I have hunted there but never again unless they open for elephant, it is a swamp and I don't like Swamps or Swampy places...too many things that buzz, crawl and slither and any time I'm in water in Africa I get tense, not scared just friggen tense...

We drove right up through Moz last year and hunted in Cabo del Gado. The northern parts of the country I saw were undulating and not at all swampy. The concession had a mountain range running along one side and a river on the other. The only place I saw a mosquito in September was my room in Pemba. The tsetsi flies were a pest if you left the car window open but never bothered us in the bush. We found a long snake skin but not its owner. We wore shorts and would nap in the dry leaves after lunch and fortunately none of the army ants came along while we were doing it.

It was the same area they got that elephant pictured above. I got a shot at everything I went for but can't comment on relativities as it was my first trip.
