After a long deliberation, and many price comparisons I chose Tootabi as my outfitter. What an excellent choice. tootabi.com
I took amazing animals and had the time of my life. Loodt Buchner and his family, made me one of the family.
My PH Lammie and hos tracker Atti were out of this world. I could not have ever hoped for a better PH or a better guy

amazing countryside and beautiful weather!

This is really what my trip was all about. lammie and the entire Buchner family. I had such a wonderful time and they were such wonderful hosts. Always accommodating every need. tootabi.com

Lammies hunting skills are unsurpassed and I learned much from him, weather in the field or around the fire over a brandy telling stories..... there are far too many memories to list here, but this is a good start.

I will be back soon Buchner family, stock up the bar!!!
Sincerely,
