In my naive ignorance, before I went on my first safari last year I thought most PH's were pretty
loaded (i.e rich) Stewart Grainger types. I was soon disabused of this idea when I got there. They work bloody hard (up at 4.30 or 5) finishing late. My PH worked his arse off for me, a young guy (28) and as
far as I can see when all the odds and ends are sorted they don't make what they deserve. He is trying to get the deposit together for his first house. Jesus, risking your backside and struggling to get the deposit on your place when you get married ?? I like
the idea of tipping the local staff cash and your PH some equipment better than he has. My chap had a pretty battered Ruger .338 WM. I got him something better which I know he will appreciate.
Just my opinion, rgds, Mike
