Mokore Safaris Zimbabwe & Mozambique
There is no substitute for experience
This past June my wife, Anne, and I went on a Leopard safari with Mokore Safaris. This was a perfect adventure. Things started when a couple of giraffes moved off of the cleared runway allowing the small plane to land and deliver us to our PH Neil and his trackers. What a way to start! After settling into our lodging and meeting the camp staff the hunting activity began in earnest. In spite of extensive reading about leopard hunting, I did not appreciate how difficult and arduous a task it was. After ten days of checking for sign, shooting and hanging bait, building and sleeping in blinds the effort was rewarded. A fantastic leopard was shot! And, best of all, this wonderful adventure continued. In addition to the leopard both Anne and I were able to collect other fantastic trophy animals. In the process we were given the opportunity to observe many different species, such as elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebra, eland and kudu in their natural state. We also learned much about the threat poaching is to the native wildlife and hunting. we were also able to observe the activity conducted by Mokore Safaris to control and minimize the poaching threat. The camp is situated in an area with fantastic wildlife viewing; many hours each day were spent doing this. The accommodations were luxurious, the meals superb and all members of the camp and hunting staff responsive to our needs. Although I had hunted in southern Africa on four previous occasions, this was my first safari with Mokore Safaris; it was the best. This is the one that has given me the best appreciation of what an original African safari must have been. Anne and I hope to be able to repeat this experience.Kirk SmithCell: +1-508-935-8595Email: kirkwsmith@aol.com This letter is to anyone considering an African hunt. I have hunted with Mokore on three separate occasions both in Zimbabwe and Mozambique primarily for cape buffalo but also for plains game. All three hunts were conducted with the highest level of professionalism. The Duckworth Family have been doing this for a long time and it shows. They all pull together and if there is a problem with travel plans or visas for example they all band together and make the problem go away. On my last hunt this past September I took a 42 inch Buffalo and a 15 foot 6 inch croc in Mozambique, it was simply an amazing hunt. If you hunt with Mokore you will be hunting true professionals who are dedicated to providing you with a great hunt.Larry YacubianCell: +1-941-875-4339Email: lyacubian@aol.com We just finished up our 6th Safaris with the Duckworth's.

They have outstanding camps in both Moz and Zim. Trophy quality is great as well as staff. Of course this would not be possible without their wives running the show!!Louis J Foght JrHome: +1-915-772-2155Cell: +1-915-526-1572Email: ljfoghtjr@sbcglobal.net
