Real hunting in wild Africa
This was the most authentic and adventurous hunting experience I've ever had in Africa. When it's dark and your car is stuck in the long grass with a fresh buffalo carcass onboard, and you know for a fact there are lions nearby, it doesn't get any more real or thrilling than that... We hunted in two areas: Matetsi ECA and Matetsi Unit 5. Saw lots of plains game and elephants in both, but for buffalo Unit 5 proved to be superior with many extremely large herds. A couple of times there were fresh dugga boy tracks in the ECA and once even a large herd, but overall I felt chances for getting one there weren't very good this time of the year compared to Unit 5 (October). I shot two impalas and two kudus in addition to the buffalo, but we also had very good chances for eland, bushbuck, giraffe and hyena. Lions were also often there. Shingi the PH and his crew really knew where to go to efficiently get good opportunities with various game. I also greatly appreciated that Shingi was willing to hunt as long as we needed and wanted to for any important animal on my list. To summarize: I would be happy to hunt with Elephant Trails Safaris again in the future!
It's a new operator and can't yet offer such a generous and luxurious experience as older and bigger operators. But they are nearly there, and what you get as a customer is a very authentic hunting experience which I think should be what most people are after anyways.
