Two years ago today, I took a great buffalo in Zim. hunting with Shingani Safaris.
As of today, there is still no paperwork to make it exportable! I'm told by the
taxidermist that she has been that trying for over a year to get Riaan to produce
the documents needed and now it is pretty much hopeless. Not sure what to do
at this point other then to just write it off.
I saved for years to go on this hunt and it was a terrible experiance all the way
around. My advice is to steer clear of Shingani Safaris and Riaan Vosloo. The
man is a lier and a crook.

You can read about my hunt in the hunt report Zimbabwe: http://www.africahunting.com/zimbabwe-hunting-reports/7136-bad-hunt-shingani-safaris.html
 
Crappy anniversary to say the least.
 
Pictures and memories!
 
The pictures and memories are what you have...many are going that rout these days with the added expense of dip & Pack and shipping and taxidermy work and shipping again. it cost almost as much as the safari sometimes...

While a bummer look forward and not back...what was will never change...

Question...have you tried to obtain paperwork through your outfitter?

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
