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.

I want to offer my sincerest thanks to you for helping us make our safari the very best that it could have been. You were always very prompt in replying to emails, and very gracious in answering some of my ridiculous questions. You made planning the trip as easy as could be. Thank you!!!!
Every single aspect of the trip far exceeded our expectations.
