Plan your travel now:
 It is time to plan your 2007 travel to Africa, South America or Australia and New Zealand.
From June to September 2006, I spent an amazing 3 months in Africa, flying friends and clients, while at the same time exploring places for your future safaris!
The highlights of my summer trip, which you might want to consider for your plans, were:
- A flying safari in Uganda, including the best Gorilla trekking I have ever had.
- A visit to the magical Seychelles, my first since my sudden arrival 30 years earlier!
- The Mahale Mountains in western Tanzania, to trek for chimpanzees.
- A walking safari in remote Northern Zambia, and tiger fishing on the Lower Zambezi at Sausage Tree Camp.
- Tranquility in the Okavango Delta, Botswana combined with fantastic game viewing in the North.
- A flying safari along the wild Skeleton Coast in Namibia, followed by nights amongst the sand dunes.
- An exploratory trip for two weeks to the Galapagos Islands and Ecuador completed my privileged year of travel.
If we can help you with travel ideas anywhere in the world, please give us call.
Update from Tim on safari - July 2005:
 I' m in Lake Nakuru park - my birth place! - I havent been here for nearly 12 years. I am with clients from Pelham CT on their Ker & Downey safari, using luxury mobile tented camps. The camp is set in a lovely glade surrounded my massive yellow fever trees now glinting in the evening sun, while curious zebras look on. We had an unseasonable heavy downpour - nearly an inch - last night. It is full moon, so that sometimes brings a change in the weather. We got up before sunrise today and were at the lake edge for it - a truly spiritual experience of fog, flamingoes flying and exploding light as the day burst forth. There are probably 2 million flamingoes on the lake at the moment. I am most impressed with this park, stuffed with all sorts of game; as we watched in the warm morning light, a hyena ran into the lake and took down a poor little baby waterbuck, while Mum loked mournfuly on; she had led it into the lake hoping to escape trouble. Another grabbed a flamingo, scarfing it down, feathers and all. To cap it all, we had an excellent leopard sighting, classically posing in a yellow fever tree.
 Next I fly them to Lake Baringo for a night at Samatian Camp while the camp packs up and hauls itself off to the Mara, where an amazing migration awaits them.
I start my flying safari on Aug 21st with two nights in Mara, one night on Rusinga Island on Lake Victoria, before flying south to Mahale Mountains on LAke Tanganyika to trek chimpanzees.
Yours, Tim

Thank you Tim and Gail. It was a great trip and thanks to our wonderful guides and crew it was safe trip and we were well taken care of. It was an incredible experience that I am so happy to have had and someday would like to do again. The views on the route were so beautiful and the summit climb was definately the most challenging thing I have ever done. Every once in awhile I would look up at the amazing stars and could not believe what I was seeing. I have never seen stars so clearly.
