Hey guys
looking to book a flight to Tanzania and was wonder if anyone has had any experience going through Paris with firearms good or bad.

Paris isn’t a problem with firearms. You just hand them your firearms declaration to each gate agent, but they did forget to load my bag with ammo on the next plane for 4 days.
 
I flew last summer on the way to South Africa. AF were fantastic and I highly recommend them. Need to advise them in advance about the rifles. Otherwise smooth direct transfer to destination
The ammo was incased seprately but in the checked luggage, no need to handle it separately in my case.
Keep proof of payment as they will check it in Paris.
The rifle case fee was about $50 USD one way. I was told that the fee was collected on behalf of the South African luggage handlers, so I'm curious if they gonna charge you anything at all for a flight to Tanzania.

What airline did you fly?
 
If you fly Qatar, Turkish or Emirates you’ll have no problems with your guns showing up with you at your destination.
 
I had trouble with my ammo last year just like Zach. Air France flies into JRO every other day. So I had to wait a couple of days for the ammo to make it to camp. I am putting my ammo in my suitcase this year hoping for better luck.

I just booked tickets on Turkish going through Istanbul, I’ve been through there multiple times to Europe with shotguns without hassle
 
I flew Qatar on that route.
 
I’d appreciate hearing how that goes and a review of who she uses to guide her. Probably the only one of the 7 summits I have a chance of going up now.
My daughter and her then boyfriend (now husband) climbed Kilimanjaro on a private climb for just the two of them in 2023. I arranged the climb through Tom Dames of the Original Ker & Downey Safaris. It was planned superbly, without a single glitch. Tom is a 2nd generation partner in Ker & Downey, born, raised and has lived his entire life in Kenya & Tanzania. He’s climbed Kili something like 10 times, so is something of an authority on climbing Kili and who to use for the climb. I recommend him very highly and will be happy to connect anyone on here with him for African travel, including some of the best fresh & saltwater fishing on the continent. One more reason to use Tom is that he’s ‘One of Us.’

Nice Report! Im about to pull the trigger on booking the LDE with Patrick. I have been talking about it with him for about 3 yrs now. Romain hit me up the other day with an offer I can't refuse for 2027.

Andrew, I commented that your on 375 H&H for sale was the fair price.

Like I commented, my classic stainless has the original 24” barrel.

Did you buy yours with the barrel already cut down to 21” or did you do it (or a gunsmith)?

You might have edited your post on the PH in the Bubye. I know the PH and is a wonderful person and a fmaily man and runs a succesful business in Zim and just doesn't want the attention that the internet offers, the ugly kind.
