 This is a "Real Africa" deep bush remote location as experienced by the 
old big game hunters of years past "a la Hemmingway style" 

Alan and Jessie Bird own and operate Dendro Park exclusive private ranch offering excellent "cape buffalo" hunting safaris, and a range of plains game species. Accommodation includes true bushveld style thatched chalets complemented with lodge bar & outdoor swimming pool

Dendro Park ranch is 3,100 hectare and located 35km from Ngoma bush airstrip in the Kafue National Park. The terrain is easy going and mainly flat with undulating open plains woodland forest bushveld and thickets offering real Africa bushveld walk and stalk hunting at it's very best and does not present any difficulty for those with reasonable fitness levels. All hunting is normally done on foot, but should a client have health or fitness limitations we will adjust the hunt conditions to suit a specific situation, and use safari vehicle transport accordingly

We arrange for our PH guide and outfitter Dene Bird to pick up and return client's to Ngoma bush airstrip after the air charter arrives from Livingstone. Non hunting guests are welcome
