"The gladdest moment in human life is the departure upon a distant journey into unknown lands"
Sir Richard Francis Burton

Hi James, Just a quick note to say thank you for the fabulous time we had with you. To walk within 15 feet of a totally relaxed leopard and to follow it for 5 minutes or so is something that will be indelibly printed in my mind. Then to catch a tigerfish of 5/6 kg just by the camp, things just got better and better. What a nice crew you have and they all do you proud, even in 40plus degrees of heat. We had a great time at Mwambashi. We saw 3 Leopards, 3 Lions, numerous plainsgame, caught 40 tigerfish approx and 2 Vundu weighing 55lbs and 60lbs. It was sad to leave, but Zambia has produced the best game viewing that I have ever seen and I have seen quite alot.

James and Tim:
We want to thank you for the fabulous time we had with you.  It was truly an unbelievable experience, probably one of the strongest in our lives.
We lived four days inside real Africa getting in touch with nature and animals like never before. In that situation we experienced the magic of feeling the strength of nature and how weak we can be in front of it. At the same time we had all the comfort and the protection we desired. The best memory we have, and we'll always carry with us, is about an afternoon tour inside the camp of a young elephant: he came so close to us, and it was so exciting that now we can't explain it with some words.
Moreover we were the lucky actors of the “movie” you produced with “mythical” Geoff, the director, that added something special to our adventure.
Thanks a lot, we will never forget the time spent with you and we suggest everyone who wants to try a real safari not to miss this one.
