Lord Derby Eland Price List & Hunt Options CCAARR LLoorrdd DDeerrbbyy EEllaanndd HHuunntt AArrgguuaabbllyy tthhee BBEESSTT hhuunntt iinn AAffrriiccaa!!!!!! Central Africa Republic, commonly known as CAR, is renowned for its massive Eland Bulls. Although the same species are also found in the Cameroon Savannahs, the quality of CAR trophies is beyond compare. CAR without a doubt harvests the best quality. Frequently reaching the magical 50" mark, not forgetting that each individual Eland Bull has its own character, that adds to this spectacular trophy. Regardless of the horns size, the most majestic aspect of these Lord Derby Elands is the character with which the old bulls carry their horns. As Eland mature into predominant bulls they broom down their horns, whiling feed and scraping. This brooming of their horns is one of the priceless characteristics that make a 47-48" Eland one magnificent specimen. Time and Type of Hunt The best time of the year to hunt Eland is from February through mid April. During this period, no specific month is any better than the other. Although hunting Eland is physically demanding because of the long time spent tracking them, our good road networks help to reduce this time. We use 4 WD Toyota Land cruiser. These vehicles work extremely well in the Savannah terrain, again mitigating the physical demand of the hunt. The most impressive aspect of this hunt is the first time you actually spot that massive mature bull. No one would ever guess an Eland could get to be that size. Although this hunt is demanding at times, it is very rewarding once the trophy is on the ground. This Lord Derby Eland Hunt, is arguably the best hunt in Africa. Available Species Obviously the Lord Derby Eland, is the primary species, but together with this you can combine exceptional trophies like Giant Forest Hog and Yellow Back duiker, which are plentiful. Roan, Central African Savannah Buffalo, Harnessed Bushbuck, Red River Hog, Forest Sitatunga, Lewels Hartebeest, and smaller species like Red Flanked Duiker, Western Duiker, Wayne's Duiker, Oribi, Warthog, etc. Area In CAR, our hunting block is called Yassa, which is Block 39. It is surrounded by rivers and streams. The area is situated in the South Central part of Central Africa Republic. It is over 500,000 acres of prime Gardenia and Terminalia forest, which is perfect habitat for Giant Eland. The Eland movement in this area is abundant and very conducive to securing a great trophy. This area is one of the safest in CAR, in terms of Sudanese elephant poachers, which have been prominent in the North and Central part of CAR. Also this area is no threat from the cattle that have been moving in from Chad. Professional Hunters Dave Rademeyer and Thierry Labat are the professional hunters in CAR. Together they have more than 7 years experience hunting in the area. Throughout this time they have had a very high success rate on trophies all around, taking numerous bulls over 50". All of our Professional Hunters have the experience, knowledge, and skills to make your hunt a success. Arrival/Departure When hunting in CAR, the client arrives and departs from Bangui, the capital. The mostly popular Carrier is Air France with direct flights into Bangui, arriving early Thursday morning. These flights depart Paris, Wednesday at 10:30pm. There they will be greeted by a company representative, and assisted through customs. A visa is required to enter the country! Upon the completion of the hunt, the hunter will be again chartered back to Bangui on the second Thursday after arrival. That evening they connect again to Paris with Air France. ***This is the schedule Air France has had for the last year/ season, however, please be aware of any changes of schedule. If any changes are made, we will advise you of them. However, arrival and departure will still work the same way, just a different day of the week, instead of Thursday, depending on the flight schedule. Camps On the day that you arrive, it’s a 1 hr 45 min charter to the hunting area; round trip is included in hunt price. All camps are very comfortable and meals and beverages are first class. We continually work to develop a high level of comfort for our clients, so they can enjoy all aspects of the hunt. We believe that this is a very important part of the hunt, especially in CAR, where after a long day's walk and hunt, a comfortable camp helps you enjoy your time, and gets you prepared for the following day. Useful Info Yellow fever vaccinations are required. We also strongly encourage that you take malaria prophylactics. ***** Once the safari is booked, more extensive and detailed information will be given concerning all aspects of the hunt. Our trained and educated staff have been on these hunts before and will be there to assist you through the entire booking, pre safari, and post safari period. We will be there to answer any additional questions you may have .

Box 37012, Washington, D.C. 20560–0705, U.S.A. ‡Institut de Recherche en Ecologie Tropicale, B.P. 180, Makokou, Gabon Abstract: Road expansion and associated increases in hunting pressure are a rapidly growing threat to African tropical wildlife. In the rainforests of southern Gabon, we compared abundances of larger (>1kg) mammal species at varying distances from forest roads and between hunted and unhunted treatments (com- paring a 130-km2 oil concession that was almost entirely protected from hunting with nearby areas outside the concession that had moderate hunting pressure). At each of 12 study sites that were evenly divided between hunted and unhunted areas, we established standardized 1-km transects at five distances (50, 300, 600, 900, and 1200 m) from an unpaved road, and then repeatedly surveyed mammals during the 2004 dry and wet seasons. Hunting had the greatest impact on duikers (Cephalophus spp.), forest buffalo (Syncerus caffer nanus), and red river hogs (Potamochoerus porcus), which declined in abundance outside the oil concession, and lesser effects on lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) and carnivores. Roads depressed abundances of duikers, si- tatungas (Tragelaphus spekei gratus), and forest elephants (Loxondonta africana cyclotis), with avoidance of roads being stronger outside than inside the concession.

  • A Scoping Review of Viral Diseases in African Ungulates
    veterinary sciences Review A Scoping Review of Viral Diseases in African Ungulates Hendrik Swanepoel 1,2, Jan Crafford 1 and Melvyn Quan 1,* 1 Vectors and Vector-Borne Diseases Research Programme, Department of Veterinary Tropical Disease, Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Pretoria, Pretoria 0110, South Africa; [email protected] (H.S.); [email protected] (J.C.) 2 Department of Biomedical Sciences, Institute of Tropical Medicine, 2000 Antwerp, Belgium * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +27-12-529-8142 Abstract: (1) Background: Viral diseases are important as they can cause significant clinical disease in both wild and domestic animals, as well as in humans. They also make up a large proportion of emerging infectious diseases. (2) Methods: A scoping review of peer-reviewed publications was performed and based on the guidelines set out in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) extension for scoping reviews. (3) Results: The final set of publications consisted of 145 publications. Thirty-two viruses were identified in the publications and 50 African ungulates were reported/diagnosed with viral infections. Eighteen countries had viruses diagnosed in wild ungulates reported in the literature. (4) Conclusions: A comprehensive review identified several areas where little information was available and recommendations were made. It is recommended that governments and research institutions offer more funding to investigate and report viral diseases of greater clinical and zoonotic significance. A further recommendation is for appropriate One Health approaches to be adopted for investigating, controlling, managing and preventing diseases. Diseases which may threaten the conservation of certain wildlife species also require focused attention.

  • Common Eland
    Tragelaphus oryx – Common Eland recognised, though their validity has been in dispute (Thouless 2013): Tragelaphus o. livingstonii (Sclater 1864; Livingstone's Eland): also called kaufmanni, niediecki, selousi and triangularis. It is found in the Central Zambezian Miombo woodlands i.e. south- central Africa (Angola, Zambia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Malawi). Livingstone's Eland has a brown pelt with up to twelve stripes. Tragelaphus o. oryx (Pallas 1766; Cape Eland): also called alces, barbatus, canna and oreas. This subspecies is found south of the Zambezi river (South Africa, Botswana and Namibia). The fur is tawny, and adults lose their stripes. Regional Red List status (2016) Least Concern Tragelaphus o. pattersonianus (Lydekker 1906; East National Red List status (2004) Least Concern African Eland or Patterson's Eland): also called Reasons for change No change billingae. It is found in east Africa extending into the Somali arid areas, hence its common name. Its coat Global Red List status (2008) Least concern can have up to 12 stripes. TOPS listing (NEMBA) None Tragelaphus o. oryx occurs throughout the larger part of South Africa, but the far northern Limpopo Province CITES listing None bordering Zimbabwe is regarded as a transitional zone Endemic No between T. o. oryx and T. o. livingstonii or an area where they overlap.
