One big problem with safari contracts is choice of law and jurisdiction. You might get jurisdiction in the US if your outfitter came to the US and sold you the contract here, but you will have to serve them in their country should you try to sue them. That means determining if their country is a member of the Hague. If so get ready. You have to comply with the Hague, which means the complaint has to be officially translated into the official language, etc. Costs a lot. Then you have to get service of process in the other country. Costs a lot and it's easy to dodge service in other countries. They probably won't appear, but then you have to get a default judgment which doesnt' cost a whole lot, but then you have to try to collect.
Good luck and that does cost a lot. I've been through it with a Chinese company.

Given that your safari was probably $150,000 or less, it's not worth the effort.

I guess since all you can do is deflect, you must agree, Baldry’s handshake isn’t worth spit. Or shit, in keeping with you your toilet paper reference.

I seem to remember when you hunted with me the contract was mostly a regurgitation of our correspondence and a handshake. I remember that long day hike after Roan only to get busted at dusk. The massive Bushpig and extraordinary Sable. Good times my friend.

Agreed, they were good times, and the way I prefer to do business. However, this business is full of those who cannot do business that way. It was hard to watch Buzz get lambasted for making a reasonable business decision to deal with dishonest, discourteous clients. This sport seems to be full of clientele that won’t lose a wink of sleep leaving some trusting businessman hanging out to dry.

Poor Baldry indeed. Sold a fellow an $80K hunt so the guy could take his dad with Parkinson’s on a trip to Africa. Gets the guy to pay his buddy Ibi. Then when it all went tits up, Baldry tells the fellow he sold the hunt to, good luck my friend there’s nothing I can do. Poor old Baldry.
