WOW!!! What can I say...both Tokoloshe and Conservation Force are truly exceptional!!!! I got my elephant this past April just 4 months ago and just got my U.S. Import approval!!!! For those of you who have asked here is what you need:
1. A great outfitter like Tokoloshe who can provide all the paperwork backup needed.
2. An experienced agency like Conservation Force who has the experience and can do all the paperwork needed.

I had the above two points covered before I even took the hunt. For those of you who have asked me Conservation Force charged me $2,500 for their service which is so well worth it!!!!!
 
Congratulations! Awesome news!
 
Great to hear. I know conservation force has always come through but I was told in the past they’ve been very slow compared to other permitting services. 4 months is good turn around.
 
Congrats! The backlog has broken. I just picked up my ivory from my dad yesterday. He picked it up for me in Chicago a couple months ago after it cleared inspection. My lion from last November was also approved and on its way over here soon. Both handled by CF.
 
Congratulations RB, those are some fantastic news. What are you going to do with the tusks, and the rest of the ele?
 
Rare breed Liesl received your e-mail today. I am so happy everything went so smooth, there was one small glich, but that is all it takes the question was how do you age a elephant when it is alive?

The new hunter saw 17 bulls today with one very big Hwange bull, tomorrow.

Scott that was your +70 pounder? I know all of us would love to see them when they go in your home!!!!!
 
Congrats!!
 
Great news. One more reason to book with Liesl and Lon!

Lon and Liesl I will be coming back for more in the future!!!! I feel like Rourk and Hemingway are at the bar with me at your lodge looking over Lake Kariba as we have a sun downer at your fabulous wood bar!!!

What are the other recommended permitting services?
 
Congratulations @Rare Breed
Looking forward to seeing that ivory in all its splendor!
 
Well that’s good news. I submitted an application 40ish days ago. Hoping for some good news soon myself. I had been waiting to apply for import until the whole South Africa export situation got sorted out.
 
Congratulations!
I look forward to seeing your pictures once you get done with the taxidermy.

Good Morning x84958
I have read your post about Jamy Traut and your hunt in Caprivi. I am planning such a hunt for 2026, Oct with Jamy.
Just a question , because I will combine Caprivi and Panorama for PG, is the daily rate the same the week long, I mean the one for Caprivi or when in Panorama it will be a PG rate ?
thank you and congrats for your story.
Best regards
Philippe from France

Hello Doug,
I am Philippe from France and plan to go hunting Caprivi in 2026, Oct.
I have read on AH you had some time in Vic Falls after hunting. May I ask you with whom you have planned / organized the Chobe NP tour and the different visits. (with my GF we will have 4 days and 3 nights there)
Thank in advance, I will appreciate your response.
Merci
Philippe
