Luke Samaras is an outfitter that is being recommened for a hunt that I am planning by a booking agent. Does anyone here have any experience with him? It will be mainly for a dg hunt in the Selous. Any info would be appr.
Same questions goes for Jamy Traut.
Thanks,
Bob

mufasaWithout a doubt, Samaras is one of the most experienced PHS in the Selous. There are books and videos about him. MUFASA

Karl SHi bob
If you mean Jamie Traute from Namibia, he is a solid PH. He runs Eden, one of the best PG (limited DG) venues in Namibia. They also have a Bushmanland conseccion/ conservancy, mainly for elephnat and cats, but timing is everything for the elephant. He will advise you of the best times for his area. You will not make a mistake with him.

Terry BlauwkampI know one of Luke's PH's named Piet Fourie very well. I hunt with Piet each year in RSA before he goes up to Tanzania for Luke. Piet will be in Reno, so stop and see him.
Remember, forgivness is easier to get than permission.

MacD37You could look a long time without finding a better DG PH than Luke Samaras!

I'd say he's been hunting in Africa considerably longer than 30 yrs! Luke was around in the 60s, and a well known Elephant hunter, even then!

bob-mtThanks for all the responses. After doing another search(I must of typed it wrong the first time) I came up with lots of info. all good. Went ahead and told Keith Atcheson to book me for 2009 for a 30 day full bag with Luke. I am sure I will have lots of questions for you. Thanks again.
Thanks,
Bob

ledvmI have a good friend (Nigel Theisen) who is a PH for Luke. If he were not a good fellow, Nigel would not work for him. Don't know Luke personally but Nigel is a first rate guy. I can ask Nigel about Traut if you like.
