“That night we experienced the magic of the African bush sitting around the campfire, the smell of wood smoke, the absence of any human created sound broken only by the distant animal sounds and the complete darkness exhibiting a breath-taking night sky”.

-John Haigh 2014

“I knew the moment we stepped onto Namibian sand this was going to be pure magic. The allure of an African adventure has dominated my being ever since I was a young lad as I had imagined myself stalking the great animals of the dark continent.”
