Gideon Rocks!
Just spent three days (6 drives) with Gideon in and around the Khwai river - he was a star! He provided outstanding care and put us on all sorts of game.... and he knows his birds, so much so, he's know the page numbers in the birding guides! When confronted with large numbers of other vehicles following lions, leopards or wild dogs, he knew how to avoid the pack of land rovers and anticipate our subjects movements so as to place us in their path. He was very communicative, without be overly so. You couldn't ask for a better guide/tracker.
