The bottom line is that the PH is looking after you but don't take it to heart. You are responsible for your own safety and your own actions in the long run, like taking enough cartridges, and using enough gun.

It is fun to be on the learning curve on several safaris but eventually, especially when you get old, and the slowest guy off the starting blocks when charged, you better being using enough gun and be able to fend for yourself.

All the folks that got hurt or killed by buffalo this year proves the point.
