| Zambia Safari: The Bangweulu Swamps DVD
Order # SF15
The first animals hunted are the Oribi and Tsessebe which are both
found on the grasslands surrounding the flood plains.
The Bangweulu Swamps are the only place in the world where the Black
Lechwe exists. Only the male has horns, which are ringed and
lyre-shaped, with 23 inches considered to be a good trophy. In order to
increase the chances for an excellent specimen, Wayne and Ronnie and a
skeleton staff move to fly camp. The reward is that Wayne is able to
take a beautiful 26 incher on-camera.
Then the hunting begins for one of Africa's greatest trophies: the
ghost of the swamps, the legendary Zambezi Sitatunga, an aquatic
antelope that lives in the swamps. As a defense mechanism, Sitatunga can
actually submerge with only their nostrils above water.
Sitatunga are difficult to hunt and rarely photographed. But Wayne
and Ronnie move their camp into the swamps and several Sitatunga are
filmed before Wayne takes a magnificent specimen on-camera.
