Thanks NitroX,

Cameroon seems as the obvious place to start searcing. I was aware of the auctions for zambesi and such areas beeing on the expensive side... Economy is ofcourse one reason I want to do it myself, I've got limited funds but still want t hunt elephant. I might go for a tuskless hunt with a guide the very first time, depends on what shows up in due time.

Contacting local authorities will be among my first steps, along with missionarys and other countrymen staying there. We have a few from Norway in various parts of Central Africa. Knowing someone local is of major importance!

(Hunting in New Zealand I spent a night in a local bar at Kumara Junction getting to know people (not to hard beeing a poolplayer and enjoying Speights;-)) It all ended with a couple of mates giving me a ride out to the mountainrange where it ought to be Chammy. They grinned as I departed in the dark to start the walk up- they never thought I'd get one.. As the day ended i came back with a nice black buck shot up at the tops

In Kumara they probably still joke about that crazy norwegian who was so eager to go chammyhunt'n...

but i reckon the laugh went into a great grin as they ate the very tasteful Chammy as I'd already left for Canterbury to go for Thar....

I'm into it for the Adventure!

No-one at the forum who has actually pulled off a solo hunt?
