The death of Dudley has been a shock to the lot of us who knew him.
During his battle with melanoma, I was kept in the loop as to his condition via whatsap. Initially, by Dudley, then when his illness became more grave, his youngest daughter assumed the task. He was laid to rest today, Tue the 29th, in West Nicholson Zimbabwe.
As an aside: My first African safari was with Tshabezi Safaris and Dudley was my P/H. The year was 1988. Last year, 2017 was my twenty-third hunt with Dudley. During this time frame, with Dudley's guidance, I was fortunate enough to shoot twenty elephant.
We became quite good friends thru these years. I shall miss his stories, his expertise, his humour, and mostly his friendship. Sala gahle, gamina wetu.
