If you don't have residency in Botswana you can forget it -and even if you do, you had better be prepared to be examined by some of the finest PH's in Africa......They have some of the highest standards of any African country.

........hope that's not bad news!

Jaco,

don't know when you qualified but they no longer allow non SA residents to sit the PH exams.....they now apply the "Aliens Act" to non residents. I think they started to adopt this policy at least 5 or 6 years.

Mike,

you're right about it being very difficult for non Africa born people to gain a PH licence......but I managed it. There were no strings pulled and no friends in high places. I managed it through sheer pig headedness, a degree of stupidity and dogged determination.......... I just refused to give up and eventually got what I wanted....Perhaps because they got sick of my face and the sound of my voice on the telephone!

On the day I qualified I was told that all that I had achieved was the first step on the road to becoming a professional - Professional Hunter. 15 years later I still appreciate the wisdom of that comment.

My point is not meant to sound like a boast at all - (because there's nothing to boast about). My point is that if someone wants to do something hard enough he or she will find a way to do it. Never give up & never give in.
