"Last Summer (2008) my wife and I, along with our two adult age children did the Track Africa safari with Sean Stones. We spent the bulk of our two weeks stay in Botswana and Zambia. Our family has traveled extensively throughout the world and our journey to Africa was the best trip we have ever taken. The sights, sounds and experience of Africa are stunning and memorable. Sean's knowledge of African wildlife is second to none, and his cooking skills over a campfire is extrodinary. For anyone who enjoys travel and a unique experience, this is a trip you must do at least once in your lifetime. We are already planning to return." Jim & Lisa Glowacki, Minnesota.
