anyone have suggestions for guides at either chitabe or duma tau? im going in late aug/sept. also any preferred tents at either of these camps? thx in advance.

At Chitabe I enjoyed Relax as a guide this past August. The end tents of #1 and #8 have the least foot traffic. I was in #1 for the first part of my stay. Then when I extended because of the good wild dog viewing I was put in #5 which was ok too. It was next to the outdoor shower in #5 that a leopard decided to tree its kill.

With a Duma Tau and Chitabe combination at the time of year you're going, you'll have a great trip.

Bigcountry: Cilas at Duma Tau is an exceptional guide. Sees everything and is very skilled at following wild dog hunts, even when they get into the Mopane.

Another vote for Cilas at Duma Tau - he really is fantastic.

One more thought on Duma Tau if Cilas is not available. I met a woman who could not stop talking about Moses at Duma Tau when she was there in August. No first had experience but she was all enthused.

When we were at Duma Tau in Sept., Theba, or Mr. T., as we called him, was our guide. I can't imagine having anyone better.
