In early 1999, I was asked by my wife, what my greatest dream was. I obviously said it was the hunting of a cape buffalo. But said it was to remain a dream as all hunting in Africa was banned.This was obviously a mistaken belief. Two weeks later, after dinner, she put on a video of a cape buffalo and tuskless elephant hunt, and we watched it in silence. The video, along with relevant information had come from a sporting agent based in the UK, and the footage was of a hunt that had taken place a year previous. My wife had been busy researching.

In August 1999, we landed in Harare, Zimbabwe, walked to the domestic terminal, and took a flight into the Zambezi Valley. We were to hunt cape buffalo and a tuskless for seven days in Chewore North. The outfitter was Big Five Safaris.

What a wonderful wife!

Geoff, please tell her I said that.

Also I just read that paragraph to my wife and she said: "Butch Walker!"

Funny I sort of recognised the name (?), but she seems to. It's the same outfitter owned by Butch Walker that we booked a plains game safari in West Nicholson in 1994 as part of our Honeymoon in Zimbabwe.
