Just returned from a trip with Tim. Thoroughly good guy, genuine and plenty of deer on his group. Highly recommended.

I can recommend Guy at Wild Horizon. Quite a few forum members have hunted with him and his team. Great guy as are the chaps working with him. I'd definitely have a conversation with them at least. When you consider all of the costs involved in a hunt they offer fantastic value for money...

I really would not pay 100% up front. A small deposit and pay in full at the end. I have been asked to pay in cash before. But this was at the end of the hunt. You can leave the UK with with £10,000 without having to declare it to customs. However, carrying a large amount of cash is a very...

Ain't that the truth! :lol: I do wonder how much business some outfitters have lost as a result!

So does anyone have an actual list as to what species have been banned? Or is it simply everything on CITIES Appendix A and B?

Sorry, I've not explained myself well there at all. What I really meant was how easy is it to fly there with a rifle these days? Specifically, what airlines leaving the UK will allow you to fly to Jo'burg with a connecting flight to Windhoek with your own firearms?

Not been to Namibia in four years. How easy is it to take your own rifle these days?

I know a guy who can help you with that if you ever want contact details let me know.

Thanks. Will take a look.

Just wondering if anyone has ever come across an outfit in either South Africa or Namibia that can offer legit fishing trips in addition to a hunting package? I don't mean a hunting outfitter who knows how to wet a line. But anyone who operates as a genuine fishing guide also. Does any such...

I first hunted Africa with Guy at Wild Horizons. I met his young son who was hunting mad. Unsurprisingly he has now followed in his fathers footsteps to become a PH which I think is greaqt. So I know they start quite young there. Thanks for the replies. With the recent proposed trophy import...

Has anyone here taken their kids hunting in Africa? And if so at what age? I have an eight year old son who's too young now but I really want him to experience an African hunt while he still can if I can find a suitable outfitter etc. I'd be interested in knowing at what age youngsters start...

Me too. I wonder if they'll be much of an industry left at this rate.

I agree 100%. The issue for us in the UK is getting there. It's technically illegal to travel to RSA for a holiday right now. And with current infection rates will be for quite some time. I've written 2021 off as far as hunting is concerned and I'm really not sure 2022 will be an option if...

I've hunted RSA several times and Namibia. I'd like to hunt other countries before I eventually can't. If one was wanting to investigate hunting Mozambique or Zambia, where would you start?
