About this hunt
Since 1995 hunting has been selective and very conservative, which resulted in a dense game population and record-able trophies. The trophy lengths of the collected Derby elands all exceed 461/2 inches or 118 cm (Rowland Ward: spiral measurement) with a record, shot in 1997, of 531/4 inches or 137 cm. (Cameroon n° 1 (Rowland Ward ed. 2002)). The length of the lions varies from 1121/2 to 1196/8 inches (285 to 303 cm). The trophies of the western roans are between 24 and 299/8 inches (61 and 76 cm) and those of western Bushbuck 99/8 and 15 inches (25 and 38 cm). This safari is 7 days long and includes 4 different species from group II. and group III. Group II.: Western hartebeest, Waterbuck, Bohor reedbuck, Western kob, Red river hog, Warthog Group III.: Western bush duiker, Red Flanked duiker, Oribi, Baboon One single animal per species and only males can be shot.

Cameroon , Faro River area
We tracked savannah buffalo , almost everyday , unique eco-system ,, very beautiful area especially along the Faro River , very nice camp along river , good food , good service , hard working staff , intense tracking abilties , dedicated anti-poaching Team , enjoyed fishing in evenings & seeing all types birds & animals .
Although we tracked bufs almost everyday ,, we couldn’t get up on them bc of worm mounds on ground sounds like your walking on fresh snow & alot of dried leaves prevented us from making final approach , without bufs hearing us & them taking off w/out chance to look for a bull . Looks like there’s a good population of bufs in this area . Also theres some very wicked thick riverine bush , thats hard to approach animals in . We gave it hell trying ,, thats why they call it hunting !!!
Last wilderness in Africa
An area Full of Game, no villages, no cattle. PH has detaillied knowledge when which animal will be where. Tracking qualities of the whole team superb. Trophee quality excellent
Nothing to complain
Most authentic safari experience
it was definitely the best and most authentic safari experience i ever had. You are very far from those southern shooting farms. Thanks to Koen, the manager, I lived a pure dive in the central african atmosphere. As a University teacher, he is an expert and he offers you a thrilling experience with close contact with the game. I recommend it to any real hunter.
