BOTSWANA: Has Anyone Hunted With Tholo Safaris?

I have a hunt booked with them in May of this year. A great friend of mine advised me that "it seems as if there is game behind every bush and the entire crew there is tops". I trust his opinion over any others since he is a freelance PH and regularly hunts with multiple top quality outfits all across southern and eastern Africa. I'll come back here and let everyone know how it goes.
 
Sorry for just getting back to everyone. Thanks for the advice. I tried calling Tholo yesterday but didn't have any success. I will try again today. Like I stated, I've never been to African so I don't know what to expect but I'm thinking of taking my wife and at that time 3 year old son with me. Would you fellas feel comfortable taking your family to Africa?
 
DTOdd, I would not bring a 3 year old child on a safari to Botsw/Tanz/Zim/Zambia/Moz maybe on a more civilised place like RSA it can work.. :)
 
Take your wife and enjoy. I do not think that taking the child to Africa is or would be a problem. However it is my humble opinion that a safari is no place for a 3 year old. At the very least you need to clear it with the management.

You're probably thinking that this will be your one and only trip. Trust me. It's not. That's exactly what I thought when I started. My fourth trip is booked and I'm already planning my fifth.

Take him back in a few years after he knows his way around a rifle. You will both get more out of it.

email jason directly mate bridgeradventures@gmail.com you drive direct to Tholo from Maun and it is safe, Botswana is the safest country in Africa I believe
 
Thanks for the advice. The only reason I was thinking about taking my son and wife is bc I cant find anyone else to go with me on the hunt. Most of my friends arent into African hunting. My wife wouldn't leave our son behind to go with me so i guess it will be just me if I cant find a friend to come along.

Does anyone have pictures of recent hunts that took place at Tholo? I visited their website but didn't see a lot of the facility pictures.

Is this rifle sold? If not what is the weight of it and do you know if there is enough difference in diameter between the 35W and the 9.3 to allow for a rebore to a 9.3x62 which is what I am after?
Thanks,
Gary (Just down the road in Springfield)

Forgive me if this is the incorrect area, I signed up to this forum just now because I wanted to be on the list to purchase a copy of your autobiography. Please feel free to pass my information along to whomever is selling. Thank you so much. I look forward to it!
I like the Tillie in my picture. They are supposed to fit loose (2 fingers inside hat band), have mesh for cooling, and hold their shape after washing.
