Following, We are heading there in June. We can't wait. Did you take you're own rifle or use the camp rifle?

That is an outstanding Sable!

Nice zebra as well.  I found Zebra to be my second favorite meat as well. Eland was #1.

On my first trip, I had absolutely zero zero interest in a zebra.  Once I arrived and saw them, I was totally hooked and had to have one.  It was my favorite hunt of the trip (Mountain zebra so we were up in the high country) and honestly, my favorite mount.  I had it done as a pedestal and it came out amazing.

I highly recommend doing the sable as a pedestal - they look amazing.  Like a full sized chess piece.

Excellent write up, and adventure. Does the guide service you are using do just photo safaris, and if so are the meals the same?
