This scam artist.
Sapi was teaming with wildlife and lots of trophy-quality animals when I was there in 2016. I believe I was the last safari in Sapi before hunting/fishing was shut down. The greens wanted to make it into a photo safari area and “outbid” the hunting/fishing operators in the area. Fast forward 6 years, no photo camps were built, no mandatory government fees were paid, no revenue brought in, and of course….NO anti-poaching patrols were run.
So I know this clown likes to say it was 1950-2017 hunting pressure that decimated Sapi, I’m here to tell you it was 2017-2022 open season on poaching by the absence of antipoaching pressure that caused the issues.
Evidence I’m not full of shit and he is? I paid to go there and there was a long line of hunters eager to hunt that storied, game rich area for over 50 years. We wouldn’t go if it wasn’t amazing, paying a super-premium to hunt and fish Sapi. Yet now 5 years into this guy’s photo-tourism intended custody they need to airlift in game from Save? Yeah, great job buddy.
