Just back from the Bubye. John is definitely very much still on top of his game. Our leopard did manage to elude us for fourteen glorious days but certainly not for lack of effort on our part. Leopard we were after just simply smarter than those hunting him, at least this time.

I just wanted to say that John and I discussed the making of his great book and I brought two for him to sign that I had bought from Tarbe two years ago. At this time John seems to be fairly satisfied that his writing days may well be behind him. However, as those of us who have had the pleasure of sharing Safari with John-and Isaac know when a challenge arises John is a friend you can never count out. My guess and hope is that a sequel will follow but probably a few Safaris in the future.
