Tsetse flies were not too much a problem or so I thought until the 5 days of bites started to all swell at once. On the drive from the Dande Safari Area in the north to the ranch country in the SE of Zimbabwe I could watch the welts grow.
What annoied me more were the mopane flies, they did not bite but are attracted to moisture. Well I spent nearly 20 minutes on the shooting stick waiting for a good buffalo to move and those things were buzzing around my ear with the high pitch buzz. I was sweating up a storm in the bright Zimbabwe sun and they got thick enough to land on my eye classes and scope. You can actually hear the flies on the video.
I am not saying to that bugs are a big problem when hunting but part of the experience.
