I don't know anyone involved in this situation but it confirms a valuable lesson: I cannot "afford" a "bargain" hunt.
I've had excellent luck with the outfitted trips that I've been on and for that reason I use the same booking agent for everything. He's probably not the cheapest but he has a stable of repeat customers that he knows better than to let down.
As someone who is currently saving for my next African hunt (I've only been home from my last one a month) I truly feel bad that you guys didn't have the hunt that you expected.
