Headed back for four weeks and just thinking about items that might be on the more unique or unusual side that you've brought back. Interested to hear about your treasures.
 
I have brought back beautiful hand carved serving bowls. Also hand carved both big 5 animals all in one statue along with hand carved elephant figures
 
What I neglected to bring back, but should have done and very much regret now, is not having brought back one of the trackers' self-made axes, that they use to build blinds and clear roads.
 
These are two hand stitched pillow cases. Done by local Damara ladies in Namibia. They stitch there name in it. I gifted one and they ended up framing the pillow case and it looks great.

I’m with you on this, I had the opportunity to bring back some liberated poachers spears from Mozambique back in 2014. Wasn’t sure of the legality so I declined. Turns out I probably could’ve just cut them to fit in my rifle case and brought them home.

I’ve got a few of those. Always next time.

Also caught some poachers, but since their "spears" were just sharpened rebar, not that interesting to bring back.

I FORGOT…Lon @Tokoloshe Safaris gave me one of the handmade axes you are talking about!!! It is one of my proudest possessions hanging in my trophy room!!! Priceless!!!
 
You get one from him IF his trackers and staff think you deserve it if they respect you which I think is just awesome with it being such an honor to me when he presented it! It made my world knowing the trackers and staff both liked and respected me based on my time with all of them!!!
 
My personal favorite is a spear I brought back in my rifle case. Also some Gin Traps sent with trophies. We also have various carvings.
