Wondering if anyone has hunted the northern cape with FM Safaris? Any feedback is a greatly appreciated! Thanks John

Two years ago today, I took a great buffalo in Zim. hunting with Shingani Safaris. As of today, there is still no paperwork to make it exportable! I'm told by the taxidermist that she has been that trying for over a year to get Riaan to produce the documents needed and now it is pretty...

Two years ago today I took the buffalo with Shingani Safaris and still no paperwork. Oviously there will never be an export permit to get my buffalo and it's time to just give up. The taxidermist has tried for months to get Riaan to produce paperwork and she is always told they will get it in...

Now it's getting to the end of May and still no progress! Vosloo claims we are waiting on the Zim goverment for export, but the taxidermist claims they are waiting on paperwork from Vosloo. Frustrating to say the least!

Another month and still no paperwork! Riaan claims we are waiting on the ZIm goverment for export, but dip and pack hasn't done anything with our buffalo and are still waiting for paperwork which we were told was done 2 months ago! 20 months since we hunted and still nothing.

Now it's the end of March and still no paperwork! We were told the paperwork was stamped and would be delivered to the dip and pack a month ago! This ordeal has just been one lie after the other!

Still waiting! We were told paperwork was stamped and would be delivered to dip and pack, that was over a month ago! Taxidermist has heard nothing! I'm getting tired of being lied to, and wish I had not ever met Riaan Vosloo!

I'm told paperwork is stamped and will be delivered to the dip and pack. We'll see. I wasn't planning on having it mounted in Zim. as I'll do it myself.

What I meant to say is there was no paperwork delivered with the buffalo!

No I'm not the same guy from a year ago

My buffalo finally was delivered to Matabeland Taxidermy a couple weeks ago and I was sent a photo of it, pretty rough shape to say the least! Now I'm told there is paperwork with it! What a nightmare!

Bushbuck is one of my favorites.

CJ I'm not the one that started the rumor that Riaan was arrested. I also admire his clients that had good hunts with him sticking up for him. I'm also glad you have always gotten what was promised to you by Riaan. The fact I didn't get what was promised to me is still the truth. Maybe me...

I purchased a hunt at the SCI convention in 2009 with Shingani Safaris. The hunt was for buffalo and was to take place in the Binga area. My friend and I also wanted Sable. Riaan said this was no problem. We also paid for a 1 on 1 hunt. Riaan Vosloo told me that he would be my PH on the hunt...

Got word today that my buffalo arrived at the taxidermist for processing!

Just got an email and he said our buffalo in are their possession and they will be delivered to dip and pack tomorrow!

Hi Jim, Just wondering what you hear about the buffalo we took in Zimbabwe? I can't any reply for Riaan when I email. Did contact a guy that is the head of the Zim PH assoc. and he things Riaan wasn't licenced to hunt there in Zimbabwe and that it was an illegal safari! He said if that is...

Thanks for all the helpful advice! I think I will give him one more chance and also let him know my plans to contact SCI and this forum if my buffalo is not delivered ASAP.

Sorry to not reply sooner, been in BC. I got my last email from the owner 2 months ago telling me all paper work was complete and my buffalo would be deliver asap. He blamed his guy for not picking it up. Since I have writen him twice and no reply from him or his staff. I've also contacted...

Thanks for the great advice! The PH I have talked to is also the owner operater. I do have the name of the park manager where the buffalo were taken and understand that they are being kept there. I also contacted the taxidermist in Zimbabwe and they have tried to help. They told me they...

I and a friend went on a buffalo hunt in Zimbabwe last September. TO date, our buffalo still haven't been delivered to be dipped and packed. The whole hunt was a train wreck and we got nothing that we paid for exept the buffalo. I was getting the run around from the PH, but now no replies to...
