This documentary is a great illustration on why it takes money, time and patience to get things done in Africa. If you are going to Africa for any reason, slow down.
Enjoy!

The American mentality (that fewer and fewer of us even seem to have) of getting it done ASAP doesn't seem to exhist there (IME).
It took 18 months to get a cape buffalo skull & cape back from Mozambique (and cost over $4,000)!
If it wasn't for the safari company's concierges (who are worth their weight in gold) and know who's palms to grease and how much to grease them and who to stand firm against, I think a first-timer would hardly ever go back, despite the best hunting in the world.

And if you are easily made mad, and start giving them a hard time, then you are really screwed.

I agree, people need to remember that they are not in their home country anymore and that if you try to push them they are going to be like the old donkey and just sit down on it's rear and look at you.

Hello,
Am I reading your post correctly to say that the Tsavo rifle will be coming out with a composite stock later this year? I ask because I had been looking very hard for a Tsavo, but if there is going to be a composite stock model I will wait for that.
Thank you for your time,
Andrew

Saw your post. Nice. Denver too. Genesee area (just off 70) if ever up this way. Alternatively, do you have a membership at GGC? Whatever, you'll have a wonderful time in Africa. Enjoy.
