The pictures below are from a good friend of mine's Father. He went for a month and a half safari in Tanzania's Ruaha National Park area in 1969. He took elephant, sable, kudu, lion, buffalo, zebra, and several other species. He is now eighty-nine years old. He remembers his PH as being a Keith Cormac. He is sending additional photos but thought I might post these as I received them today. If anyone ia familiar with the area he hunted or has heard of Keith Cormac any info would be appreciated.

Love the old photos and stories of yesterday year. Could we have stories to go with the photos that would be the icing on the cake.
I'm sure the old fella would have some interesting tales, like all the older generations can.

The good old days ..... even if we are still Lucky to hunt now, it is really a different time....

@morioc
In 30 years time we will be calling our hunting the good old days.
I hope things get better for the next generation.

I doubt it and that’s why I decided to get out and hunt more while I’m still able instead of …..”Someday I will (insert epic)”
