Craig Boddington is going to Burkina Faso in 2014

[TOM]

Arjun is a booking agent, not a PH or outfitter. I would like to hunt there myself. JG, are you sure Craig filed a BK?

That is an extremely important point.

Unfortunately he did file BK. Pretty long thread on another big forum that I cannot link to.

Filing BK has become a fashion.... Like Many things don't really see that it matters..

True Brickburn I believe Arjun is based in Dallas.?,?

My best always.

Jaco, he's NY,NY based from my research.

Does Craig sell hunts? or just an author and TV personality?

 

[KWALATA SAFARIS]

I do not believe that he is an agent, author/personality.

Is where I believe it stops.

Burkina Faso

There are interesting animals to hunt in Burkina Faso, but I m not sure about the security right now, too close to Mali, where there is fighting going on.

I returned from a Burkina hunt on March 18th. I felt safe at all times. I heard that there were some issues near the Mali border, but the area I hunted was nowhere near Mali; rather it was near the Benin border and everything was fine.

That sounds like there is a hunting report coming ???? Hope you can take the time to share one here TiborV.

I worked in Burkina about three years ago. Drove most of the perimeter. Burkinabe are some of the nicest, hard working, and artistic folks on the continent. You really need French to get around. There were a few outfitters there at the time with mostly French clients. Best I recall, there are three parks where one can hunt and none are near the North or Mali border. I can vouch for staying away from that area, minimum border security and AQIM comes and goes at will. The last herd of West African elephants was protected in one of the parks (unless something changed). I saw roan, warthog, duiker, probably some other game while there (besides the elephants in and outside the park). Hunting is not as developed as Tanzania or Namibia, for example, and the French system is different. Same for tourism in general. Still a neat place and one of my favorite countries to visit. I would consider hunting there.
