Comments: We had a great hunt. Adam Clements takes care of the details, from the time they pick you up at the airport to when they return you and walk you through for your trip home, you are in good hands. The camps are clean and well run with first rate accomadations.

This is our 2nd time to hunt with PH Brian Van Blerk (did a 21-day hunt with him in the Selous in 2004)and when I booked with Adam it was under the condition that Brian would be our PH. He is one of the best and my wife and I consider him part of the family.

The Lion was taken on day #2.

Dung beattle – they stand on their front legs and push the ball with their rear legs; about every 18″ they stop and crawl on top and look around to make sure they are headed in the right direction.
