Dear Bill,
We had a wonderful time in South Africa. The time we spent with Wing Shooting Africa was really an extraordinary experience and adventure which we all greatly enjoyed and look on as being probably our most memorable of holidays in Africa. The shooting was challenging and varied; the locations were breath-taking; all the people that we met on the farms and the various support staff to Conrad were charming and interesting; the dogs provided never-ending entertainment and were remarkable in their pointing and retrieving skills. Perhapes most outstnding however was the camaraderie provided by Conrad - no mean feat considering how long we were in company with him! For much of the time his approach to life in South Africa in general and his sence of inherent humour kept us in laughter. Conrad contiuously demonstrated exemplary organisational skills, keeping
us alwasy fully engaged from the crack of dawn through to bedtime - always
injecting surprises along the way ... |
