TANZANIA: Rungwa Game Reserve

If y’all just hunted a year ago in Tanzania, your trophies are not really late yet. It can take up to two years and 1 to 1.5 years is normal. The only free-range country that got my trophies to me quickly was Zambia. That’s probably because my outfitter did his own dip/pack and paperwork with the government but most outfitters do not.

WTA is a good organization and if they are now working a different angle on it, then it should be successful. If not, let me know. I helped a guy from MT get his buffalo out of Mozambique a few years ago after he got the run-around. I took my friend, Barbara Crown, (previously of The Hunting Report and now with SCI) to the outfitter’ booth at SCI and lit a fire under the outfitter. Buffalo got shipped a couple weeks later.
Thanks, much appreciated!
I'm afraid I haven't been able to get mine back either. All I've been able to secure are promises, broken ones. I am curious about what you said of some WTA scheme; how would that work? Any specifics on that?
No specifics other than WTA was paying a different outfitter to pay the government to get the trophies released.

That's exciting news. What outfit are you going with? I presume you're taking your own rifle this time; what is it?
We will be going with Kwadiwa Ranch/ TG Safaris and renting a rifle.
I'm sure you've seen my new 375 H&H. Just installed the scope today any will be shooting it this weekend. Also supposed to be taking delivery of Peregrine bullets Friday.


Can't help you there. My taxidermist was/is going to do all that if those critters ever get released.

Good luck and good hunting
 
This is a bucketlist trip for me. Rungwa, from what I've seen and heard, is just a wild place. I enjoyed reading.

At Kalahari Safari, the Small Things Are the Big Things
The thrill of the stalk. The stillness of the wait. The age-old rhythm of the hunt.
It’s not just about the size of the trophy. It’s about the stories that will be told for years.
We believe the memories are the true prize. The small things are the big things.
And we’re proud to offer a hunting experience that honours exactly that.

Not sure your price range. Have a 375 H&H with a muzzle brake. Nice rifle only fired a few times. Also a Mossberg 375 Ruger its been used and shows a few hunts on it.
