Craig McDonald, out of Midland Texas. A big out door's man. Craig has made a few trip's to Africa and this was his second trip to Tanzania. Elephant was on the top of the list and took some other great trophy's. We hunted in the Selous Game RTeserve with African Bush Company and hunted in U1 & U2. We had a fantastic time!

The Leopard on safari really gave us the run around. At one stage we had 5 leopards feeding on baits, but we decided to wait for the Big Tom on one particular bait. This Tom just never came back, and we then spent many hours, in fact many nights sitting in blinds waiting for Leopards. We saw one leopards, females, lions, and even the odd hyena. Sadly that Big Tom never returned. Just gives Craig something to look forward to for next time.

We came across this herd of Lichtenstein's Hartebeest, and as they ran off we noticed a really small calf got left behind. It couldn't have been more than a few hours old. We all jumped out, took a look, got some footage and left him on his own, hoping the herd would return for him. Good news is the following day we saw the herd again and he was happily back with his mother and thgis time staying really close to her.
