I'm looking into hunting there in 2008 for lion and buffalo. It looks like fees and costs there may be much less than in southern African countries and also seems like maybe an exotic sort of adventure. Before committing, I'm hoping to get more info, particularly personal reports from guys who have already been there. I've done searches here on AR and The Hunting Report (so no need to reiterate same), but overall have found very little. It seems like relatively few Americans go there. Aside from Africa, my favorite hunts are being dropped off on the tundra or float trips in AK, so a little roughing it is just fine by me.

Would greatly appreciate any insights, advice, testimonials, references?

Judge G has hunted there. Do a search for Burkina for more info.

Steve, No first-hand info, but here is a link to an older article from The African Hunter:
