FINAL COMMENTS FROM KEN WILSON

Federico Gellini has been hunting in Tanzania for over 20 years, and he has been an outfitter in Africa since 1972 including Angola, Sudan, Zimbabwe, and the Central African Republic. Frankly, his name is synonymous with excellence in African safaris. His Kilwa concession is famous for the Big 4, Roosevelt Sable, East African Eland, and plains game. His Selous concession also has the Big 4 and plains game and is better for Hippo and Gazelles, White-Bearded Wildebeest, Coke's Hartebeest, etc., for which Maasailand is famous. His camps and staff are known for organization and service. His company has been a long-time supporter of hunting organizations including the donation of a major safari to SCI every year. After Federico's long-time booking agent, Dick Jarrett, retired, Shunneson & Wilson Adventures was fortunate to be named the exclusive North American booking agent for Federico Gellini Tanzania Safaris and Safari Club Tanzania, Ltd.
