BOTSWANA: Successful Safari In Botswana With NKWE SAFARIS

[lockingblock]

Jaco is the best hunter I’ve even met. He is a natural in the bush. Anyone looking for giant Kudu should be on a flight to meet him.

Are there still issues with the one and only D&P out of Botswana?

Hmmm, I am not aware of any issues. I have used them in the past and found them to be very professional.

I did Dip and Pack there and it was perfect. Literally, couldn’t have been better. I used trophy shippers on this end as well.

I don't think Jaco and his team will let you down. If he has the new camp open on the north side of the Kalahari game reserve, the hunt should be great.

We had 3 hunters and 1 observer in our group with NKWE Safaris this past June. Mochaba Developments in Maun was the D&P and everything went smoothly.

We are looking for the big Kudu and Eland. We are willing to hunt hard for them. We all have nice specimens but we want to bring home the exceptional versions. And we keep seeing and hearing about Jaco and his crew even without any stateside tours and shows.

Jaco's good reputation is well earned and well deserved. I only had 1 hunt with him, but it was excellent and exceeded. My co-hunters on the trip are very well traveled worldwide hunters and they were 100% satisfied.

Excellent animals, sounds like an amazing trip! What series of flights did you use to get there?

Now that my Botwana trophies have arrived at Monarch Taxidermy in Helena Montana, I thought I would share this short FYI regarding shipping costs. My package (one box) weighted 63 KGM (138 pounds) and included: 3 kudu skulls and 2 capes, 1 waterbuck skull and cape, and 1 warthog skull. The shipment traveled from Maun (Botswana) to Johannesburg to Istanbul to Seattle where it was picked up by Coppersmith Global Logistics. The cost was $2,950 (this was the total cost between Maun and Seattle and included dipping, packing and all necessary certificates). The shipment cost from Seattle to Helena was $1,425 (this was the total cost between Seattle and Helena and included all necessary documents and Coppersmith handling fees). So the total cost came in at $4,375 which seems comparable with some of my previous shipments.
