I would like to say thanks to Fanie and Johan. I don't think we all realise just how much they do for us as guides. Thanks, ama - gents for all that you do for us both in meetings and behind the scenes! You're doing a great job and huge favour. You are setting the bar very high, and together we will conquer!
Well done to all that make meetings too - without this show of unity, we cannot move forward at the pace we are currently experiencing.

What a tome! It must have taken eons to put together but is really a huge bonus for our province so kudos to all those who put in so many hours getting this together. The listing is really well thought out and I really like the breakdown into regional, national, language and site guides. Enables those looking for guides to navigate the listing easier. Now we need to collectively promote it!

Good stuff and well done to all!

Hey Everyone,
I am finally back from an amazing trip to Mozambique. What a lovely country, it feels as if you are on a tropical island... amazing.

Birds weren't as great as I had expected. In fact it was rather poor. Came back with four new lifers:
Greater sand Plover
Sooty Falcon
Plain backed sunbird
Crested Tern

My life count is now at 728 - thrilling.

Dear All - herewith a reminder for the upcoming First Aid refresher course, for all those needing to renew their certificates.

Cost: R400.00

Since my last blog (Beware of the Weirdo), I have found out that I am not the only one who has suffered a verbal attack in public by this "tour operator" / unregistered guide. If you have been on the receiving end of her coarse and vulgar tongue, kindly mail me with the details (date and circumstances, place etc) as well as the names of anyone witnessing the incident as well as proof of any reporting of the incidence either to Gauteng Guides or GTA. Even if you didn't report it, still contact me re the details. Appreciate it and let's see if we can get some action on this unsavoury situation.

I mean this really sincerely, watch out for a "guide" or operator called Mandy working in Soweto. I have just recently had an altercation with her which leads me to think that she is a serious threat to tourism in our province and country and is an unstable character.
