AFRICA! What a great place. I feel lucky to have experienced it with Cornie and Elaine. They shared with me both their love for Africa and their knowledge of the wildlife that roams here. Cornie took the time to try and show me what Africa is truly about. Their area is rich with wildlife and the quality of animals was exceptional.
I came as a client , but left with 2 new friends and hope to have the chance to return and experience more of Africa with them

Jak przyjechałem do domu Elaine I Cortiego, to juź nazajutrz poczułem wspaniałą Hemingwayowską atmosferę. To właśnie ta atmosfera, która zbudowała w mojej głowie setki symboli, inspiruje mnie do ciągłych powrotów do Afryki. Ich dom jest prawdziwym domen Afrykanerów. Nie ma tu krów, baranów, kóz czy osłów, nie ma takźe brzydkiego zapachu po zwierzętach. Dom otacza busz, piękny afrykański krajobraz i dzikie zwierzęta w nim zamieszkujące. Mieszka tu teź spokój, który dla nas, Europejczyków, jest lekarstwem. Dziękuje Wam kochani, będę do Was wracał.

This was the hunt of a lifetime. It has been a dream of mine to hunt lion for years and here I was able to bag one the first time out - a tribute to CEC Safaris not me. I was extremely impressed with your sincerity and desire to make my hunt successful in whatever way I chose it to be. One of the most important aspects is that I have just developed two new friends as well as had the best hunt in my life. Love you guys. Bill
JIM KAMMERER - U.S.A.
WOW!! This is the best hunting experience I ever had. The people involved with the camp were very professional yet friendly. Hunting was amazing. I was shown such a diversity of animals, plant life and geography. CEC SAFARIS is truly a fantastic organization.

Third trip back to Cec Safaris, by far the best! I can still remember on my first trip I was young. It has been wonderful to see how things have involved since then. You both have become my friends. I cannot wait to come back soon. The experiences and stories only get better. The leopard hunt was more than I could ask for. We really put our time in on that one! although I am really glad we did not have to sit in the blind. ALL THE BEST TILL NEXT TIME. Casey Shupe

It is warming to be with our life long friends and be able to spend a short time to make memories last a lifetime. Hunting is more than shooting animals and is a time when we can share experiences that give life long meaning. Thank you so much for letting us come to your home and be a part of your lives.
Best Wishes

ERIC PETERSON - U.S.A.
I always have dreamt of coming to Africa. I am so glad I made it. The hunting was much better than I thought possible. I will always remember the encounter with the Black Rhino and the way my kudu bull sailed through the bush. The grace and beauty of springbuck and Impala was awesome to see. I saw so many things and different birds. The hunting was fantastic. The hospitality was wonderful.
Thanks for sharing your lives with me and for making my life richer.
Thanks

Being dreaming of hunting in Africa since I was 5 years old. The hunting and land was fantastic. The amount of game and wildlife from aardwolves to zebra and mice to Eland and Rhinos was awesome. Elaine hunted us hard and got us on some great trophies and great memories. Cornie and Elaine have a wonderful lodge and the hospitality was exceptional.
Thanks for everything. The only problem now is when to plan for the next trip.

I cannot express how much I appreciate all you did for me to make this a enjoyable experience. This truly was the hunt of a lifetime for me and you helped me fulfill a life long dream. My only regret is there is just not enough time to experience everything Namibia has to offer. Elaine, you are a great PH. I have hunted my entire life and I really appreciate and respect your skills, ethics and professionalism when in the field. You helped me to find great trophies. Cornie, thank you for being such a advocate for the animals and sharing your philosophy and experiences with me. I admire what the two of you are about when it comes to hunting. I feel sad knowing I leave soon, but I know I made two friends. Knowing that I look forward to stay in touch and hopefully coming back some time to chase that Mountain Zebra.
You two run a first class operation. I love the lodge and all the spoiling of me, great food, drinks and attention. I felt as though I am part of the family the entire time. I will miss you two as well as the dogs.

This was our second trip to Namibia with Cornie and Elaine, but is was my very first EVER hunt. Elaine was a excellent PH and teacher. First shot went right where I wanted it on the Black Wildebeest and an excellent shot through the bushes to a beautiful steenbok. Both are fantastic trophies. THANK YOU SO MUCH. We will be back soon.
JEANNIE
This is our second time hunting with Cornie and Elaine. As always great accommodations and food. Hunting was amazing and there are no better people to be with than Cornie and Elaine. Two hunts down and my more to go. All of our trophies are perfect and both their knowledge of hunting is impressive. Until next time.

My first hunt in Namibia:
Amazing to say the least!. I have hunted before, but have never been on a real African Safari.
To be this close to the earth, this close to nature is a feeling difficult to describe. For 10 wonderful days, we felt the pulse of Africa through our boots walking and stalking game. Cornie just would not give up. He is persistent and I ended up with a awesome Red Hartebeest trophy.
They are so passionate about what they are doing that it is contagious. Elaine spoiled us rotten.
We met as strangers and we are leaving as friends.

Cornie, you gave me many good shot opportunities, 11 kills on 9 different species in 10 days.
Special thanks to your team for treating us so warmly. It is great to go home with sand in our shoes and friends in our hearts.

This was our first trip to Namibia and we know it will not be our last. Many thanks to Cornie and Elaine and their wonderful staff. Best Experiences, best food, best accomodations during our stay. We hunted Springbuck, Gemsbuck, Hartebeest, Mountain zebra and Kudu. All different experiences in hunting with each animal. Fantastic! Many memories that will not be forgotten. My boyfriend of 2 and a half years asked me to marry him on our last night here-WOW- what an ending to our adventure in Namibia. Will not say goodbye to our new friends, but will say "See you soon".

Thanks for my greatest hunt ever. I have been able to hunt in many places over the past years and this was the best. You made me feel like part of the family and it was the most fun I've had in a long time. The 2 "young" soldiers had a wonderful time telling stories of our past times in the service of our countries. This hunt was something I will remember forever, I will be back!!
The food was fantastic and the lodge was wonderful, but Elaine and Cornie made it special.
Thank you and love you both.

Elaine and Cornie: Thanks for an adventrue of a lifetime. The last time I hunted was in 1956 and that was for rabbit and pheasant on the farm in Illinois. Never in my life did I believe that I could hunt successfully at age 69. In addition to the warm hospitality, good food and engaging conversations as a biologist , I have learned a lot as well. I especially enjoyed the education on tracking. I am especially grateful to my PH Elaine, for her guidance and encouragement. Thanks. I hope to come back soon to complete my list of animals. Hopefully two of my sons will come along.
I have taught in South Africa, Swaziland, Zimbabwe and; Mali, but always with students. This was my time for me to visit Namibia. Beautiful country and people. Thanks again.
