Spring,

I enjoyed looking at your Zimbabwe 2003 photos. My wife and I spent a month there on our first safari in June of 2001 and hunted buffalo in Dande North and plains game in an area outside of KweKwe. I then returned in November of 2003 on a cancellation lion hunt in the Makuti area and though my PH and I were intentionally deceived by the concession owner and we only saw two females and a young, two or three year old male, it was a fantastic trip and I had the opportunity to get an elephant and the camera man that joined me shot a nice dugga boy. I simply love Zimbabwe and the people I have hunted with there and am extremely disappointed and frustrated that Mugabe is driving his country right into the ground! Thus, like you, our next safari in 2006 will be to Tanzania. Have you decided who you will be hunting with in Tanzania?

So, you must have a Beretta model 455 - nice looking double! I am looking forward to using my Krieghoff .470 NE on my next safari and wish I had had it for the elephant, that would have been fantastic!

All the best,
Alaskan PH
