I have no knowledge of the outfit about which you are asking, but they do match the description of every sketchy South African outfitter who “arranges” hunts in other countries. Is he asking to come along as an “observer” to pay all the “fees”?

One of my favorite Ray Wylie Hubbard lines is,”…the days I keep my gratitude higher than my expectations, those are really good days.”

Conservation Force does great work and are definitely worthy of donations!

I had a similar experience when I was booked on a full bag hunt in Tanzania in (if I remember correctly) 2007. The government upped all their fees and the price of my hunt more than doubled. I was lucky to be dealing with an honest outfitters, Luke Samaras, who refunded my deposit. I have not...
