Good looking trophies. Deplorable import "tax" on ammo. Great way to encourage hunters to look elsewhere. Does any other country do that??

I agree. I do feel sorry for the outfitters who have to deal with gov't. imposed crap like this. When you consider the overall cost of a safari it isn't that much, but I find it particularly galling. Just another case of African countries fleecing the visiting hunters. I've been on 14 African hunts but have never set foot in Zambia. On a plains game hunt in Botswana I was charged an import tax of my ammo but it was a relatively small amount. It was around $20-$25 if I recall correctly. That was on 40 rounds each of .338 Win and .375 H&H ammo. The tax was not in dollars but their local currency. I had to exchange some US currency for the local money to pay the tax so I might have benefited from the exchange rate.

There is currently no ammo import tax.
It has been a hot topic for a while and the cause of a lot of irritation between clients/operators and the Gov.

Great! I wonder why the PH still advertises that there is a tax? May consider Zambia now.
