunt was a spectacular success would be quite the understatement. Kambako was 1st class in every way. The PHs we hunted with were absolutely the best hunters & guides I have had the pleasure of hunting with anywhere. The country was wild, free, harsh, and spectacular. The hunting was challenging and not easy by any means which we liked. The PHs & the trackers worked their azzes off trying to put us on game from sun up to sundown every day. It was real hunting in real Africa. I'll post a few pics and add comments as I can. Thanks, 163bc daylight Hyena Last edited by 163bc; 10/08/14.

We both threw up blinds with our PHs on the last afternoon on fresh intel from the baiting PH who had seen big tracks at baits in 2 different areas. The 2 baits that had been hit were about 25-40 miles apart. Blackdogs took the one closest to where he was hunting and I took the one closest to where I was with my PH. It was a last ditch try after coming up dry for 2 weeks. We both shot at last light. It was kinda like scoring a touchdown for the win with no time left on the clock from 80 yards away. It touched off quite a celebration in camp and was the hunting thrill of a lifetime for 2 old hunting buddies. Last edited by 163bc; 10/08/14.

The book ends in late 1989 with Johnson saying that Mozambique was basically dead as a hunting destination. What a difference 25 or 30 years makes!

His concern was that the combination of the political revolution of the 80s, combined with the famine that followed, would decimate game populations. These pics would warm his heart, I'm sure. I'd love to see more pics if there are any. "An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots."

I just finished Captick's book about Wally Johnson, PH in Mozambique a few decades ago. He (Johnson) tells the tale of taking a German/Austrian(?) lady hunting and she downed not one but two Cape Buffalo with, as he put it, a "pipsqueak" 7x57. One shot each. She obviously knew how to use her 'big' rifle as well. "An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots."

Thanks, Sam "The Last Ivory Hunter: The Saga of Wally Johnson" Great book, although it ends on a pretty down note since Johnson didn't live long enough to see Mozambique's hunting tradition revive.

It was one pill a day for a couple days before, during and a week after we returned. I had no issues with it. Went to a travel clinic in Centreville for most of the shots and prescriptions. Piece o cake.
