Tips when Hippo & Croc Hunting in Zambia

• Never think that a relaxed animal is not dangerous; always keep your wits about you and listen to your PH at all times
• Shot placement is everything, make the first shot count, and be ready with follow-up shots
• For hippo & crocodile hunting in Africa, a minimum of .375 is required
• The Zambezi River has an abundance of both hippos and crocs; constant vigilance is required
• Hunts can take place from a traditional canoe (mokoro) or on land, depending on the situation
• Both hippos and crocodiles often give very brief, precise shot opportunities. Do not rush your shot just to take it – water retrievals can be very challenging
