Blair Worldwide has been big news lately due to some problems with a sheep hunt - nothing to do with Africa, although I would imagine that their services would be equally reliable in re: to an African hunt. I have zero experience nor desire to hunt in Africa, I have already stated in previous posts just what I was directing my comments toward. I am aware that hunting Africa is exclusively the realm of those utilizing an outfitter - in cases where there is no other alternative, more power to you. I do hate to see the skill set of the independent hunter die, and for whatever reason, see it replaced with a near universal reliance on outfitting.
