Wanted to give a public thanks to Steve at Travel With Guns. So he books my flight to Namibia over 3 months ago, Midland-Dallas-Atlanta-JBurg. I get an automated call from American Airlines last night at 8:45pm telling me my midland to Dallas flight for 8am tomorrow morning had been canceled, and to call the automated number they gave me to reschedule. I try the number, the machine promptly tells me they are experiencing a high volume of calls and to try again later. By now I've got a rather helpless feeling coming over me, and the wheels start turning. Maybe 10 minutes later I get a phone call from Steve Turner, telling me I'm already booked and confirmed on the only flight available that won't totally screw up the rest of my schedule. He tells me to show up and get on the plane, done deal.
IMHO, this is but one valuable reason to enlist the services of Travel With Guns, or Kathi at Wild Travel. Steve saved the day for me.......Thank you Steve.
BTW, the people checking my rifle never asked about the ITN# (which I have), and I didn't offer. Bags and rifle were checked all the way through to J'burg
In this Dayana age of increasing horrid customer service, I thought a public attaboy was appropriate.

Steve worked miracles for me when a two-country 21 day trip went haywire in Tanzania. So did Ray Atkinson.

We did a family trip involving photo safaris and hunting in Zimbabwe, Botswana and South Africa that Steve arranged. I was flying from Kazakhstan to Jo'Burg, wife and three sons from Texas. Eldest son found a hotty in Dubai and caused all to miss their flight. Steve had it well sorted in short order. A miracle, frankly.
Conduct is the best proof of character.

My son and I used Steve, when we went to Zim., in 2011. Everything went perfect, beginning to end. Would not hesitate to use Steve and his crew, anytime.

As I sit here in room 10 at Africa Sky, I revel in the "you suck" accolades between bottles of Castle Light (you boys gotta admit....that hurt didn't it?). Africa Sky is an awesome place, great service since I stepped off the plane....great room, fantastic supper of beef filet, now some suds.

Steve is indeed great. Booked our flights last July to Namibia and did us a good deal with avoiding places we didn't need to be along the way and working to fly my son out of Chile to meet us in Africa. Eldest son found a hotty in Dubai and caused all to miss their flight. I'm pretty sure I saw her when I was in Dubai and don't blame him one little bit. BTW, you suck.
