I met Toufic my outfitter in Burkina Faso where I went in 2003 and 2004.
Sad news, he has no guides anymore.

Diadama, my PH in 2004, was run down by a truck when riding his motorbike

Issa, my PH in 2003, had his head removed by a passing truck when he was standing on the berm of the main road.

In 2002, another of his PH was killed in a car crash.
They were all good and very competent PHs. I missed them.

BTW, litle risk in the CAR, because tar roads are rarities
