My first hunt in Africa was in Ouganda in 1994, where I also shot my first cape buffalo. I had before hunted buffalos in Southeast Asia.

Is Ouganda the French spelling of Uganda?

If so, another GV exotic hunting location.

Intravelled in Kenya in 1989. I shared a train sleeper car with two kiwis. Who were intending to travel to Uganda soon after. They had an acquaintance in Entebbe, I think this was not long after Idi Amin, or maybe Obote, but Uganda was then starting to open up. I'd have loved to accompany them.

I too hunted first time in 1994, but in Zimbabwe, for my honeymoon. A honeymoon safari! One week out of 30 days anyway. Lots of excellent sightseeing.

I think 1994 was a good year for first African safaris. GV, NitroX, I think either Staffan/Sville or EricD. Plus someone else I forget which member.


I'm very intrigued by your SE Asia hunting. Malaya, Borneo?, Did you get to ex French IndoChina? But maybe no hunting there in the 1980s.

I remember you posting water buffalo, maybe Gaur? Gaur is an unobtainable dream hunt of mine. Unless bred elsewhere I doubt it would ever now happen legally.

Please post on hunting SE Asia on a thread somewhere. I see an outfitter or agent HuntGeo, is now selling water buff and croc and ? hunts in Borneo.
