I am wondering if big-game hunting is still being carried out in Mozambique and Malawi? These were John " Pondoro " Taylor's stamping grounds of yore.

In these areas does the possibility of land-mines or snipers create a more dangerous situation than the game itself? When I go to Africa, this is the area I would be most interested in.

And what of Tete? I can learn very little about this ancient town or how it looks. Brian Marsh (South Africa) revisited there years ago and made a statement saying the area rather looked like a surreal moonscape.

F.C. Selous, supposedly once said, concerning Tete, that the " sanitation department was firmly in control of the pigs that roamed the street."

Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
