In Their Own Words - The Importance of the Hunting Safari - From Nyati, a CM Safaris Tracker

As part of filming my Africa Hunting Safari in Zimbabwe earlier this year, I wanted to interview the two trackers, the driver, and others. This is the first of the interviews I'll post. I asked Nyati, one of CM Safaris trackers, what he felt was the importance of the Hunting Safari for him, for his village, for his country, for the animals and for the land. Nyati answers in his words. This is completely unscripted.

Phil, this is an amazing video and articulated so we'll Nyati. I absolutely will share this with people so they get the message from the local side in addition to myself when I discuss the benefits. Thank you for for doing this interview with him
 
Nyati, whose nickname is The Professor, was the perfect person for this interview. I can't wait to read his book.
 
I consider myself beyond lucky to have been able to follow behind Nyati for 8 days.

A gentleman. Good humour. And even better "eyes" for game.

Thank you for posting the video

Hi Dr. Ray, I will be in Cooktown from Oct 16 to Oct 23 fishing Lizard Island Black Marlin Tournament.

I have several "slack" days after fishing before I head for stay in Sydney and Fiji.

Do you have any recommendations for 1 or 2 day hunt near Cooktown?

I've hunted both DG and PG in 4 different countries in Africa.
Thank you,
Bob

Good morning. I see that you had a Sauer 202 for sale for $3,000. Did you sell it at that price?
I have one for sale as well. I listed it (on here ) at $3,000 as well. Is the price high, low or right where it should be?

Thanks. Alex. [redacted] in case you want to call me to discuss further. I appreciate your time help and support.
