CITES help - Botswana elephant
I recently returned from a successful Botswana elephant hunt. (Working on a hunt report.)

I am looking for recommendations to assist with the CITES permit to import the tusks into the US.

I am aware of:
1. Conservation Force
2. Jared Dabney, Adventure Permits.

Any recommendations? Are there others to consider?

I believe those two import permit services are the most frequently used. For my December 2024 hunt, I used Adventure Permits. The process was initiated with them on January 28 and I had the elephant import permit in hand on April 11. It couldn't have been a more seamless process.

Wyatt Fetner of Safari Specialty Importers recently handled my elephant import from my Namibia hunt, obtained the USFW Permit and delivery to my front door. Highly recommend!

Hopefully you are using Mochaba in Bots. They are excellent.
