It’s with sadness that I post the passing of legendary East African Professional Hunter and Safari Operator Danny McCallum. Danny had been suffering from pulmonary disease for some time and passed away peacefully at home in Arusha with his wife, Joanna, by his side.

Danny had been a central figure in Tanzania’s safari industry for many years, along with guiding safaris since earning his full PH license in 1967. He hunted professionally across Kenya, Tanzania, Sudan, CAR, Zaire, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia and Uganda. He was widely respected across the entirety of the professional hunting world and one of the few PH’s remaining from Africa’s Golden Age.

Pumzika kwa Amani, Bwana!
 
My condolences to his wife and family.
 
I received the tragic news a few hours ago. He was famous for his exclusive use of a 1906 made Watson Bros boxlock ejector double rifle chambered in .450 Nitro Express No.2 which was affectionately called “Old Drainpipe”.

Sounds like he was a true legend, one of the old guard. A great loss to our community.
 
Sorry to hear that.
He was one of the old school legends of the Safari world.
 
I always enjoyed my time with the Mzee. Danny was one of the last handful of EAPHA members left. Prayers for his family.

Tuta Onana Tena.
 
Condolences. Wish would have met him…
 
Wow, another one. RIP. Condolences to family, friends, and clients.
 
Condolences to his family and friends.
The impact he had on African Hunting and several great PH’s can’t be measured
