I will tell you something.

Martin has rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, and he had a lot of chances to correct them.

He did not.

Because of that, I would avoid him at any cost.

Frankly, I will have absolutely nothing to do with anything Martin is involved in.

Sean has done a great job trying to get Chete back on track, but I think he is making a mistake taking on Martin as some sort of partner in the hunting business.

I know a number of people who would avoid dealing with any company in which Martin is part of.

Too many Great outfitters in Zim to hunt with rather than taking a chance with MPS, IMO.

I spent 65 days plus a little holiday time at the Namibian Coast and I come by my information first hand and know the people involved. What I don't do is sit at my computer thousands of miles away and judge people I leave that to fellows of your type. I don't have time to do any more than I am doing and even if I did I wouldnt spend it criticizing from the sidelines. Have a nice day SEAN


Talk about ego getting in the way ... you're not doing yourself any favors.

I don't spend a lot of time in Africa as I'm only going on my fifth safaris since 2008 this year (one with MPS). And maybe I don't know much about Africa but I do know that I get to decide who I spend my safari money with.

Taking on MPS as a partner is like accepting the job as Captain of the Titanic. Sean’s efforts to make it right are admirable, but like rearranging the deck furniture on the Titanic as it was sinking.

Reminds me of a famous American outfitter, who did not pay his PHs for months, while he has been paid well in advance!

This is the lowest of the low, getting paid and not paying your employees!

Reminds me of a famous American outfitter I kicked out of my camp because he was persistently rude to the staff.

Hello to all involved in this enormous thread my name is Sean Scott and I am stepping in to improve overall customer relations and communication with Martin Pieters Safaris (from now on referred to as MPS). Some of you may know of my efforts at Jimba with Wayne to promote and develop Chete Safari Area and the challenges faced with Jimba. I AM GOING TO CLOSE this thread! First Martin apologizes to the entire community for letting this and other issues go on he understand his errors and want to rectify any ongoing problems. In the macho world of being a Zim PH communication and disputes with the clientele can be hard for them to manage and or admit to when they come from a world full of jackals and hyenas (along with some pretty bad animals at work as well) but in Martins case time and hindsight have shown him that the only way to survive in a world run by social media and instant communications is to deal with problems head on no matter how painful it may be to the pocket book or ego. So he we go.

I would invite ANY previous client that has any issue with MPS to contact me directly. I cannot turn back time undoing the past but I can show that we are willing to openly address the situation or issues and that we are willingly committed to doing WHATEVER it takes short of Martin committing Hari-kari/Sepuku to rectify these open problems and to demonstrate to the hunting community that we are capable of running an upfront operation at Matetsi Block 5 and our other great hunting areas.


Uh, YOU are going to close this thread?


i declare it open back lol ...


lol

No it was not Cotton Gordon.

It was someone who was operating more recently.
