How much stomache do you have for standing in pointless line-ups? First, all the expense and hassle of getting the documentation on my end. Second, we had an early departure from Tambo to Windhoek. The duty officer didn't show up for work meaning we couldn't clear our guns, so we missed our original connection, this after a ridiculously long delay checking in because no one could decide where the ammo had to go. Three; arrival Windhoek. No ammo cases, which also means no bolts. Dead in the water, lost day that no one will compensate us for. Four, leaving Windhoek; similar delay. Policeman is on duty, but no one knows where. Air Namibia has changed planes, and will only allow one checked bag, to they charge us fifty bucks a piece for our gun cases. Five, arrival Victoria Falls. Lost bag, no bolt, no ammo, lost hunting day. Then it gets bad leaving Zambia and Tambo for home...one ammo box lost, another damaged to the point it cannot be used again. Of course, add the fees for the SAPS from to be filled out and to pay for the Zambia license. The supervisor at Tambo told us that she'd be happy if we hunters all stayed home, then all their animals wouldn't get killed. I might oblige.
