The Zambezi valley, Zimbabwe.....God's country.
With a bit of luck, I shall be in a position to compare it to the Selous in Tanzania, this year.

NitroX,
In 1994 I was in the Lowveldt hunting on the Lemco Ranch with Tsankuruka Safaris and PH's John Greeff and Mike Fynn. Good chaps and great hunting!

It's been a couple of years since this topic was up, so I thought we'd see if any of our newer members have a favorite African country they've been in.

Or if any of the members who posted on this thread already have changed their minds.

I've enjoyed Tanzania the most, followed by Zimbabwe.

I know 6 African countries but I have never visited the favourites : RSA, Nam, Moz, Tanz, Bots, Zim and Zam.
Consequently, I prefer keep my opinion for myself.

JB,

But I am sure you have a favorite amongst those 6 countries you have visited?

I am frankly amazed at the low frequency of Zambia in this thread. It is absolutely the last bit of Southern Africa that has really wild animals, not too badly touched commercially people, with a real desire to help, a forward looking "harvesting " policy (hate that word). Fantastic mix of jesse, mopane, plains, river valley. great roads that are passable but rustic as are the villages, a terrific variety of trophies which whilst not all "world class" are all very representative, hardly any tourists to fall over, Couple of good hotels in Lusaka to treat yourself at the end and camps where the cooks know how to. Tripping over gazillions of Ele and Lion whilst after Buff is def interesting

Having said all that, ZA is undoubtedly Gods country and in its day must have been awesome. That whole bit between Baadplass and Sabi inc Graskop, Skukuze, Pilgrims, Blyde river, Gods window, Nelspruit hills etc etc - all the Jock country along low/high veldt and the Drakensbergs offers plains, mountain, bush country, weather from a frosty English December Morning to a sunny May Day and highland stalking way beyong the stags at Glen Feshie.

So far I am very lucky to go to Z and ZA both each year. I hope the Wildlife depts and approp govts hang in there

quote Hollis :
" It is absolutely the last bit of Southern Africa that has really wild animals, not too badly touched commercially people,"

I fear the CAR is more wild.
I hunted there in january. Today the hunting zone (3 000 000 ha) is a combat zone. The Muslims Sudaneses are invading the CAR and yet have been stopped on the hunting zone just before taking the town of Bria over.
I hope the Foreign legion (based in Bangui in the CAR and N' Djamena in Chad, will stop and smash them.

My favourite country could be the Burkina but it's because of the very engaging personnality of Touffic, the outfitter. I need to know the South African countries before risking an opinion.
