UGANDA: KOS Safaris 2026

This hunt report relates to my recently completed hunt in Uganda with KOS Safaris. Health warning: I do go on, so put away the Ambien and settle in.

My goal for 2026 was to finish the bushbuck species.

Who likes shooting gophers?

While not exactly what you would call dangerous game, gopher shooting can be addictive and a fun afternoon.

Are Sable a Hard Hunt?

by Hemingway, but are they worth the PRICE TAG? Any info is greatly appreciated.

What did you reload today?

Working on some loads for the next trip to Africa in Oct...416 Rem and 22 Hornet with 45 grain X bullets...hope I can handle the wicked little Hornet!
