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.
