FAQ
----
There are no security problems in Burkina whatsoever. The problems are in Mali to the North
Importing trophies from Burkina is the same as from anywhere else in Africa
Rifle permit takes a few weeks to obtain, we will need all your rifle details
You will need to get a visa from the Burkina Embasssy in DC or NY, this can be sent for by mail
To get there from the States there are daily flights to Paris and from there a connecting flight to Ouagadougou. There are others but Air France is probably the best carrier. Burkina is a bit closer than destinations in Southern Africa.
As with everything in this world outfitters charge different prices so if you can buy what you think is the same hunt in Burkina for 1,500 euros, then that's what you should do, but please don't debate that with me. This concession borders two national parks and there is abundant, quality game to be had.
Thanks for looking

Dutch44With three trophies and the extras looks like a great buff hunt in the 11K-12K range all in except flights and transfers. Certainly attractive in light of what just happened in Zim.

tendramsBingo! Given the recent events in Zim and elsewhere, I worry this place is going to see an increase in demand/prices in coming years. If it is still open and reasonable like today, I will be going to Burkina Faso for buff/lion in a few years.
