We are in the final stages of hunt planning for the year.... we have flown Delta/KLM / AirFrance historically but by far the easiest route to Tanzania is with Kenya Airways both to and from with the connection in JFK and the direct offering through Nairobi. It seems to be a very affordable"business" option and the website says they transfer hunting firearms. I have my own personal reservations but hoping that maybe some of the esteemed travelers on the forum have some personal experience to either affirm my reservations or provide encouragement that I have found the new fastest and cheapest way to access East Africa. Thanks in advance...

Cheers,
CK
 
When I lived in Nigeria, my wife and I flew from Lagos to Nairobi on Kenya Airways. No issues or hesitation to do it again. Good airline and Nairobi airport wasn’t too bad either.
 
I believe the issue with connecting through Kenya would lie with your guns.
 
I have flown them a number of times. They are a very good airline. I have not flown with guns, although I would take them at their word if they say they can do it.

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
