On Monday, we will be on our way to the Chirisa Safari Area in Zim, with HHK Safaris and PH Terry Fenn. I am really excited as this will be my first dangerous game (buffalo) hunt. My husband will be looking for bull elephant. Our good friend Buddy will be going with us for sable/waterbuck. Buddy retired as the ASAC with DEA and has had a bad run of luck with returning to Africa. Buddy went with us in 1996 and always wanted to return. He was scheduled to go with us in 2003 and a month before we were to leave he blew out his back and could not go. He rescheduled to go with us in 2005 and suffered a heart attack that required surgery. Now he is ready to go and I pray he has the hunt of his life. I obtained a bgan/inmarsat that hopefully will allow me to receive and send e-mails from Chirisa. I will keep you posted on any significant events from out there. Wish me luck,I think I am going to need it. Any last minute advice? Kathi kathi@wildtravel.net 708-425-3552 "The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page." | ||

Have a great trip Kathi and good luck on your buffalo and your husbands elephant. Sounds like things should work out for Buddy this time. After all he's been through, he deserves a great safari! "There are worse memorials to a life well-lived than a pair of elephant tusks." Robert Ruark | |||

Kathi, Have a great hunt. Terry Fenn is a very nice fellow and loves to hunt elephants. Please tell him I said hello - if he doesn't recall who the heck I am remind him I met him in Omay with Buzz. I think he liked my rifle better than me though! JPK Free 500grains | |||

Best of luck and God speed, Kathi! I am sure you will have a great hunt and adventure. All the best. On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

Hey Guys, You already know how we feel about your hunt. We have had the pleasure of hunting with Rick & Kathi Klimes on our last two trips to Zimbabwe in 2003 and 2005. They are great friends and we are sorry that we were unable to accompany them on this trip. They know our hearts are with them. Good luck and we anxiously await any news of Kathi's big buff or Rick's tusker on the ground. Good Luck! Mike & Linda | |||
