Hello all,
Myself and a collective of 3 others are headed to Namibia on Safari. I am looking to gather info on our trip and pickup some tips/tricks from you whom have made the journey before.
We are traveling via SAA to Jo-berg and finally ending in Windhoek. We will have a 6 day safari. Broken into pairs, we will hunt an animal each day. We are all shooting 300 Winchester magnum or ultramag rifles to take our plains game in Namibia:
Gemsbok
Kudu
Burchells Zebra
Red Hartebeest x3
Black Wildebeest
Blue Wildebeest x2
Impala x2
PH/Outfitter : African Days (Pieter Stofenberg)
Taxidermy in Africa: Reiser Taxedermy
Shipping from Africa to US: (Still unknown.. taking suggestions!) ????
Import and Taxidermy in US: Dan Johnson Taxidermy (WI)
Though reading and advise, we are taking all but one hartebeest home with us to allow us to import in one crate. However We are still unsure who we will ship the hides and horns home with.
Another point of contention seems to be how many bribes are required to get though the airports with our rifles... some are saying as much as $200 was spent to get out for the airport in Namibia!
If anyone has any experience with the above companies, I would appreciate your feedback! If you have any tips or tricks for packing and saving a few bucks here or there, I would be glad to hear them. We leave in about a month, so its crunch time for us!
