Not much hope.

I hunted in Burkina Faso for 15 years. Due to the location of the country and its neighbors I always guessed what will come soon or late.

It is not only Islamic terrorism that causes problems , but the other unrest that has arisen such as various inter-ethnic conflicts with regular massacres and either way the increase in general crime. Little or nothing is reported about it in the world press and that is the reason why hunters still think of hunting in Burkina Faso , Benin and also Cameroon where some areas in the middle and north are really no longer recommended. In the latter country, I would only recommend the forest hunting areas in the south.

For some reasons I am related to the country Burkina Faso , but if you have no relations to such countries , you shouldn't take unnecessary risks and stay away. We still have enough countries in Africa where we can hunt with relative safety. We should take advantage of these opportunities as long as it is possible , because other problems will arise sooner or later and compromise the future of the african hunting in general.
