Adventure and exploration fueled my mind and once young body to find new and secret places , that few people have seen or experienced . These , 30 years ago were few but , like lost treasures , involved scouting and exploring Southern African Shore lines , rivers , savannas , jungles and deep water spots known only to local and elusive shy fishermen , until pay dirt was hit . Few remain intact , yet they are out there , awaiting the adventurer and explorer with courage and dare to sample their fruits . 19 years as fisherman and big game guide , I have had the God given privilege to sample many astoundingly beautiful shores and southern African countries . Every game fish whether salt or fresh water , is an honor to connect with and land . Most , if not all are returned alive to the water that birthed them , to fight another day . Yet , it's my client friends that share in these amazing adventures & destinations , and that really make each adventure safari a unique experience .
