BIG GAME HUNTING
“He is there! To the sticks! Aim carefully and shoot straight! Then immediately reload and shoot again until I tell you to quit!” whispers your Professional Hunter as he points you to your quarry.
Many nights of dreaming, hours of planning, and now a long successful stalk masterminded by you PH had put you within near touching distance of this monstrous animal, be it an elephant, hippo, Cape buffalo or leopard.
Your heart beats trying to seemingly escape through your throat. The moment of truth is at hand. You concentrate on the exact spot to place your bullet, gently pull the trigger. “He’s down, he’s down! But reload and shoot again, then top off the ammo in your rifle!” says your PH as he pounds you on the back in congratulating you on your animal.
You watch the down animal for another thirty seconds through your scope, then assured he is dead you turn to see the smiling faces of the trackers and accept the hands in a well done salute.
There is nothing you will ever experience like hunting dangerous game regardless of the species pursued! And there is no finer safari company to pursue dangerous game than Dzombo Safaris where every attention is paid to details to insure you of having a truly successful hunt."
