I haven't travelled to Africa in several years and now looking at a hunt in Tanzania. One proposed route is Turkish Airlines from Dulles to Istanbul and then to Dar. Any thoughts or concerns going that route or airline. I understand there is a separate fee per gun case. Do they insist on Ammo separate from baggage? Any other thoughts?

We flew Turkish out of DFW to SA in May, no problems with ammo or rifle. They were supposed to charge for rifle case, but there was no way on their for them to charge, so didn’t pay. Flight home did have to pay. Ammo was in checked bag, but I’m sure it depends on the attitude of the ticket agent on any given day. Istanbul is nice! If you fly this route and have a decent layover, I can give you contact info for an amazing tour guide.
