My son and I just returned from a 14 day leopard and buffalo hunt in Zambia, we booked this safari 3 years ago with Madubula Safaris. The concession we were hunting in was right at 800 square miles and bordered the Kafue National Park. We were able to take a number of wonderful animals, it was definitely a once in a lifetime hunt. We flew from Bozeman to Atlanta, Atlanta to Johannesburg, Johannesburg to Lusaka, Zambia, then a charter flight to a little airstrip in the middle of nowhere, and then a 2 hour ride on a land cruiser to camp.

Nick got to fly a little bit.

Nick with his wildebeest taken with one shot with his .308 at 360 yards, pretty much a bang flop. This was the only animal taken in the open, everything else was either in the trees or in the brush. Nothing stood still for more than 5 seconds.

Black mamba, supposed to be hibernating, we chased this one around on the ground until he went up a tree, very interesting snake.

Most annoying part of the days, tetse flies, bite like a horsefly on steroids
