In that case I don't know him....sorry.

If you're thinking of a hunt in Kilombero you need to be very cautious about malaria & bilharzia. A lot of the area is wet and a large percentage of the hunting is from boats.

some of the companies there will first tell you that you don't need a charter plane and then once they think they have hooked they tell you that the train is always delayed and you need their charter, but if you check it out you'll find their charter price is 3 times the price of the other companies.

.....so make sure you know what is included and what is not in their package price. some of the companies there are good, so please don't think I'm tarring them all with the same brush.

You don't say what type of hunt you're researching, but if it's Buff or cats I would suggest there's better areas than Kilombero.......but don't think I'm trying to give you the hard sell. If you're interested, you'll look at my website and if not then I'll still advise as best I can.

Wherever you look in TZ you need to remember that the TZ government charge a plethora of small additional charges such as rifle import, licence fee, conservation fee, concession fee, community development fee etc etc. So make sure that you get a comprehensive safari contract spelling out all charges and stating that there are no additional charges other than those specified......also be aware that the tips add up dramatically. It's not unusual to have 15-20 staff in camp and even if you give them an average of US$25 per person it can add up to an appreciative amount of money.
