No kidding.

Any problems bringing your own rifles in?

What is the outlook for 2014? Are you taking bookings for 14 yet as I'm completely booked through August of 13.

Less than $11G for buffalo and a roan, that's a bargain!

There is no problem bringing your own gun to Burkina Faso.

Some other infos I would like to add:
Burkina Faso has some weird hunting laws and the laws are strictly followed. There is no shooting from the vehicle. No baiting for lions. You can only shoot one animal per day.

It is strictly fair chase and your on foot most of the time. You have to be in reasonable physical shape to enjoy the walks in the hot weather.

I'll try to answer all pm's+emails asap.

Thx.

Killer deal... I hunted Benin in 2008 and really enjoyed it. A welcome change of scenery and fauna for those who have hunted in southern Africa exclusively. I would jump on this but have trips lined up to Spain and New Zealand next year.


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Can't do January February...April is doable but seems bloody hot. How does that effect the success of hunting these animals...buff and roan?

It is bloody hot but the hunting is excellent! This area has lots of water, while the other surrounding area (reserves) don't have water. There should be a high concentration of game.

If you can handle the heat, go in April!

Cheers

Caracal:

If you are limited to one animal per day, can you accumulate the animals towards the end of the hunt? In other words, if you don't shoot anything the first 5 days, are you then limited to 5 animals for the last 5 days of the hunt?

What's the turn around time for exporting of the trophies?? In some of these countries it seems to take forever to get the animals shipped home. Looks like an awesome hunt!!!

I mounted a safari group from a hunt with this outfit a few years ago. I want to say the trophies were in the US within 5 months or so.....very quick!

This is a hunt I have been thinking about for a while as well.

Hello,
the raw prep is done in camp. The outfitter will organize the dip&pack and shipping, he is very fast! Shipping is pretty quick. I got my trophies after 4month.

The plains game species are listed in my first post. PG-quota is very limited.
