Allen,

I don't usually comment about other safari companys etc for the obvious reason - but this one has come up before..... I don't know this guy from a bar of soap or whether he has a good or a bad reputation - but the Tanzania info looks a bit dubious and I'd recommend potential clients to look very closely at the offer and ask a few questions.

For example, is the area inside or outside the Selous. If it's outside the Selous then it's a buffer zone area and most buffer zones hold a far smaller game population per square kilometre than an area inside the Selous, the trophy fees are either out of date or he's selling them below government prices and losing money, there is also no mention of charters, rifle import fee, ammunition tax, community development fees, dip, pack and trophy transfer to Dar or if it's a licence per hunter or if it's a shared licence.....etc etc. The info about hunting cats is also somewhat confusing. - He says you can hunt a single cat on a sixteen day hunt - I don't know if that is suggesting it's possible to hunt it on a sixteen day licence or not - BUT if he is, he's wrong. Cats are only available on a 21 day licence and the client has to pay 21 days of all Government fees.....

Frankly, I don't see how anyone could offer a 7 day Buff hunt in the Selous for anywhere near that price and not lose a lot of money on the deal. Let alone pay a commission to an agent as well.

At the end of the day, there's no such thing as a free lunch in life.
