    NAMIBIA: Trip Report With ZANA BOTES SAFARI

    Yes I was June 4-12. Cold mornings in the Bakki Anna would crawl up in my lap until the sun warmed up. My final payment included a tip for Anna so she could get a proper coat. I received this photo the other day.

    Sick on Safari

    Remedy I heard from an old New Englander. Light a candle on a stand at the foot of the bed, drink your favorite adult beverage until you see two candles, blow them both out and you will feel better in the morning.

    Anyone had a ph tell you to shoot the wrong animal or wrong shot?

    Yes, picked out a Blue Wildebeest bull in a small herd. They moved left to right through some cover. Animal stopped with an excellent broadside shot at 175 yards. PH and tracker both agreed it was the bull. Single shot on target, found one speck of blood then a mature cow piled up under a bush...
