So, after the famous Iqbal Bali, we have another Indian running his own setup on the dark continent, in a corner blessed with game.

Oh Yes, many of us have hunted with Harpreet Brar in Tanzania.
He runs a five star operation and if one has deep pockets, he is one of the better places to go to for trophy buffalo and lion.
A lot of Indians have hunted with him including a very keen film actor.
He is a third generation Kenyan, trained as a commando in the US, and a great guy !!

Harpreet and his brother were introduced to me by Mehul as they were looking for a agent in India. However, it's been quite a few years since we corressponded.
From what I have read he manages his concession very well.

Excellent.
I am planning a trip early next year and from the reviews on a few online forums, i zeroed in on his operation.
Glad to know his reputation reaches indian shores.

If I recall correctly they had visited India whilst I was in touch with them. Think it was Delhi.
If it's an annual affair, then you could meet one or both of them in person.

Thanks for the information skeetshot and mack.
Skeet: what did you shoot with him and what would you reccomend?
Mack: when were they here in delhi? Are they coming here still? Never heard of any such safari convention in India!

I cannot recall the year. Probably 2007/8.
I am assuming he/they come to meet their relatives, etc.
E-mail them and ask them if they are likely to be here again.
Besides Skeetshot, there has been atleast one other member from the Indian skeet squad who has hunted with thm.
