I am publicly announcing that that my company has accepted Martin Pieter's request to act as USA agent for his company forthwith! We are offering Matetsi Block 5 hunts starting at $700 a day. This is in my opinion western Zimbabwe's FINEST hunting area. I do have some quota left for 2019 including a leopard and a few buffalo plus abundant PG quota including some fine sable! As some of you know I am also partnered with Wayne at Chete Safari Area where we are close to 100% booked for 2019 and this new partnership with Martin gives us options that few other hunting companies in Zim can offer. I will be doing logistics and social media for Martin and will be working with his clients covering bookings, travel and trip details from right here in the USA! We are experts at getting you there from your door and back again with as little expense and hassle as possible! Available PHs are Martin Pieters, Chap Esterhuizen or Dalton Tink. This addition to the Safari Connection gives us some of the best hunting Africa has to offer when it comes to Zimbabwe and Namibia!! PM me for a 2019 price list and quota available in these fine areas!!

Well.....it seemed like you were starting out strong..........

We must give them credit for getting Chete back on its feet - I hope.

And he might not be aware of Martin's past performance either.

Just a head up so he is aware, and does not get in trouble because of Martin.

I'm glad it wasn't just me thinking when this first popped up.

Here's to hoping a good effort doesn't get derailed.

I intend to set up Martin with a dunking tank at DSC so all can come take a shot!! Just remember when you book a hunt through me that I stand 100% behind the hunt and I live here! Martin has 100's of successful hunts many listed here what did happen was growing too much too quickly and my company is prepared to make the logistics as good as the hunts and areas. We will address ANY future issues immediately and with respect to every customer. You have my word on it..Sean

I grew up quickly as so did many other operators and PH's in Africa. We do not offer an excuse because we don't need to.

Very commendable Sean.

Many clients hunting Africa have been screwed by operators in America.

And wheeling and dealing, and making useless excuses, have nothing to do with growing too much too quickly.

Hopefully Martin gets the idea that you are not going to stand for any stupid bullshit, and acts accordingly in dealing with you.

I hunted with Martin 6-7 years ago in his Omay north concession and I have ZERO complaints. That said, I would not use him to book a hunt outside of Zim. Then again, I would also never book a hunt anywhere in Africa that was in another country outside an outfitter’s home country. Go with a local outfitter, not an outsider.

Excellent point, Jerry.
