Are they worth the $$ and how can I get in touch with them.

Thanks]

Have you tried an internet search?

Yes, I got lots of hits on cars, computers etc. Is there an extension to the search that would help me?

You could try Air2000. I used Optima last summer and was not impressed, but it has been reported here that they have sorted out their problems. I could not say.

Thank you.

I'll add a voice in favor of Optima. I used them in November/December 2005 and was very, very pleased.

Shawn at Gracy had told me upon inquiry that although Optima had been having some troubles, they had them sorted out now. Looks to be the case; having their assistance was really great.

My post with Air2000's link was not to undercut Optima, but because Air2000's link came up on a web search and Optima's did not. I'm glad to hear that it appears they have sorted out their issues.

What did they charge you???
Did you book a hunt with Donza?

I understand Optima has worked out the kinks but Air2000 as Charles suggested is a very good outfit and we have been very happy with their service.

Hey Tony!

Optima charged me a whopping big $60US ! And that included dealing with me four times ... twice going and twice coming back.

And the rep for my outgoing trips was a very attractive, personable, able girl. On the returning trip, a guy met me (twice) and was also very good.

They somewhat rely on tips, so they do have some incentive (they make half of the fee, plus tips).

Over and above the call, and quite knowledgable about the 'back corridors' of the airport ... well worth the bucks!

Oh, and nah, I talked to Donza about the logistics of a hunt and was ready to do it, but they're totally out of quota for all dangerous game in all concessions for 06 ... ain't that a pi**er ! If they had anything I want besides nyala I would have gone ahead and booked plains game, but didn't. Say, do you want to release a buff and leopard for me from your hunt???

BTW, don't forget to book an eland for Msaise ... best I've seen.

Count me as another satisfied Air2000 customer. I will be using them again in a few months.
