Likewise.

We travelled through Europe when we were married and was quite concerned when we checked into our rooms and the teenager manning the front desk took our passports and nonchalantly opened a drawer and tossed them in with about 30 others.

Took a little bit of getting used to…

Good idea. Try to steal stuff or wreck the room and you don't get your passport back until the hotel is paid. However, the drawer should be LOCKED.

Very normal...if they DON'T ask for it, something is off! Where are you going and for what? We love to hear about as many hunts as possible around here.

I’m going to the Limpopo region for a plains game management hunt in August. Obviously my first trip to Africa.

 

[Green Chile]

Limpopo is a great area for your first or 10th hunt. The shots are not usually long there...under 100 is common and often less than 50. We highly recommend practicing shooting from sticks before you go. Get away from the bench and setup the sticks to practice getting setup quickly. Besides being safe, the #1 goal is to setup up quickly and quietly for a shot while the PH is making a decision. Trust your PH!

Is it normal for outfitter to request a photo copy of your passport before your hunt ?

Yes, they need it for your hunting license

 

[HUNTROMANIA]

In my country we need to announce national police any hunter is coming to hunt here and send them copies of: passport, gun license and hunting license.
If the hunter is traveling with his gun we need to ask for the preliminary approvals from border police sending copies after passport, gun and hunting license.
