Just in -- this hunt is the featured hunt of the inaugural issue of the The Hunting Report, Africa Supplement! We are the only Chapter to have this wonderful adventure with Safaris Chelet in exotic, colorful Benin, West Africa! This is a 10-day solid chance at some REALLY hard to come by African trophies, such as roan, savannah buffalo, harnessed bushbuck and more! Check out their Alibori camp in Benin at www.newsafaris.com. A comfortable, basic camp with air conditioners, good food, friendly service. For one hunter. Bob and Pam Keagy hunted there in 2011, and had a great time, with four-out-of-four solid record book entries. Due to high costs, there is a minimum on this hunt.

For the first time ever! Our good friends at Safari Chelet have a new savannah plains game area in Northern Cameroon, and we got a 10-day donated hunt in this new Cameroon area! This offers some really rare trophies in a new area, bordering the well-known Mayo Oldiri concession. The camp appears well-provided, with trophy opportunities for buffalo, roan, sing-sing waterbuck, harnessed bushbuck, kob and several rare duikers. This is your chance to experience a part of Africa that few see. See the Cameroon hunt photos at www.newsafaris.com. Since costs in West Africa are high, there is a minimum on this donation.
