I can get permits for Elephant, cats, varieties of other quadrapeds, and perhaps even Rhino in several countries.
Recommend bringing Winchester 300 or equivalent, perhaps even 375 H&H if Elephants are sought.
In the west I have been to Angola, Namibia, and Zimbabwe - all are like paradise.
In the east I've been to Kenya but no where else. I would like to know if Uganda is possible.
Has anyone been to Mosambique, Zambia or Malawi - next on my list.
I have someone very good who's been in Zimbabwe for thirty years and can get permits easily there.
