huskyWhat do you know about Gotsoma Safaris?
Hi,
Wonder if anybody here at AR has hunted with Gotsoma Safaris and the owner Adrian de Guisto?

500nitroBeware of adrian de guisti of Gotsoma Safaris, he took me and my clients for nearly US$9000, and 2 local hunters I know for R30,000. He promised to refund the money but used excuses to not pay it back and does not respond to comms. I am reliably informed that he has done the same thing to a number of other hunters.

SaeedI think most safari operators require full daily rate payment before the hunt - unless the client is known to them.
And frankly, I do not blame them.
When an outfitter finds an honest client - and most are - keep him.
Same goes for professional hunters. When you find an honest one, make sure you hunt with him again, and again.

stueyI have only ever booked with a deposit, that has always been enough to get the booking slot.
Then I can follow up with booking airline tickets etc. Final payment in the weeks leading up to travel.
I would never pay 100% up front a year or so out from the hunt.
Cheers
