Please accept our heart feels thank you for the wonderful experience that Thormählen & Cochran’s entire team afforded us in Namibia. It was truly a “once in a lifetime occurrance” and the tales of the hunt will be repeated to anyone patient enough to listen to us for the remainder of our lives. We would not change anything about this trip.

Simply the best!
Thank you for conducting and providing me with one of the finest hunting experiences of my life. After twelve trips to Africa and nearly that many safaris with numerous PH’s ad Outfitters, our Vaal Reebok safari exceeded my wildest dreams for success and overall enjoyment. It was superb one all accounts.

– Gary N. Thornton

Our safari was everything we dreamed it would be (a trip of a lifetime for sure)! Christo was awesome and ensured every detail of our trip was handled flawlessly. Many thanks to you for all the work you put in helping us plan and finalize this amazing experience.
