This book is an illustrated collection of short stories and memories of a Zimbabwean Professional Guide who loves what he does! All of the stories are factual accounts, that happened to me, except the one about Alistair Hull, a close colleague. These stories were about incidents that happened to me during the early years of eco-tourism in Zimbabwe, prior to 2000. All of the photographs (except where indicated) were collected by myself at different times during this period, and I have attempted to present them in a sequence similar to the stories.
