Trophies back home from Burkina Faso to NY in 2 months!

For those worried about trophy shipments from Burkina Faso!

I just had word that my trophies will be in NY tomorrow from Burkina Faso. I left Burkina on the 2nd of April 2013, this has to be a world record for speed of trophy shipments from Africa

I wish it was the case with Zim or anywhere else

Agreed. 2 months is pretty amazing. Had some clients get their trophies back from Zambia last year in 4 months, but 2 is just phenomenal.

If I remember, mine took about 3 months from Zambia.

Arjun,

That's great and the fastest shipping of trophies I have heard of. As others have said Zambia can be very fast also. I got my stuff in 3 months.

Two months is a long time. I got a crate of trophies from Tanzania three weeks after I got home. I wasn't quite ready to pay for them.

Going to Moz next year. Had to check the actuarial tables to be sure I'd live long enough to get the trophies back. (From what I hear)

It took me one year to the day to get my stuff back from Mozambique.

damn, that's pretty fast. took me about 1 1/2 years for 2 hunts with 2 different outfitters. Moz sets the standard for SLOOOW shipment. gotta say that 2 months is VERY damn fast for ANYTHING coming from Africa!

This has to be the new All Time Record! - Who was the outfitter?

This was a hunt I did with Ridge Taylor (he's since passed away). I was on a 21-day hunt and we brought my trophies back to Arusha when we left camp. I was expecting a few months and they arrived exactly three weeks after I got home. Granted, I did kick around the crater and Northern Tanzania for a week after the safari, so call it a month total after my hunt.
