Why Does it Take So Much Time, Money, and Patience

[Jfet]

This documentary is a great illustration on why it takes money, time and patience to get things done in Africa. If you are going to Africa for any reason, slow down.

Enjoy!

The American mentality (that fewer and fewer of us even seem to have) of getting it done ASAP doesn't seem to exhist there (IME).

It took 18 months to get a cape buffalo skull & cape back from Mozambique (and cost over $4,000)!


If it wasn't for the safari company's concierges (who are worth their weight in gold) and know who's palms to grease and how much to grease them and who to stand firm against, I think a first-timer would hardly ever go back, despite the best hunting in the world.

I agree, people need to remember that they are not in their home country anymore and that if you try to push them they are going to be like the old donkey and just sit down on it's rear and look at you.
