Roy Vincent and Alan Vincent. I started hunting with Roy in 1982. Alan was a little kid. I have a photo of him sitting on my first elephant. I have hunted with Roy many times until he retired. We hunt together now guided by Alan. And neither of us waste any time telling Alan what we expect of him  When my daughter was a few months old, she wouldn't leave Alan alone. Now Alan has his own son a year old, and he won't leave me alone! Talk about finding the proverbial gold mine of hunting | |||

While I've been extremely pleased with the PH I've had on my four safaris (Jan du Plessis of Sebra Hunting Safaris), the person who has gone "above and beyond what was expected" is his wife, Mariesje. After my first safari in 2012, she asked me what type of foods I preferred. When I mentioned "steak fajitas" she was unfamiliar with the term. When I described them, she said... "Oh we call them flatbreads". She then had Jan stir fry some gemsbok filets, and the only thing missing was sour cream. When I went back in May of this year, we had gemsbok fajitas complete with sour cream and chives! When she asked what I liked for deserts, I mentioned three things: apple strudel from the Bakkerie in Outjo, a pastry called "Pigs Ears" from the Bakkerie, and crepes served with sliced bananas, strawberries, chocolate sauce and whipped cream. The next few meals we had, that's exactly what we had for dessert. Each time I've gone back to hunt with Sebra, Mariesje has outdone herself in creating gourmet meals. Knowing that I've been dieting the past couple of years, Mariesje stocked up on Diet Fanta, which is difficult to find anywhere in Namibia. I could go on and on raving about her, but you probably get the idea by now. Jesus saves, but Moses invests | |||

Africa Sky Safaris. Limpopo. Marius Sr. and Jr. Kruger. -Everything is done to the best of their ability. -Camp and Staff, vehicles and acomadations/dining is always the best. -Excellent country. Vast property. -Always lots of fun and always safe. ( They are both doctors.) -Completly trust worthy. They always give a little extra, not a lttle less. (See buff hunting story "Abrahams Grin" on AR or in African Hunting Gazettee.) Marius Sr. and his wife Lanna came to stay and travel with us in Canada for a month. My Grandson will hunt there in 2018. ( Marius calls him "Mr Jaxon" in a heavy Afrikaans accent. Jaxon thinks he is a pretty cool dude.) IHMSA BC Provincial Champion and Perfect 40 Score, Unlimited Category, AAA Class. | |||

Corris Ferreira Track-A-Hunt Safaris. Shot a buff the second day. He worked way harder the rest of the trip demonstrating African hospitality than he did finding the bulls. Elephant stalking for photos (he loves elephant hunting), bass fishing, tiger fishing, showing us native African village life, drinking beers at the edge of Kariba just to watch the sunset, etc. Each meal was 5 star quality. Camp was solar powered so there was no generator noise. He has his own road grader so drive from camp to hunt was quick on good roads. When we drove roads villagers would stop him to chat and were genuinely glad to see him. We stopped at a roadside vender and Corris bought some pottery. He whispered to us not to buy anything because the guy's goods were not up to speed but Corris was encouraging him to improve. He really invested in his Campfire Area. | |||

Not a PH but my lead tracker on my self guided foot safari in Cameroon. When Air France lost all my luggage, in 1 bag was a pair of flip flops. Luckily I wore my hunting boots on the plane. After walking about 8 miles into the bush to set up camp, we then walked another 7-8 miles a day in mountainous terrain. My head tracker was named Remy and he spoke limited English. He hunted in boots but when we got back to camp, he changed to his flip flops the first hunting day. I took off my boots and attempted to walk around camp barefooted but the thorns and rocks were killing me. He absolutely insisted I take his flip flops and wear them each evening. I tried to decline but he pointed out his feet were tougher than mine and he would be offended if I didn't wear his size 12 flops on my size 9 foot. It was one of the very few luxuries on a very tough hunt and when a guy gives a stranger the shoes off his feet, it really means something.... Vote Trump- Putin’s best friend… | |||
