I would have loved to have seen the place around the time that Nyschens wrote "Months of the Sun"...... it must have been a paradise. But I wouldn't like to have been there in the Summer. The latest I've hunted the Zambezi Valley was (some years ago) in late October and I nearly died..... that's not a neat turn of phrase. I found myself one day suddenly suffering from a mixture of heat exhaustion and dehydration and a 2 or three hour walk back to the truck..... not much water and only a tracker for company. I got back eventually but it was the last time I ever waited until I was thirsty before taking a drink..... if you wait until then, you're already getting dehydrated.....add heat exhaustion and running after Buffalo all day in temperatures in the the 40s into the equation and it can get serious very quickly!..... If I'd had a client with me, we would have taken it a lot easier.... but I was alone, and I REALLY wanted that big ol' Buffalo on my wall! |
