Does anyone know what CB will be doing next now that he has left Tracks Across Africa?

To be honest, I think just slowing down.

You can follow Craig Boddington on Facebook. He seems to be in a different country almost every week.

Do you have to actually join facebook to follow someone?

I got the impression talking to him at SCI that he is slowing down a little bit but still keeping damned busy.

BTW what a gracious classy guy he is. Not only did he remember meeting me a couple of years ago but was genuinely interested in the book I brought for him to sign. It was a 1st edition of From Mt. Kenya to the Cape and he was surprised to see it. He wanted to know where I got it and was happy that I found a copy.

Craig was the one that gave me the go ahead call on my 1st choice of outfitter/ph to use in Namibia, his old friend Joof Lamprecht.
He was spot on.
The next yr. I saw him walking briskly across the floor at the DSC Conv. with his head down.
I thought that strange until I realized just how in demand this gentleman is.
He can't go to the bathroom at one of these places without someone trying to stop him to talk with him, he's got seminars to be at & commercials to cut & who knows what else.
I don't blame him for slowing down a bit.
It makes me tired just talking about all that he does.
Thanks Craig!

A real gentleman!!

I've never envied anybody, but I do admire Craig Boddington. He has about done it all. And with style...

Whatever he does I will gladly watch and learn from. If he decides to just slow down, that is completely understandable. But, for selfish reasons, I hope he continues to write and film!

I have had the pleasure of speaking with him at DSC and NRA on several occasions and he is always prepared to take time and share his knowledge.

Ditto on the Lamprecht's. Such a magnificent enterprise. I see Marina who charms one into oblivion with high European wining and dining in a magnificent lodge (only one party at a time), her full attention devoted to the current guest. Joofie, the son, has learned much from his father Joof and has matured into a tough, knowledgeable PH capable of anything. Simply a stunning operation. I've not yet been to anyone that tops it for classical luxury and great game opportunities throughout Namibia.

Craig will have a new program on the Sportsmans Channel in July. He is also on Guns and Ammo tv and Petersons's Hunting program. Doesn't look like he is slowing down much to me.

Just had the pleasure of spending some time with Craig and Donna at Harrisburg, and he shows no signs of slowing down. If anything, he will be busier in the future. They both are very nice people, and very grounded.

Definitely nice people.

I met them at a Gun Shop in PA. Prior to this we had been talking on facebook, discussed a few things, etc. When I met them at the gun shop it was like meeting up with old friends. We talked for a while, discussed this and that, he signed some books, we took pictures of each other, and we just had a good time. I had hoped to see him at the Harrisburg show, but as usual, work got in the way of having fun. One thing he will do on his web site is that, if you contact him, he will answer your questions and even put them in his newsletter. Both he and Donna are nice people and I hope to meet up with them again.

Outstanding! Thanks for letting us know, I look forward to seeing his new show.

100% the case. I have been fortunate enough to converse with him a few times via email and he is very helpful with not an ounce of ego rearing its ugly head. This is a true rarity in men of Craig's profile and I admire his actions and character a great deal.

Anyone know why Craig B is no longer with TAA? I have heard some things about this subject, but don't put much faith on hearsay, especially on AR.

Glad to hear he is moving on to different venues and projects. I know they will be good no matter what the direction. Keep up the good work CB.

(Of course I pay...)

When I went to Cameroon in 2004, he sat across the aisle from me on the plane ride from Cameroon to Paris. He began talking to me and I found him an extremely intelligent and enjoyable person to meet and talk to. I had just made CPO in the Navy and he was being screened for Brig. Gen in the Marine Corps Reserve. He was very graciuos in congratulating me for making CPO. That's something fairly uncommon for someone being considered for Flag Rank.

He was especially interested in the fact that I had made the trip to Cameroon while on leave from duty. I'd love to share a campfire with him some day.

Larry,
A thread here and confirmed by the guys that film the series said it was "time to move on" which usually means it was a money issue.

Good to hear he will be back on the tele soon

Cb just posted this on Facebook.

"I am on my way from Croatia... what a great hunt. I got everything I went for BTW I'll be in KCI @ the EXPO see you there Sat & Sun"

Glad to hear is out and about after the heart incident.

I hope he does a show on Croatia.

My wife and I met him in Argentina, he was doing hunts for his book about hunting in Argentina, a nice friendly unpretentous man, an honor to meet indeed. He has the class so many lack. Dande Jack
