I have an acquaintance who has done self-guided hunts in Cameroon and I don't believe he speaks French. However he may have had a mate along who did. I think not speaking French would be a big disadvantage. This guy is a hunting guide down here and has hunted elephant, bufalo etc with guided hunts at least a couple times in Zimbabwe.

I know of some other Aussie guys who used to do self-guided hunts in Zimbabwe by buying at the yearly auctions. I understand now most of these auctions go to outfitters now and the price they pay officially makes it much more expensive. These gentlemen had local contacts with gear so they borrowed the gear for camping etc, plus arranged staff etc through them.

I think it would also be an advantage to have hunted DG in Africa before with an outfitter before trying the self-guided route.

I would like to do these myself one day but am not sure if it is economical at the moment seeing the ridiculous prices being paid for auctioned blocks, concessions etc.

I know Zimbabwe and Cameroon do allow self-guided hunts under certain arrangements but don't know which other countries do. Many countries allow resident hunting or have arrangements for it, but of course one must actually qualify as a resident! It could prove expensive and without much success unless one knows what they are doing and having someone local would really help.
