Myles
McCallum
Director and PH of CM Safaris
Born
in 1975. From a farming and boarding school background. Hunting and
nature have always been central to my existence. Three day long illicit
poaching excursions into the bush were already common at just five years
old! Starting in 1995 I worked for Roger Whittall serving my apprenticeship
under him. My first four years were spent guiding bow hunters. I helped
guide more than 30 annually. Naturally I learned plenty about bow hunting,
but really the most invaluable knowledge I gained was of hunting. Every
single factor being so much more critical for the successful bow hunter.
I learned and saw things that very few guides will ever experience.
The last 5 years have been spent guiding mostly dangerous game safaris
primarily for rifle hunters, but for some intrepid bow hunters too.
My best hunts are for elephant and leopard - the most difficult. There
is nothing I relish more than a long, challenging, fair chase safari
for top quality trophies. Happily married to Oliva since 2006 with a very cute 2 year old daughter Fenella, and 3 month Miriam.
Bongi
First tracker and magician! From Turk mine near Bulawayo. Bongi is an extremely talented hunter and tracker, with the best eyes I have ever come across. He is an agressive and very physical man, and delights in hard challenging hunts. Though very focused he is great fun and always upbeat - a serious asset. When not accompanying me on a hunt he is the manager of the Karunga Camp in Dande East.
Norest
Second tracker. From Dande this young man is from a long line of trackers and hunters and has grow up in a dangerous game area. He has huge natural ability and tallent, is very physical and hard working and I am sure one day will become one of the greats.
