Fly fishing in the Highlands Meander, in the cold winter months, returning to a cozy lit fireplace was an absolute delight.
The most memorable experiences however, will always remain the bush trips with the mastermind himself, Jordan. His passion, knowledge and love for the African bush makes for an unforgettable experience. Big 5, birds, nocturnal life, reptiles, no animal is deemed less worthy during such trips.
Thank you for the effort and love put into my trips, can’t wait for more!
