I thought they were European agency. But on web site I noticed they are registered in UAE.
This forum is very large hunting community, and now info on this agency. Ti is indicative to me.

What is the attraction
Why not just use a sponsor from here

What is the attraction

Good point. Some sponsors did NOT reply to my inquires, in last three months - which is enough time to reply. (I understand that in the middle of hunting season they are busy hunting, but neverthelless)
Established agencies may also take care later about trophy shipments. And agency I used before does not cover all African hunting countries.

Also they are offering trips worldwide, so would be nice to here some people who have dealt with them.

Check out the Instagram page and FB page of them and you can see some well known hunter. Weatherby and Conklin award winner. Big names of GSCO hunter and also SCI. Saw Alex Egorov, Bela Hidvegi, Sergey Yastrzemskiy, Pepe Madrazo, Brian Hauck, Jason Bruce, John Amistoso ..

Basically, to simplify:
Safari is consisted of three phases:

Phase 1: Visa, tickets, gun permits (if need be), other formalities
Phase 2: Actual safari, and return home
Phase 3: Shipping of trophies to hunters country. Which happens months after actual safari

Basically, I am inclined to have agent to handle phases 1 and 3. Because I spent a lot of time, working abroad and is difficult to follow up on those details, when not at home. It is not absolute requirement for me, but is great assistance if provided.
Looking what happens with airlines: ban on guns on south African airlines, heatrow airpot UK, etc... Support of agent who handles these things on daily basis saves many potential troubles.
