Hello 505ED,
Benin and Burkina Faso are 2 very nice hunting countries. Very good for savannah buffalo, roan, western hartebeest, BIG harnassed bushbuck, BIG nagor reedbuck.
I spent 1 year in Burkina and 8 in Benin as a PH.
You can contact for Burkina faso: Mr. Erick TEICHER bosobo@wanadoo.fr
You can contact for B駭in: Mr. Jean Luc DAMY jeanlucwae@yahoo.com

Cheers

Christophe,

Thanks for the reply-- witch do you think would be my best option. Price is always a concern, but I'd like a good camp and a resonable chance at 1. Roan 2. Bushbuck 3. Buffalo 4 Heartbeest. I have also heard that in one of the countries there is a chance at Lion if you play your cards right, just checking around.

Both countries are good for what you look for. If you go for 10 hunting days it is quite easy to bag these species. Sure there is lion there, just check with the outfitters what he charges you for it.
Ask the prices and compare but keep one thing in mind; lthe lowest prices you get, the biggest trouble you get !!!!
You know to go there and kill animal is the easiest part but to get your trophy in good condition is another part and of course it costs....
Anyway, my advice: you can trust both of them.

merry Christmas
christophe

I saw that. Just looking to see if there is anybody who has hunted there recently. Thanks though. Hard to get info.

I have heard recently that it’s still sketchy up there....rebels or terrorist activities up there.

Pretty much no go countries now and for the foreseeable future I fear. The Boko boys have been going apeshit over there. I wouldnt go if someone paid me!

Would you go for a few free bricks of primers, 20lbs. of powder and a Delta airline ticket?

 

[sestoppelman]

Not for 10 times that amount!

I considered that but feel that ship has sailed. Maybe a couple of Cold Castles and some big Sable is a better option!
