In 1968 as a member of the BSAP Support Unit we lived on the Nyakasanga, sweeping daily for terrorist spoor coming from Zambia. We were the only humans in the entire area apart from a couple living on the old Chirundu sugar estates. As a lone escort I accompanied a surveyor on a walk from the Chewore mouth cross country as the crow flies to Kanyemba. The plains were full of different species, absolutely no humans apart from the two of us. That's the luxury road you drive on now.
Having hunted my own giant leopard in May of 2023, in Zimbabwe, I really enjoyed this video. It was an extremely well made video. I completely agree with this hunter, Frank Cean, as I thoroughly enjoyed every second of my hunt. The nights in the blind were intense and magical and being part of the entire baiting process and participating in building the blinds was so enjoyable as well. Perhaps my favorite hunt in my lifetime of amazing hunts. I remain in contact with my great PH, Bruce Conje, on a frequent basis and look so forward to photos from his continual adventures all across Zimbabwe, including the Zambezi Valley where this hunt took place. For those considering a leopard hunt, do it! You will have a once-in-a lifetime type experience!
It’s always awesome to see my great grandpa go hunting! Because of his knee I haven’t been able to go out hunting with him except once while turkey hunting. Great job my favorite papa!
1:02:58 Stunningly beautiful video so thanks for posting this. I hunted with Buzz in Chewore North out of the Big Five camp in 2005 for lioness and tuskless and it was fantastic. Nothing beats the surreal beauty of cruising down the Zambezi at dusk. Well done on your leopard and I hope to still be hunting Africa when I am eighty also. Thanks for the inspiration.
What a thoughtful P h along w/the great guys working so hard to make this great hunt fun. Glad they filmed this beautiful country for us to enjoy the trip!
I just started watching big game hunting in Africa. It is very impressive !! Buzz is the best I have seen. He is down to Earth and extremely knowledgeable about his trade. Frank was fantastic ! I am 71 and he would put me to shame. The trackers, the camera man, the fishing guide and all the help was a great team to make this trip for Frank extra special. It was an honor to watch this video ! Thanks for making it and sharing it with the world ! God bless all of you !
Thank you so much for your comment Don! This safari really did check all the boxes! Frank was truly inspirational and it was an absolute pleasure capturing his experience!! A. Jack
@@GrumpyTinashe just goes to show how little the country has progressed since 1980, mapping most likely doesn't need modernization. Walk on, Zanu fanboy!
@@JohnDale1401Maybe it's not progressed in your eyes that's fine but we are free. Where should I walk onto, I belong here the land of my forefathers I tried living in your "progressing countries", Scotland to be precise and no thanks I choose Zimbabwe so too my Scottish wife my kids in my profile prove it. If progress is those concrete jungles In the West with zero wildlife, and zero work life balance then may Zimbabwe stay undeveloped. I and many others black and white like it like that We will get there meneer. Glad it's working out for you away from Zim. Ndatenda 👍🇿🇼🇿🇼 BTW this is from someone who hates Zanu Pf. Me
A $100us is a big deal to the trackers. And I think your lottery game is wonderful! What a great way to keep morale up and alive. Professional all around.
Nice guys, customer and guide (staff too I am sure). Plus this guy can shoot which is not always the case when I remember many of safari videos on youtube...
It has never ceased to be an enormous pleasure for me when I find myself priviledged to witness absolute professionals and masters of their trade/art in action. From Professional Big Game Hunter and Guide, to Elite Trackers and Bearers, as well as the Camp Chef, his Staff and Camp Attendants. All, must be of the highhest calibre, they must 'select themselves', as part of an elite team-structure in order to achieve safe, successful, memorable, pleasure-filled, hair-tingling, thrilling hunts. Only the very best remain in business. This team are clearly of that stamp.
Buzz is a fantastic PH Magic It’s hard to keep good moral while hunting in seriously remote places over long periods of time on highly elusive animals. It’s extremely difficult to do. 0:01 Buzz charlton Best I’ve ever seen Wish you were South African 🤷 We need people like You here Our PH’s Seriously need your experience and expertise

Congratulations to Frank on a cat well deserved. You are an inspiration to people of all ages. Strong work Jack! Amazing camera work. It feels as if you captured the true essence of the hunt. We’ll done!
Its an interested doc for sure but way different guided hunt then what goes on in alot of " rugged terrain " in Africa as compared to rugged terrain with 1 guide in north America up down in the mountains with absolutely no guarantee that you'll even see an animal let alone b blessed to take a shot at one. But cheers anyway. Long live hunting and trapping
It was only a pleasure Tahlor! Your grandfather definitely is one of a kind! It was an honour to be part of his life story and certainly a chapter of mine I will never forget!! A. Jack
Fabulous video and beautiful leopard. Frank is an excellent shot and game to the palpably exciting end, what every PH likes “the cats in the tree” . I’m nearly 80 too and this brought back some great and happy times hunting in Zim.
We love Zimbabwe and you made a great Film with multiple of impression captured in this video, great work. Professionals like you inspire me to go ahead with my youtube channel, as I love hunting, wildlife and filming, best wishes from woodwalker wildlife and hunting
Thank you @Woodwalker! A passion for capturing the true essence of the African outdoors is why we do what we do and comments like yours is why we'll continue to do just that! Hopefully one day our paths will meet, but until then keep doing what you love doing brother!! A. Jack
If only our 80 year old president was in this good of mental and physical health but alas our president should be in a senior care facility. Good on you Frank for being so spry!!
@@brucepoole8552Fair point Bruce but if the Brits would have a friendly attitude towards us most zimbos would prefer that relationship but Britain has this headmaster attitude ? I like Southern Africa because there is a racial mix and I appreciate more seeing as I I'm in Scotland but let's treat each other with respect as countries . Britain would otherwise be our main Western ally
Wow. Best African hunting video I’ve ever seen. Congratulations! Buzz sounds exactly like a friend on mine from Zimbabwe. If I ever get back to Africa a hunt with Buzz is on my bucket list.
Thank you so much Bushchook! Really appreciate the feedback and support! Buzz is an excellent PH and host with amazing bush knowledge, which makes the entire experience even more memorable! Hopefully when you do make it back to Africa we'll be there to capture your experience!! A.

@@AfricanJackTV So I gather you put the video together? Great combination of action, scenery, wildlife and “interviews”. I swear if my friend Darren ( now an Aussie) and Buzz were in the same room you wouldn’t know which one was talking unless you could see their lips moving.
We did yes! Thank you sir! Took 3 months to produce this one! A combination of limited resources and raising the bar (as far as we could) in terms of story telling and production value! Your friend Darren must definitely also be quite a character/entertainer! Crazy coincidence I'm sure!!

When you said the bait was a tuskless, do you mean it was an old lion? I would have thought the scent would have put the leopard off. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thank you for the comment Philipp! Very glad you enjoyed it!! Will definitely pass on your message to Frank and hopefully one day we'll be able to capture your adventure!! A. Jack
Are these videos produced for a different purpose than youtube? Or is it just a passion-project from someone who has other income-sources? They are so good, but get no views..
Thank you for your comment Vedma! The majority of our productions are private productions for exclusive clientele. Some of our clients do however allow us to use a version of their production to showcase our work on RU-vid. We do also film and produce for television, amongst a list of other services... A. Jack
Thank you for your feedback Mr Scott! That's exactly what we set out to achieve, that and capturing the essence of what a true Leopard hunting safari in Africa is all about! A. Jack
Hi, Just wondering if you are related to Alex McCallum? My late father, Bob Langeveld, and Alex were very good friends and hunted together throughout Africa.
Not everything hunted & killed is eaten. These are predators that need managed like every game species. The cost helps pay for anti poaching efforts so they are not shot out to be sold on the black market
They have a very high concentration of cats/predators in the area, therefore a low number of plains game... It was an amazing hunt my friend! Thanks for the comment!! A. Jack
What an amazing and inspiring hunt,I’ve decided-after watching this video I’m making it to Africa to hunt.What is the contact info for this Safari please?
Thank you so much for your comment Brian! We are thrilled that the production inspired you to plan your own trip to Africa and look forward to making your adventure a memorable one!! A. Jack Contact us at info@africanjack.com +27 76 042 7676 (WhatsApp)
