Some very unusual species.  Lechwe, Roan, Eland and Sable.  Very cool!  That Sable is wonderful.

No they aren't guaranteed you will have to hunt them and I just happened to get lucky because a guy from Hungary didn't get his Cape Buffalo but the best part is you don't get charged for an animal you don't shoot. There was some hunters in 10 days of hunting didn't even see an Eland so No it's not guaranteed but you will shoot some animals when you go it's not a canned hunt

The roan and eland were once I got there we saw my eland and the PH said he was huge and by the time I decided to shoot he takes off and stopped right before the thick brush enough time for a shot. The roan was interesting because I was about to go for another sable and was talking to a local concession owner and brought up that the people with a Sable had a Roan Bull and that I wanted it but they changed their mind so he contacted a few guys and that afternoon I shot the Roan and Nyala

Yes both times we ate eland, this time I ate kudu which was fantastic, Impala was just as good, and Giraffe was good a little tough but good we would have eaten more but we had a lot of late nights packing out and skinning out animals
